Finished watching Succession a couple of weeks ago, and what a phenomenal show! This was my first time seeing any of the lead actors perform, and they absolutely delivered. The acting was so intense, layered, and emotionally raw that I never found myself siding with just one character-each had their flaws, vulnerabilities, and moments of brilliance.
The comedic timing was razor-sharp, seamlessly woven into the high-stakes drama. Truly a masterclass in storytelling and performance. Huge shoutout to Andrij Parekh, who directed some of the show’s most visually striking and emotionally charged episodes.
I walked away from the binge session in awe of Jeremy Strong and Kieran Culkin,only to find out days later that both were nominated for Oscars in 2025 for their outstanding performances in other films: Kieran for A Real Pain and Jeremy for The Apprentice. Huge win for Kieran, though Jeremy was just as phenomenal. What a show, and I can't wait to see more from these actors in the future!
