Succession

2018

Jesse Armstrong's series ran four seasons from 2018 to 2023 inside a family that controls a global media conglomerate and cannot decide who inherits it. The children circle their father and each other, and the show is very funny right up until the moment it is not. Brian Cox plays Logan Roy, with Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, Kieran Culkin, Matthew Macfadyen, Alan Ruck, and Nicholas Braun. It won nineteen Emmys and turned its final season into an event on the scale of the dynastic dramas it was quietly modeled on.
