In this age of endless streaming services and countless choices to catch up on any show you wish to, it felt a bit like we’d said goodbye to great television events – those experiences were everybody is watching the same show at the same time and itching to talk about the second the credits roll. But after the epic finale of Succession season 4, it’s fair to say Max’s crown jewel bucks that trend. Everyone is watching Succession, and the fall of the final curtain of Jesse Armstrong’s vicious drama leaves millions of us bereft as we search for a new show to fill the void.
For the uninitiated, Succession transports us into the world of ruthless billionaire media mogul Logan Roy and his bickering children, each of them vying to take control of the family business after he’s gone – despite being spectacularly unqualified for the role in very different ways. It is stupendously funny, utterly compelling, and the perfect balance of elegance and grotesque – it's arguably top of the list of the best Max shows.
