Review by Screen_O_Genic

The outstanding drama on business and hands down one of the best shows to grace the screen, "Succession" has it all. The tale of media giant Logan Roy and his family is one of the great epics of filmdom. With a stellar cast, topnotch direction, memorable music and scintillating script the viewer is taken for a wild ride into a rollercoaster of scenes, thoughts and emotions as one is privy to familial intrigues, business deals and human nature at its best and worst. The leads are archetypes: crude and towering Logan Roy, the irascible patriarch who dominates and is the bedrock and foundation where everyone revolves on; university smart but weak and indecisive Kendall Roy who just doesn't have the "It" factor to get things done; soft and snivelly Roman Roy whose barbed cynicism is as strong as his character is weak; Siobhan "Shiv" Roy, the only daughter who exemplifies the female in a male dominated field: eager to impress and usually disappoints in the end; the marginalized and barely there Connor Roy whose sheltered state of mind borders on the delusional. Add in Shiv's fruity and weasly hub Tom Wambsgans and their obnoxiously detestable within the spectrum cousin Gregory Hirsch and you've got a personality stew that'll crackle the screen. With an equally compelling rotating cast in support the show is a powerhouse from start to finish. While a number of episodes are all over the place this is one show where it hits bullseyes all the time.

An excellent example where perfect casting combines with outstanding filmmaking, when it comes to business and drama, business drama, "Succession" is the model and the standard, the one to beat. Nominated numerous times and winner of multiple awards throughout different categories this is one show where art and finance superbly meet. Essential.
