Succession

This is a show about wealthy White people. There are minor characters of color (an attorney here, a business leader there) who briefly enter their orbit, but the main focus is the Roy family and their close business associates. Either overtly or subtly, the characters deride and devalue people who aren't wealthy (i.e., have to work for a living) and see them as expendable.

Little violence, aside from some scuffling between family. One character does have a brain hemorrhage on screen. A tragic death that involves one of the main characters happens at the end of season one. Language is used violently frequently, often in conjunction with sexual terms.

Relationships tend to be more about power than sex here. The sex lives of all the family members become plot points eventually, and a sex-related scandal is central in later seasons.

Not only is there a lot of profanity, but this show delights in new and inventive ways to use it. "F--k," "f--king," "s--t," "c--t," etc.

Characters drink, smoke, and use marijuana and cocaine.

Parents need to know that Succession is a dark comedy about an extremely rich family that owns a large media company and other businesses. Patriarch Logan Roy (Brian Cox) uses his wealth and power to manipulate and control his three sons, daughter, and extended family. The show works because the characters are all both self-absorbed and socially awkward, which can be really funny. But this is a show about terrible people, and the satire needs to be understood in order to not walk away with the wrong message. This is a show that delights in its use of profanity, including "f--k" and "s--t," and "c--t," and its characters drink, smoke and use various drugs, often to excess. There's little sex or violence early on, but the show delves more into violence and sexually focused scenes as the show goes on.
