My favorite show, together with Better Call Saul. Amazing acting, writing and directing. Just won't get any better than this.

What a great show. I don’t know why it didn’t get amazing season 1 reviews and was more mediocre. This show has great character relationships, drama, comedy and a cast full of real characters. By the way Cousin greg the egg is MVP

Is good show, reminds me of my own work and the company I work for... Some plot twists are a little far fetched but still believable.

By far the best show I've ever seen. It's like a 30 hour movie (through season 3) that never lapses in quality. I'm blown away at every moment. Best dialogue, best plotting, best acting, and best looking show in TV history.

Season 1 starts a little slow, give it a few eps. These characters are great.

Definitely in the top 5 shows I’ve seen this year. Kieran Culkin and Brian Cox are amazing.

Easily the best show on TV right now and it also has the potential to be one of the all-time greats. Unmatched wit and ferocity from both the writers and cast. Brian Cox and Matthew Macfadyen are the standouts

Some fellow viewers are turned on by watching a show that glamorises the excesses of the 0.0001% - If this is holding you back, understand that the show is also a crime saga. The main characters are not much better than the Corleone family in The Godfather. Both are worth a watch. Expand

I loved season one and two, and I'm looking forward to season three. One of the top three shows for 2019 in my opinion. In this family I never know who is going to screw over who next. There's always some game afoot, and it makes for solid entertainment episode after episode. It's like a great game of chess, and the patriarch of the family is always at least five moves ahead of his "poor" children who never see it coming. Brilliant. Expand

I love this show. The characters are complex, each despicable in his or her own way. The dialog is fast paced and not always easy to follow (I've had to watch some episodes twice) but it is absolutely amazing.

A script that surprises all the time. It's great to see Succession. Each character has its good side and its bad side.

Each character has its good side and its bad side. Logan, played by Brian Cox, is the clear example of toxic parenting, but at the same time, there is love, but love poorly expressed. Kendall, played by Jeremy Strong, is a character who suffers a lot and when we see... he suffers more. This is beautifully, beautifully, beautifully done by up-and-coming actor Jeremy Strong, who won an Emmy Award for the role, in the Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series category. Sarah Snook as Shiv Roy is an example of a great actress. The character has a very good personality, because at times you love her and at other times you hate her. Kieran Culkin as Roman. Wow!!!! What a performance! A Hateful Character Who Is Impossible To Hate. All are excellent. Kudos to this work of art, one of the best series of all time, perhaps the best or second best of the 21st century. Expand

I like this show a lot. It's fun. But the writers consistently put words in the mouths of smart people that aren't smart. There is no way a family would act the way these people do at dinner parties.

Another show about the filthy rich, asking us to care. Do yourself a favor and watch Billions instead. The cast is so much better! Don't get me wrong, Brian Cox is exceptional, but the others are offensively boring!

It's truly amazing to me that a show with such on screen talent can be both incredibly unfunny, mean spirited and boring. Dirty Sexy Money did it much better for the theme. In terms of remaking King Lear, Ran did it best. Avoid this feel badIt's truly amazing to me that a show with such on screen talent can be both incredibly unfunny, mean spirited and boring.

Good acting, writing, production values, etc. But ultimately it left me empty and I wouldn't recommend it to others since the characters arent likeable. Maybe that was the point.

Kill it while there is still a good taste in the mouth.

I don’t get why this series gets such high appraise. Every character in this series is as competent as Joe Biden as President. It’s a joke.

It's a decent show but... it's like some studio execs said.."let's mix Billions with Yellowstone". The characters are not like able at all.

It's one of the best show ever, closing on Breaking Bad and The Wire. Definitely NOT 'another show about billionaires'.

Definitely NOT 'another show about billionaires'. Sure, it shows to some extent how rich are detached from reality, but above all this series is about dysfunctional family, lack of love and desperate craving for it. It's universal, just packed up in billionaire attire, luxury settings, cars etc.

The writing and characters are brilliant. Hard to watch. I don't know if there is a single character who is not 'the worst human', you can pity them in one scene and hate in the next one. Writers and actors did here something extraordinary. Even the huge plot twist almost few episodes into the season, seems spot on. Well played show runners! Be bold and fresh, that's the recipe for the great show.

I can't believe they are ending this show after only four seasons! It's not enough. It's still in its prime, I wish they could do at least one more after this.
