No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

No offense, but I don't know how you even get through that shit. It's soooo boring. I tried like 3 times, just nope. I honestly don't know how it got ranked so high in terms of TV popularity. Like bruh, its literally just bussiness meeting, parties, meetings, scheming, curse words for the lolz, more meetings.

Rich boy can't coup against his father because daddy got the president to shut down the airspace??? ๐คฃOkay that's absolutely ridiculous, but its interesting, but probably the most intetesting thing in like, what, 8 episodes? Then its just a few more episodes of nothing.
Then rich boy tries to buy drugs but crashes car with someone else.
Like, out of and entire season 1, only the "coup" scene is remotely interesting, then it's a nothing burger.
Maybe it's just my contempt for rich people. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Probably depends on what kind of viewer you are, Succession is entirely character driven and what's happening matters less than how the characters react to it, how they behave with each other.
It's probably pompous to say it's a more intellectual experience, but I believe it is, much like the hated Fly episode of Breaking Bad or the first season of Breaking Bad where "nothing happens"
*Strange New Worlds
Goddamn, I even google it just to make sure since it sounded strange when I wrote it, and google just sugggested it as a valid auto complete
Google knows the real world is a dystopia.
Google is actively making it so.
