Title: Succession
Review: This is one ugly show …. I’d call it “Billions” light…. not quite the potency of characters as the latter, but a lot of the same themes and set in the hard to believe world of NYC high corporate culture. Cox, a Shakespearian actor, is a powerhouse as the relentless patriarch of the Roy clan. The acting is all very good, but there is nary a likeable character in the bunch. Hard to watch at times foe its sheer malevolence, but captivating at the same time. Makes you wonder if being rich is all that desirable. These people are outright nuts
