When Logan Roy (Brian Cox), the CEO of a significant media conglomerate, suffers a significant well being scare, his 4 youngsters and several other of his workers start scrambling for the title of CEO. Sadly for them, the Roy siblings, as Logan finally says, are “not severe individuals,” having all been alternately spoiled, coddled and abused by their rich household. Connor (Alan Ruck) Kendall (Jeremy Sturdy), Siobhan (Sarah Snook) and Roman (Kieran Culkin) will continually shock you with their means to backstab and lie, even to themselves.
But regardless of the high-stakes drama, the writing on Succession is a number of the most darkly humorous materials you’ll ever hear. Siobhan’s husband Tom (Matthew Macfadyen) and the ever-scheming Cousin Greg (Nicholas Braun) are as slimy as they’re duplicitous. It’s endlessly entertaining to observe these maladapted youngsters squabble over billions, with little thought to the real-world penalties of their conduct.
Succession took house a number of Emmys throughout its run and with good purpose. The twists are thrilling, the performances are nice and the insights into the lives of the privileged class are perceptive and stunning.
