Succession

Any fans out there?

I have just started the first season and I find it hilarious. I see the manoeuvrings and interplay between the characters as blatant as it is. The humour is dark, as is my mine, but how can anyone take it as serious?

I relate to the characters in such that the rich are seen as human and flawed as they are. The acting is brilliant, but I had to google if the show was a comedy as I am laughing out loud a lot and I had presumed it was proper drama before I actually saw it.

I found this:

" “Succession” has always been a dark comedy masquerading as a [prestige drama])’s hourlong critical darling honestly has more in common with “Fleabag” or “Flowers” than it does “Ozark.” But that’s also because it’s specifically a dark British comedy conveniently masquerading as an American prestige drama."

And I agree wholeheartedly.

Do you Americans find it funny, like I do?

Yes, well worth the download :wink:

It is written by British people apparently, hence it’s humour.
