Money, War and the “Murdochs”: ‘Succession’ Season 1 Review (2/2)

A SUPER EDITOR’S CHOICE ♥️♠️♦️♣️ Succession is originally inspired by the Murdoch family, but the truth is the series is more than about the Murdochs, there’s full of secrets about the top rich elites more than just one zillionaire family.
