It is said that HBO is the benchmark in the American TV industry!
In addition to holding an epoch-making masterpiece like [Game of Thrones]...
HBO also has brain-burning dramas like [Westworld], Emmy-winning comedies like [Silicon Valley] and [Vice President]...
There has even been news that HBO will be working on a prequel to [Game of Thrones]!
Recently, another HBO boutique started broadcasting——

Succession
Art lovers may see famous paintings in posters at a glance…
Rubens' [The Hunt of Tigers, Lions, and Jaguars]
The picture is a game between hunters and various beasts, both people and beasts are full of anger and hatred...
Under the painting is the protagonist of the play: the Roy family
Everyone seems to be looking at the camera peacefully, but the inner tear has been leaked by the famous paintings behind them.
That's right, this is a story of a family struggle!
Half-hearted dad Logan Roy.
Savvy stepmother Marcy.
There are also four children with different minds and separate appearances...
Their family masters traditional TV media, from film production to theme amusement parks, and also acquires emerging online streaming media...
It can be said that the existence of the giant crocodile in the industry is rich!
Saying this is too conceptual, get down to it:
Four children and they live like ordinary people...
But the sophistication of Heaven's Chosen flashes all the time.
The eldest son has his own farming and animal husbandry business, the daughter has a foothold in politics, the younger son manages art, and the second son is ready to take over the family responsibilities...
Family dinner, eat so exquisite...
Family travel, full private plane transfer…
In addition, their family had to book a venue to go out to play, and even passersby were forced to sign a "confidentiality" clause:
The details of the Roy family's life cannot be revealed to anyone...
Of course, the quid pro quo is money!
Just kidding and betting is a million-level, a million-dollar check is like leaving a tip to the waiter...
This is how the family sitting at the top of the capital is about to usher in a battle within the family:
The old man is about to abdicate
Logan's body forced him to abdicate, so everyone was eyeing this piece of fat that would benefit him for a lifetime...
The name of the play [Inheritance] is also the origin of this.
"Inheritance" in Korean dramas is like this...
The "inheritance" in Hong Kong dramas is like this ...
What kind of drama will the "inheritance" of the old driver HBO be?
A family with a bright appearance, a skin that has fallen on the inside
Sooner or later, the foundation of Logan's life will be handed over to his children and grandchildren...
But there was no ideal successor among the four children, and even he had to postpone his retirement to continue to steer the family.
The eldest son , Connor , is keen on the environmental protection industry, has his own farm, and lives a life of cultivating immortals far away from pollution...
On Dad's birthday, everyone else used luxury items to please Dad.
But he brought a piece of sourdough from the farm to make bread, in order to show the pure and natural life philosophy of the environmentalists...
Dad said directly: I TM don't know what this is!
(Actually, the boss is really useless)
And the younger brother was beside him with a happy face, gloating at the misfortune, unable to hold back his laughter and annoying...
The second son Kendall has been regarded as the heir since he was a child, and he also appeared on the cover of Forbes...
But when he took office, the company's acquisitions and transactions were successful, and it was useless to be complained when he was at a loss...
Younger son Roman is cynical and jealous.
When Kendall was devastated, he brought the great god to exorcise evil spirits, and made his brother make a big appearance in front of the whole company...
business practices? Bullying your brother has no IQ!
Only daughter Sif has a foothold in the political arena, acting like a strong woman.
But when the secretary confirmed her job, she couldn't even figure out the basic political concepts, her status was nothing but money piled up...
The four children seem to have successful careers, but they are actually embroidered pillows.
They are ordinary people who grew up under the aura of their fathers. They don't care about money performance, but they always keep an eye on the inheritance...
Because, what they are most afraid of is losing the aura of the upper class!
Victory or defeat lies in the details, the most exciting is the silent tearing
The general grudge of the rich will inevitably become a bloody Drama...
However, the delicacy of [Inheritance] is beyond the traditional, each character is very delicate and sensual, and the tearing is truly grounded.
When Kendall was about to inherit the family business, he was extremely frivolous.
Thinking that the negotiating ticket was in his hands, he complained wildly about the other party, but when the other party decided to withdraw, he immediately persuaded...
Serenity's temperament immediately attracted ridicule...
And the faces of the brothers and sisters are presented one after another:
Daughter Sif grabbed her father and started asking for a position for her husband, at least a global director...
To get a share of the pie for your husband is to add a piece of food to yourself!
The youngest son, Roman, added to his anger and whispered bad things about the second brother to his father.
The stepmother was not idle either, she quietly took down the documents of inheritance of the family property and instructed the servant to put it in the office...
He turned his face and smiled to greet these unrelated children.
From the children to the wife, everyone around Logan is like a family on the surface, but they are coveted in the heart!
They all carried the manners and restraint of a big family face…
But he also showed primitive desire for interests, and his split personality made onlookers unable to help but show a subtle smile.
The world of rich people, in addition to money, is also a group of mortals!
Hegemony is fading, like a edifice
Just like the lion king in the animal world where the males dominate...
The person in power has difficulty accepting the reality of being replaced, and he is still irritated when he sees a magazine promoting him to replace him.
His heart is still arrogant and arrogant...
But the body is no match for natural decay, and it is difficult to go to the toilet!
His control over the family and industry is domineering and rigorous:
Convince the children to accept the rights of the stepmother, remain noncommittal about the son-in-law's appointment, and lead the children into the succession battle...
More fierce than [King Lear]'s competition, Logan sat and watched the whole family fight like beasts!
This [Inheritance] actually alludes to the real big family in America...
The United States once had such an industrial tycoon:
Controlling CBS, also owns MTV network, Paramount Pictures and Simon & Schuster Press.
He sits firmly on the top 100 richest people in the United States, and personally fired Tom's squid...
He is the well-known media mogul Sumner Redstone .
His personal net worth reportedly topped $6 billion.
Even in the divorce lawsuit with his ex-wife, he paid his ex-wife $3 billion in alimony in exchange for his freedom...
When he turned around, he married a new wife who was 37 years younger than him.
And HBO's [Inheritance] is based on the Redstone family.
There are not only the extravagance of the top family beyond the imagination, but also the ugly black material with vivid details...
Inspector, I'm all worried that the writer will be taken to court by the Redstone family.
HBO didn't make it a rip-roaring Drama, and it didn't make it as rigid and boring as a biopic.
There is such a scene in the play, when the whole family goes out to play baseball, the youngest son Romana comes to the passerby to make a bet:
If he hits a home run, send him a million check!
In the end, the child almost didn't finish the contest with the adults.
Roman came to him with a smile on his face, shredded the check, and gave a piece of scum to the child as a consolation prize...
As a parent, Logan did not stop his son's behavior. Instead, he picked up the famous watch given to him by his son-in-law and stuffed it into the boy...
This scene definitely ignited the anger of everyone's "hatred of the rich".
The plot borrowed the attitude of being rich and not benevolent, and came to an irony:
Ordinary people put their famous watches aside and live a warm life.
And Logan fell into a coma with a cerebrovascular disease after arranging the family battle of his children, and was no longer able to toss...
Is having money a good thing?
In my opinion, it is definitely a good thing for the detective!
But it is definitely difficult to have so much money, whether it is through labor income or inheritance...
If you want more, you will inevitably have to fight unexpected chips.
