SUCCESSION
Probably one of the most anticipated shows of 2021, SUCCESSION (trailer here) is finally back with its long-awaited Season 3. After an intense S2 ending that left us with a betrayal and a cliffhanger, the HBO show returned with an episode that did not disappoint. For those of you who are not familiar with this epic satirical comedy-drama, it follows the Logan Family (loosely based on the Murdoch family, with some hints of Redstone thrown in) as they navigate a cut-throat grudge match to determine who will take over the family business . Created by Jesse Armstrong, SUCCESSION wins its audience with dark comedic humor, witty writing, characters that you hate to love but can’t stop following, impeccable performances, and some truly iconic theme music. Never have I considered myself a fan of stories that follow dysfunctional uber-riches, but SUCCESSION changed that for me. It’s bitterly funny, deliciously entertaining, and in the end it is up to you to decide if it’s comedy or a tragedy at heart.
