In January 2024, Succession won four Golden Globes - including Best Drama - from a record 13 nominations, cementing the truth in stone: no other show since The Sopranos has come close to its influence, impact and intelligence. Fuelled by the uncertainty of the global pandemic and the ugly political aftermath of the 2016 and 2020 U.S. elections, Succession's premise is simple but devastating: rip a despicable yet powerful family apart using jaw-droppingly innovative and original one-liners, led by a wealth of top TV talent.
