Series Review: Succession

“No real people involved.”

This Week: Just Taking Notes on Stanley Tucci

What are you all watching this week?

Like many out there, I've been wrapped up in Succession. I don't usually watch shows with characters I cannot possibly ever like, but there's something fascinating about watching these horrible people drowning in money and power trying to find their way to the surface. Kieran Culkin's character Roman and his uncontrollable mouth is my favorite character, if only because I think he's the only one who tells the truth and actually loves his horrible father.
