[quote=Anonymous]I do think the show has layers and I would argue the acting performances were really good (in part because I think those performances imparted layers that may not be that evident otherwise). But I also see people saying this show is on the level of The Sopranos or Mad Men and I really don't agree. One thing about the show is how narrow it's focus is. It's like the same 12 people in similarly looking rooms doing similar stuff for four seasons. Compare that to how expansive and layered some of these other shows were, and the level of growth and change you see in the characters, or the time period covered by the show. Like thinking about the journey Walter White goes on, or how Betty Draper adapts while always staying very much herself over two decades, or the way the Sopranos developed characters like Dr. Melfi or Christopher over the course of the show, or how Tony's and Carmela's marriage shifted and changed. I think Succession was an interesting show but I don't think it's on that level. I think Paddy Considine gave a more interesting performance on House of the Dragon (a sort of silly show, but the role gave him a lot to do) than Brian Cox on Succession. And I love Brian Cox! But the show didn't always give many of these characters that much to work with, outside the three main siblings.[/quote]
