HBO's HBO series Succession is about a cohort of wealthy, privileged media-business strivers.
But the show does have something like a villain, in the form of Logan Roy, the show's patriarch.
Logan Roy is the lynchpin of the series, the prime mover in a cast of rich and nominally successful yet essentially feeble and gutless wannabes.
Succession is about a tyrannical old guard baron who held on too long and didn't plan very well for his own demise.
Those competing to rule his empire and build the world that comes next are similarly cast as archetypes of power.
Succession isn't merely a narrow narrative about which character will take over from Logan but about which center of power will triumph in our own world.
