Succession: Season 2


I liked Season 2 more than I liked Season 1, but, man, I'm just not ready to crown Succession the heavyweight champion of prestige television. There's too much plot going on "between episodes" if you will, and as such we're very much stuck in the third person, unaware of any individual character's true motivations. Also too much of the show still feels like a celebration of abhorrent behavior and excessive lifestyle porn. I understand the appeal here and in many ways I share it, but I'll enter Season 3 as far more of a casual fan than most people, it seems.
