Watchseries; I cannot say enough good things about this series and the cast. After Game of Thrones ended (season 7) Billions was my favorite show. Succession was a close 2nd, but sometime during season 2, it took over as the #1 show. Brian Cox is amazing like always. The characters Greg and Tom play off each other so Damn well, I'm ready to start laughing as soon as I see them in the scene. I was expecting to see Jeremy Strong be more like his character in the Big Short, but surprised to see him more like his broken down character from The Judge... Nonetheless, his performance is terrific and can't wait to see if he truly becomes the man with the killer instinct his dad obviously wants from him. I really hope season 3 isn't delayed too long from this crap pandemic... B/c I'm desperately wanting more and I can only re-watch the first 2 seasons so many times. I'm kidding... I can keep watching them over and over, but still thirsty for more. HBO definitely did it again with this series!!!!!

Succession watchseries. It's been a long time since I've watched anything so tense, gripping and literally sitting on the edge of my sofa. Gutted there is only two seasons and can't wait for the third. Kieran Culkin is my favourite character - made for the role.
Everything in this show is fantastic. Second season is even best than the first, if this could be possible.
From the mesmerizing title score by Nicholas Brittell (Chopin of the 21st century) to the tremendous, really tremendous performance by Brian Cox (he deserves every award for his composition of Roy Logan). But then every character... I had never watched Jeremy Strong before, and I have to say his Kendall is, as another reviewer said here, tragically fascinating both with empathy and pity. Kudos! And Nicholas Braun as grandnephew Craig-Greg is a most welcome box of surprises (is he a naive fast-learner making his way through the game, or a machiavellic master chess player?) The casting people have made an impeccable, perfect choice for every character in the show.
Very complex characters, intriguing plot even with the cards on the table, outstanding pace. Don't miss this show redolent of quality, skill, intelligence and theatrical tension. Some of the episodes have been remarkable jaw-droppers!
I'm surprised there isn't more positive reviews.
Its well written, nice amount of dark humour. The characters are mostly horrible people you'd never want to meet in your life.
I love it.
I could not stop watching this show and certainly hope there will be a season 2. The entire cast was fabulous but Matthew Macfadyen's character Tom was my favorite. Macfadyen had me laughing, cringing and cheering throughout the series. Can't wait to see what happens next!
Early on this show is trying to find its tone. Too many weird zooms imply a mockumentary style and the humor clashes with drama early on. This show is at its best when it resolves around the sadness of each character, all trying to earn dads love, who just might not be capable of giving it. The acting is phenomenal, especially after the first couple of episodes. In some instances it reminded me of Festen (Thomas Vinterberg). I strongly disagree with some reviews here stating that the characters are two dimensional. On the contrary! It just takes a while before things come together. I highly recommend this show and I hope you do too.
