Succession

Succession (2018-2023) is a Shakespearean tragedy of corporate power, winning 13 Primetime Emmy Awards including three consecutive Outstanding Drama Series wins. The Roy family saga depicted the battle for control of a global media empire over 39 episodes, with each season garnering over 95% on Rotten Tomatoes. Creator Jesse Armstrong's razor-sharp, profanity-laced scripts became known for their unusually cutting dialogue, and the show is widely regarded as one of the defining prestige dramas of its era for how precisely it dissected the psychology of extreme wealth while maintaining a darkly comic tone throughout.
