I was close to stop watching the show after the first three episodes. Everyone seemed to be a self-absorbed rich asshole, the show itself seemed to be going nowhere. But I'm so glad I didn't stop watching. Episode five was the first one where I thought "Oh, maybe it isn't so bad after all." It only improved afterwards. With all the schemes, backstabbing, and generally horrible people it's basically Game of Thrones set in 2018 New York. Succession is probably the best show on TV at the moment. I can't wait for season two.

Peak motherfucking television. Words do not do it justice.

I really don't get the obsession with Succession. Everyone in the show is truly despicable and easily hated. If I can't connect to any character, what keeps me watching? Is it just because people want to see rich people struggle, they want to toss all the one percenters into a bucket of "worst people alive because they have significantly more money than me"? I got through four episodes, barely. The last two episodes I kept asking "why am I watching this?" and finally just pulled the plug, never to return.

This looks like it's going to be Rich People Shameless. I'll watch because of Adam McKay but it does look like it might end up being derivative. P.S. This opinion is only based off the first episode.

Every single god damn character in the show is a MAJOR god damn buttwipe and yet.....it's **hard** to stop watching, because it's like a massive trainwreck. With multiple trains. Made of money. And lawyers. And corporate-intrigue. And screwed-up family-ties. **Friendly warning**: you may find yourself glued to your display/TV for several days.
