    I only have seen a small slice of it but since Succession didn't include any Little Saint James corporate-art scenes to my knowledge I can only imagine that its fascist apologia has been wholly, gleefully swallowed.

        Succession? No, I think you'd like it. The Roys are all bumbling, incompetent manchildren throughout the entire series. You're just watching them get dunked on the entire time—they never once make a decision shown to have positive consequences.

        I'm sort of confused at it being called fascist apologia. It's not revolutionary, sure, but the worst I can accuse it of is nihilism. The Roys are stand-ins for Bloomberg, Murdoch, Zuckerberg, etc and they're mercilessly mocked by the story. They fail to maintain any sort of meaningful relationships because everything is transactional to a capitalist.

        Maybe it's too sympathetic to Logan, but I dunno. His kids hate him, he exploits young female staffers, and he dies alone.
