• Well-written, hilarious, yet also gut-wrenching. I am not surprised I enjoyed these, Armstrong's Peep Show is one of the best comedy series of all time, but even this outshines that. A cast of deplorable people who, despite how atrocious and outright pitiful they can be, can still be endearing, as they grapple with the life-long effects of having a truly wicked man as their father.
  
• This is one of the funniest shows of all time.
  
• Succession is so good that it basically made its own iconic brand of television humor (much like The Office). Succession truly felt like a phenomenon as it was happening with such a winning formula of morally questionable characters who somehow were collectively so addictively compelling despite their extreme wealth and privilege.
  In retrospect, it's stunning that a show like Succession could even be as popular as it was because it's really not a satire with an "eat the rich" type of message like Blink Twice or Triangle of Sadness. It revels in its elitism and makes it equally desirable and detestable. Without its high level of humor and hilarious characters such as Greg and Tom, even Roman and Kendall at times, the series wouldn't work. Its backbone is the real family dynamics that still ring true even though the trust funds and cover-ups. It's truly brilliant and one of the best ever.
  
• An absolute masterpiece.
  
• Over a year since the finale aired, and a day hasn't gone by where I don't miss this show. Easily one of the most riveting and well-written shows I've ever seen, filled with fascinatingly horrible characters. "Connor's Wedding" is by far one of the most thrilling live viewing experiences I've had, the perfect example of Succession's ability to have you recoil from characters one minute, and then wish you could hug them the next. Plus, its theme song is one of the best.
