After winning several awards and winning over many viewers, this incredible series came to an end this week. However, it remains relatively confidential in France.
In the pantheon of the best series, there are popular and critical successes that everyone, or almost, has seen: Game of Thrones, Friends or Breaking Bad are undoubtedly part of it. But we must not overlook other programmes, whose ratings success may not have been as resounding, but nevertheless remain television jewels, such as The Leftovers and more recently Succession.
This last series officially ended this Sunday, May 28 in the United States (and this week in France), after four seasons and 39 episodes. Succession follows the members of a dysfunctional family at the head of one of the biggest media companies in the world. Yet extremely wealthy, the four children of Logan Roy each hope to inherit the family empire (and paternal admiration) when their father begins to have health problems. A merciless war then rages within the siblings, from which no one will emerge unscathed.
In France, Succession may not garner huge audience success compared to other former television productions mentioned above, but it does not fail to be followed and commented on every week by a solid core of fans and seasoned series enthusiasts. She is also praised by international critics for the finesse of her writing and the qualities of interpretation of each of the actors, Jeremy Strong, Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook and Matthew Macfadyen in the lead.
Succession has won numerous awards, including the Emmy Awards for Best Drama Series in 2020, the Golden Globe for Best Drama Series in 2020 and 2022, while Jeremy Strong and Brian Cox each won acting awards.
If you haven’t seen yet Succession, it’s still not too late for the binge-watcher, and you would be wrong to deprive yourself of it. The first three seasons were broadcast on OCS, while the fourth season is to be discovered on Prime Video. However, you must have the Warner Pass, which requires paying a supplement to the basic subscription.
