  This is Roger Bennett from Men in Blazers,

• 00:12

  and I cannot count the times during lockdown I've yearned to hear the distorted majesty of that Succession theme song crackling across my television screen.

• 00:23

  Like millions of you, I adore the show with its frenzied takeovers, drone strike put downs,

• 00:31

  fleeting glimpses of humanity smothered by greed, aspiration,

• 00:36

  desperate cries for attention, and stream of consciousness obscenities.

• 00:40

  Just fuck off.

• 00:42

  Fuck off, Tom.

• 00:44

  Fuck you, Kendall.

• 00:45

  The fuck off.

• 00:46

  Oh, come on, man.

• 00:47

  Fuck off.

• 00:48

  The performances, the writing,

• 00:50

  the Logan Roy cardigans make this show the like Game of Thrones without the dragons and direwolves.

• 00:57

  Both are magical confections of family dynamics, human lust for power, unfathomable trauma,

• 01:04

  spinning narratives that are deeply timeless, yet truly zeitgeist in equal measure.

• 01:11

  That's why Succession is such a work of wonder and why I'm delighted to be hosting HBO's Succession podcast,

• 01:18

  a show designed to give you what I know I crave.

• 01:22

  A weekly succession fix.

• 01:24

  Long form conversations with the people who make the show such eye popping,

• 01:28

  mind searing, must watch fair.
