Masterful drama about paterfamilias Logan Roy (Brian Cox). Cox gives his main character a lot of gravitas. This Trumpian and Ailean tycoon rules an American media company. Almost all the characters are ambitious, dysfunctional and unsympathetic. And yet, or precisely because of that, the series knows how to captivate. Sharp, rude, villainous and funny, the media company and Roy's three sons and daughter are portrayed.
The pace is fast (enhanced by the jumps in time between episodes) and the screenplay is quirky. Never before have I seen a series with so many fireworks in the dialogues; fast, humorous, provocative and dirty. Succession is similar to The Loudest Voice in several ways, also a great series to watch. A real binger.

"Chic Krapuul" would also have been a good title for the series.
But praise for the script and for the actors for being able to bring so much arrogance to the fore.
Yet they are important people with a piece of the world in their power, but with an unseen disrespect. Family values are non-existent for them and are pushed into the corner by their selfishness and jealousy and an unbreakable lust for money and power.
The first episode is promising, but afterwards a number of episodes follow that are very similar and in fact no different than the confirmation of the atmosphere in the Roy family and the pranks of each member, as described above.
It's only in the last episodes that more dynamics appear and that makes you long for more, which was not the case before.
I'm not going to risk a second season though.
To say their favorite term: fuck off.

I really enjoyed Dynasty squared. Now season 4 is on and I have watched the first 4 episodes. Unfortunately, the series can be compared to a piece of chewing gum that is stretched. The Roys don't get much more words out of it than questioning every opinion they have with a lot of hmm, breaking sentences and looking away. Of course still sun-drenched by f * ck (ing), s * ck, c * nt filled sentences.
The slime balls and freeloaders in the series are doing their job. Unfortunately, there never comes a time when these figures are put aside. They probably already act as errand boys.
It takes too long. The pace that characterized the series is gone. Endless bullshit.
Hopefully the next episodes will be better.
