Movie Reviews and Previews The sweet, sweet misery of Succession I recently read something on how there’s too many billionaires on TV and that it whitewashes the harm of hoarding wealth. (Loot was mentioned, as was Succession.) Succession isn’t a satire and no one is getting lifestyle envy from watching this show. They are incalculably rich and go By Maria • Jan 27, 2023 12:13 pm
