Succession's Succession
I don't know about you, but i don't want certain shows to end. Succession was one of those. Filled with beautifully ugly people who would betray their own for a penny on the street, it is a hybrid of King Lear and real-life conservative news billionaire family drama raised to HBO drama (eg Game of Thrones) level. So... yeah, there is no breathing for each episode. Or, I guess I could of said, "It's soooooo good!'

It is my Universe, after all.
"Succession" starred Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, Kieran Culkin, Alan Ruck, Matthew Macfadyen, Nicholas Braun, J. Smith-Cameron, Peter Friedman, David Rasche, and Fisher Stevens.
Heavy is the head
It got a crazy number of Emmys and Golden Globes and deserved all of them. My husband and I have laughed, scoffed, screamed at the TV, and cried along with this series. Just when we have thought we truly hate a character, he or she makes a feel something deep. The writing is truly some of the highest quality I ever seen. This is Citizen Kane, Godfather (I & II), Network all rolled in one.
Grab it for yourself
I want to stop talking because if you missed it, you don't have to miss out. The whole series is now available on Blu-Ray. In. the world of digital, my family and I have returned to collecting actual DVDs and Blu-Rays. We like having shows and films we love available to us at anytime. You can find Succession on Amazon and other outlets. Trust me it's worth it.

I’m always up for a recommendation for shows. I’ll have to add this one to my list! Sounds very good.
I liked the series but I found it ran out of story and it felt repetitive towards the end.
I’ve never watched Succession, but your description of those beautifully messy characters has me curious! The writing sounds incredible, and I love that it sparks family debates. I might just have to grab the Blu-Ray and see what all the buzz is about!
Succession sounds like an interesting show to me and I am hearing about it for the first time. Thanks for the recommendation!
I love it when an enitre series comes out together! Thank you for sharing, I had not heard of this series before.
