You can take it from me it is very loosely based. Robbie Coltrane did a documentary on it a few years ago that is bang on. My best mate worked on the whole case closely, the whole series is driving him up the wall

Ah that’s disappointing as you hope they stick to the basis of what happened. That being said, still enjoying it so will just ignore the whole ‘based on true story’ premise.

Absolutely.
Thought I must admit that I didn’t really understand the series from the off.
I watched season 1, found it uncomfortable viewing, I hated all the characters and found some storyline concepts laughable. There was still something compelling about it so I stuck with it and I’m glad I did.

It was only a few episodes into season 2, when I got my bonce round it being both a drama and a black comedy (gripping but still ok to laugh), that I felt I could really get the best out of it and seasons 2 to 4 were much improved by my head being in the right place.

I strongly suspect that if I watch the whole shebang again in a couple of years, as is my way, then I’ll get a bit more out of it at second viewing.

I’m going to give it 6 months then do it again. Very few series with characters that are all irredeemably horrible, but it worked and worked magnificently.

Tbh mate....Not a patch on Midsommer Murders

You joke but Midsommer Murders whilst you're stoned is tense as fuck!

I felt that way at S3 in fairness.

I'll wait till you finish it before saying what I thought of it.

Done and dusted. I thought it was maybe picking up in the last two episodes but just got lazy and killed everyone off, damned if I can work out why they thought the ending was a good idea.

I just finished Barry.

I dunno what to make of it all.

I think i liked it but I dunno…. Ha

Loved Succession from start to finish. Now looking for something of a similar ilk to fill the void ….Boardwalk Empire has been recommended, might give that a whirl

We Crashed or Industry are worth a watch.

The last episode of succession yesterday. Perfect in every way. The 4 series must rank alongside the very best.

Very rare to get such a strong cast of actors with a very well written script, I think it will be some time before I will see a combination like that again. Unlike GOT and Ozark the series finale episode was a fitting way to tie it all up.

I only found out yesterday that Roman played by Kieran Culkin was Macauley Culkins brother and was also in Home Alone. His face had been bugging me from the first episode.
