In the third season of the drama series, nothing is missing: the repeated twists, the stickiness of family relationships when money is involved, breathtaking locations
The third season of Succession, the HBO TV series, only confirms the goodness of the first two, if possible it improves them (Sky Atlantic and Now). At the center of the scene are always the patriarch Logan Roy (Brian Cox), the company Waystar Royco, leader in the world of media and cruises, and the succession struggle between the heirs, now that Kendall (Jeremy Strong), wants to take over. of his father’s empire, throwing mud, indeed showing the mud that dirties many of Waystar Royco’s business. Let’s try to identify some reasons that make the series so enticing (there is still the hand of Adam McKay). The plot, first of all: repetitive twists, the stickiness of family relationships when money is involved, the display of locations, breathtaking scenarios on law firms and the world of communication. as if the world of the media were taken from angles that are foreign to us.
Writing, of course: taking acting and characterization for granted of the characters (at certain levels, the luxuries must be taken into account), still affect the use of the hand-held camera and that insistence on close-ups, with sudden zooms that try to scrutinize neurosis and mood swings of existences in constant and perennial emotional tension. The drama is tempered by a vein of humor, unpredictably: leaving the purely financial aspects behind, it is family relationships that prevail, from the moment in which the killing of the father ceases to be a symbolic moment and becomes a confrontation with no exclusions of strokes. The plant resists and thrives (more Dynasty than Dallas) but the other heirs Roman (Kieran Culkin), Connor (Alan Ruck) and Shiv (Sarah Snook) take care of keeping an almost surreal counterpoint alive. The flood is coming and everyone is convinced that they are embarked on the ark of No.
