ComingSoon's Succession: The Complete Series Blu-ray review takes a look at one of the best television shows to ever be released.
is now available to own in high-definition thanks to the Succession: The Complete Series Blu-ray set. Created by Jesse Armstrong, who also wrote many episodes, and having 16 of its 39 episodes directed by the talented Mark Mylod, the show is an incredible drama that is as hilarious as it is tense. Featuring one of the most satisfying finales in recent memory, it’s one of HBO’s best shows and nothing currently airing has quite scratched the same itch since it ended last year.
“Power, politics, money… It’s all in the family in this bitingly funny, Emmy-winning drama series about a highly dysfunctional dynasty. With aging, uber-wealthy patriarch Logan Roy , CEO of one of the world’s largest media and entertainment conglomerates, considering retirement as he deals with health concerns, each of his four grown children follows a personal agenda.
The show really shines when watched as a whole, though, as the Succession: The Complete Series Blu-ray demonstrates. I’ve rarely seen a show this consistent in quality. Straight from the pilot to the finale, there are great character moments and performances, and you stay totally captivated. It’s the rare show that never needed to find its footing, instead hitting the floor running and being able to sprint to the very end.
The Succession: The Complete Series Blu-ray features some great extras as well. The first season is light, as there’s only one special feature going over the season finale, but afterward, there are inside-the-episode featurettes for every episode of Season 2. Seasons 3 and 4 have “Controlling the Narrative” specials, along with some additional featurettes with the cast and a hilarious “The Best of Logan Roy” video.
The only flaw with this incredible set is the packaging. It comes with a slipcover that then houses an Epik Pak case. The contents of each of the 12 discs are nicely shown in the interior packaging, and the discs are packed nicely enough, with two per side of each flip tray. However, the flip tray isn’t mounted to the case. It just sits there, so if you shake it around, you can see movement, and it just gives a less-than-premium feel to what is otherwise a really strong set.
