5 Shows That'll Help You Deal With The Loss Of Succession
There’s no show quite like it, but you can try to fill the void.
Part of the success of Succession was the unique storyline and style of storytelling that Jesse Armstrong adapted.
It's very hard, if not impossible, to find anything to compare it to in that sense, which makes it even harder for fans to switch to something else now that it's over.
While there is no other family on television as deeply flawed in their own way as the Roy's, there are still some characters that deserve your attention.
Here are 5 TV shows you might try switching to if your heart's still broken by the finale of Succession.
This American crime drama focuses on the life of New Jersey-based Italian-American mobster Tony Soprano. This story is similar to Succession in how closely the family line is intertwined with the business, and how messy and dramatic things get because of it.
Be sure to check it out if you haven't already.
The Wire
This 5 season drama is set in Baltimore and each season introduces a different institution in the city and its relationship to law enforcement.
It may not be about business or family, but it definitely has the same level of intensity and quality of production.
Arrested Development
This show is much closer to Succession in premise, but very different in genre.
Just like Succession, Arrested Development tells a story of four kids looking for their father's approval and constantly screwing themselves and each other over, but in a sitcom way that can be a nice change.
Big Little Lies
First, Big Little Lies is also produced by HBO, second, it is a proven Emmy-worthy show, and third, it features some ultra-rich and spoiled people just like Succession.
Besides, why wouldn't you want to watch a show with Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman in the cast?
Want to watch Succession but on a ranch? Then this is the show for you. With Kevin Costner portraying John Dutton, the rich, powerful, impossible-to-please patriarch of the family, you may even find too many similarities to Logan Roy for your liking.
When it comes to family dynamics, this may be your best bet.
