I almost didn’t watch Succession (2018-) because it looked like white Empire, but thankfully everyone told me to power through the first couple of episodes to find the funniest show on television. Incredibly written, incredibly acted, this comedy-wrapped-in-a-drama about a media mogul family is a must-see for anyone who likes to pay attention when they watch tv. Don’t dick around on your phone! Every minute is action packed with “uh huh’s” and one liners like “sails out, nails out, bro.” It’s got people in power who are losers and people who are rich and losers and people that you think are feminist but are really just rich and awful. Who’s going to take over the family business? Who cares! Come for the daddy issues, stay for Cousin Greg.
Seasons 1 + 2 are on HBO.
