Maeve Higgins: Succession is about some truly awful people - I love it

There is plenty to think about when it comes to what Succession’s existence says about the US today, about corporate culture, corruption, and greed. But I'm too busy enjoying the horror and comedy

Succession season three sky tv

It's been so long since I’ve watched a television show the night it’s on television; I forget that was once the only way to do it. Now, it feels like an event again, a cute recreation of the olden days when shows were on once, and if you missed them, you missed out.

For the past six weeks, come hell or high water, I situate myself in a recliner at my friend Julie’s house at 9pm on Sunday evenings for a Succession watch party. We drink tea and screech when the characters do something outrageous or say something obscenely mean to one another. That happens a lot, because Succession is about some truly awful people.
