Succession TV Show Review
Succession begins a like a thriller drama in blue light and cinematography that suggests a sinister force lurking in the background. The first episode might be too soon to comment on how the story develops, but the pace and performances do not promise a intense and engaging watch. We meet the Roy family as the characters are paraded on the screen, but tone of the series feel like a mismatch to the topic and story.
It might develop into something good, but right now, doesn’t give you a lot to return for the next episode.
