The most enjoyable part of watching "Inheritance" is that

A simple conflict (the old man, the backbone of the family, has deteriorated),

A simple goal (how to keep the family business going smoothly),

a simple character background (family members and some outside management),

It can go on like a surging river, and in the two seasons with a total of 18 episodes (updated to the 8th episode of the second season at the time of writing, there are 2 more episodes, this season will end), and continue to bring out new breaking points.

Some viewers commented that watching "Inheritance" you can never guess what's going to happen in the next episode.

Of course.

Because when you are in such a family that traverses the political, business, financial and media circles, it is like being in a card game with the world's top configuration. You can use countless resources in your hand, and it is difficult for you to guess the opponent's hole cards. Moreover, every hand of each player will affect the subsequent play.

As you can imagine, an ordinary acquisition of an Internet innovative small company will affect the choice of family heirs, which will then affect the future CEO and COO candidates of the company, triggering sharp fluctuations in stock prices and the entry of private equity funds, making the situation develop into a situation that can only be achieved through Hostile/friendly takeover to keep control of the family business?

The whole drama is closely woven, laying foreshadowings in finance, politics, PR, business management, and various angles, saving energy, and detonating one by one under the catalysis of human nature's perverted greed.

    Poverty is the root of all evil, but so is wealth. Such a wealthy family, guarding against each other and hurting each other, how can there be any true feelings, only hurt. But it's the financial version of Gossip Girl, and none of the characters in it are likable. Abandoned.

    On how the king of the media empire destroyed his own children. This show is simply a negative energy gathering area, everyone is in the process of tearing and being torn, betrayal and betrayal. The documentary-style lens push and pull is more realistic. The second son's two rebellions in episodes 6 and 10 are the best. But how thrilling the process is, how dazed the result is. Expect the cruise ship scandal to detonate in the second season. The actual prototype of this plot is the Epstein incident, right?
