I've been writing a lot about Succession. I don't want too. I think its a miserable show. Not just because the characters are unlikable and its miserable in every aspect.

Its because nothing happens. To quote Beckett who probably would find the world the Roys live in absurd: "No one ever goes anywhere. Nothing ever happens. Its awful." I' don't watch the show because its unpleasant. But more than that, it kind of violates the rules of television.

No sympathetic characters or even tolerable ones. They're family and they don't want to be in the same room with each. Everyone now sense Culkin's Emmy moment is going to be the scene where he 'cheers' up his brother by saying among other things. "I mean, that guy drowned but I had to wait forty-five minutes for a drink. Who's the real victim?" That's what were considering great television now? Seriously?

People actually put the show on their top ten lists by saying "Nothing happened this season. That's why Succession is so great." That's what makes great television these days? Horrible people doing horrible things and nothing is happening. Hell, at least Game of Thrones had a murder every episode! I hated that show. Hated it. But at least you couldn't excuse that show of being uneventful. If this is future of great television, then seriously the era of Peak TV is over.
