HBO's Succession Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

For fans of HBO’s brilliant series this podcast is a must. Kara Swisher is the perfect host asking insightful and intelligent questions and adding her own opinions and thoughts regarding the characters and plot lines.

Must listen to companion to the show. I love Kara Swisher’s sardonic and informed take on this world. Podcast reflects her deep background in tech but also her fandom for the show. And I enjoy hearing ft the actors, writers and directors who make the show.

I think Jeremy is a brilliant actor and clearly went deep in this role. I wonder why most of my friends and family refused to watch the series: bad people behaving badly, they say. They’ve missed the point: abusive power versus tortured love. Modern day Shakespeare.

I LOVE the show! I like the analysis and the deeper look at the characters as well as a look into similar real world situations that mirror the series! It is an interesting take on the culture of the extremely wealthy and appears to be more realistic than other adaptations of the 1%.

I respect the writers and find it odd that some listeners believe they know the characters better than the people who created them .

If you scan the reviews of this podcast, you find the host is repeatedly being characterized as “insufferable”. I think that descriptor applies perfectly. I’m not sure why HBO decided to replace the original host - who was funny, intelligent, engaging and knowledgeable about the show with this unprepared blow-hard who doesn’t ask good questions or let her guests talk!?! An incredible show that deserves a much better podcast to accompany it.
