First reviews of "Succession": Magnificent, every dialogue is a gem
Critics hailed the return of the hit series "Succession," whose third season premiered Sunday on HBO.
Telegraph critic Anita Singh gives five stars to the first episode describing it as "biting and brilliant" and writes that every line of dialogue is a gem, writes BBC.
Carol Midgley, who writes for the Times, says that the viewers received a famous feast that is successful on every level.
The series "Succession", which airs on Sky Atlantic and NOW in England as of Monday, follows a dysfunctional media dynasty. At the center of the story is the elderly patriarch Logan Roy, played by the Scottish actor Brian Cox, and everything revolves around one question - which of his four children will be his successor?

What is the secret of the "Succession" series?
The series was created by Jess Armstrong from Peep Show and was named the best series in the drama genre at the last year's Emmy Awards - it won one of seven awards.
The series is specific for its exceptional dialogue and warrior character choices that many critics have compared to Murdoch. Two years ago, the second season culminated (Spoiler alert!) when Kendall Roy, played by Jeremy Strong, unexpectedly turned the tables on his father.

"The series does not lack corporate maneuvers, running to positions, and similar moments as we would expect from America's most monstrous family company," writes the Guardian's Lucy Mengen. Philippa Snow from the Independent agreed, describing the episode as hilarious, painful, and wonderful.
