I found it interesting watching the content so beloved, by some on here. I watched the first series of 'Succession', I suffered through the second series and put myself through the angst of the third with 'time invested' reasons, hoping it gets better. The constant bickering in the family and the filled out empty discussions on whatever subject matter adds nothing to anything, so much so, I can't tell if a lot of it is ad libbed!
I understand the dynamics, but it's written so poorly that myself, as a viewer, don't really give a shit about rich people problems in this format. I got to the same conclusion with 'Billions', but much quicker this time, thanks to that show.
In comparison, I've been involved with 'The Morning Show/ Wars' and after a patchy first series, the second has been utterly brilliant! Yes, it has the same power grabbing rich people problems, but the avenues of exploration are so much more diverse and current.
Apart from Aniston being, well... Aniston, the rest of the cast is solid enough enough without anyone being amazing and so the writing is the thing that takes a bow.
Just had a quick Google of the [new] showrunner, so hats off to Kerry Ehrin, who had the show rewritten and, as a result, seems much more like an Aaron Sorkin offering!
Don't think I've ever written a review 'so far', as long, so I'm suitably impressed!
