Is Succession worth watching?
Yes, and it is the rare prestige drama that is genuinely funny throughout. Jesse Armstrong writes insults better than anyone currently working, and the series is constructed so that every episode is a status negotiation with no permanent winner. It never asks you to like anyone, which turns out to be freeing.
The thing to know before starting is that Succession has no plot in the usual sense. The company is bought and unbought, the children rise and fall, and the arrangement resets. What accumulates instead is knowledge of exactly how each of them will fail, and the last season pays that off completely. If a show without forward momentum sounds tedious, watch the first three episodes and see.

FAQs about Where to Watch Succession
Is Succession a comedy or a drama?
It is written and shot as both, and Armstrong came from comedy. The dialogue is joke-dense enough that it won comedy-writing awards in spirit if not category, while the family scenes play as straight tragedy. Viewers expecting one register and getting the other are the ones who bounce off it.
Which season is the best?
Season three is the tightest and season four the most emotionally complete, and almost nobody picks season one. The consensus weak spot is the first three episodes, which establish the arrangement before the writers had found the show's comic rhythm. Push to episode four before deciding.
Do I need to understand corporate finance?
No. The series is deliberately vague about mechanics, and the deal talk functions as texture rather than information. What matters is who is in the room and who has just been excluded, which the camera tells you plainly. Anyone who has worked anywhere will follow it.
