    I fucking LOVED Succession. The correlation to Fox, at least to me, was evident very early on. 

    And it was one of my favourite shows of all time. My wife thought it dragged a bit though.

    I appreciate sophisticated writing and this passed that test.  Yes, business doesn't move quite at the speed as the show, but it wasn't ridiculous like "Suits".  I know a lot of people like that show, but to me it's borderline silly how cases pop, go to court and get settled on the show in like, two days.  
    Succession was smart writing and at the end of the day, it's a tragedy.  And it's a good tragedy at that.  Think about how it all ended.

    I don't know what Fox has to do with Succession, but we've been watching that show lately. Just finished season 2 and I'm starting to get tired of it. Is it worth watching the rest? Seems to be getting stale right now. 
    So even into season 2 you see no correlation between ATN and Fox?  It should be apparent already.  
    Actually, I thought about that a lot when we watch. I think of it as if Disney were to buy out Fox (not that they ever would).
    I just meant I don't know what anything new or current with Fox prompted the picture, seemed a bit random. I thought there may have been some new story I was unfamiliar with he was referring to.
    But yes, there is a definite likeness.

    It's the patriarch of an enormous media conglomerate wanting to hold onto his empire for as long as is humanly possible, preventing his offspring from taking over. It's eerily similar to Fox, to be quite honest...especially the further along you go.

    I think it's one of the better shows that's been made. I always tell people that once you get past the fact that literally every character is a horrible human being and that the storylines require a lot of your attention, you'll really appreciate it. 

    HAVING SAID THAT---if you still don't like it even after how season 2 ends, maybe it's not for you. I fucking loved that ending and couldn't wait to see how 3 played out. lol
