Premiere episode was last night. Overall really solid show with solid acting and writing. Definitely a few moments that were painful (in a good way, as in heartbreaking). All of the characters are very well developed imo. They all have redeeming qualities while simultaneously being despicable in their own ways.

Looks good, the widow/wife may get annoying though.

Another interesting tidbit, it's directed by Adam McKay and he and Will Ferrell are the exec producers.

I liked the first episode but this is shaping up to be extra soapy and every character seems to be a despicable douchebag except for the clueless cousin and maybe Rucks character. I think this one might get old fast.

I just found out that a good friend from high school, Arian Moayed, has a significant role on the show starting next episode. I'm so ****ing stoked for him.

But yeah I don't like anybody so far so it makes it hard for me to get invested.

This show is hilarious. Yeah, they're all hateable, but I don't feel a need to specifically root for anyone to enjoy it. Watching a bunch of *******s backstab each other can be fun too.

HBO Renews 'Succession' for Season 2.

I like it so far, I have seen a lot of negative reviews. It is no Billions, but its a good show.

I’m liking it, but Kendall is such a tool, I have s hard time believing he could pull a smart hottie like his estranged wife.

Do we think Logan moved Shiv’s hand towards his crotch “in delirium” or to **** with her?

Everyone seems like a total dip****, I'm not sure how the show wants us to feel about the characters. Like, the promotional material is all "from the creator of The Big Short" but I feel like it might be more appropriate to view the show from the lens of "from the creator of Step Brothers, Eastbound and Down, and Talladega Nights: The Legend of Ricky Bobby"
