What Succession got right was having all those appalling, morally bankrupt people being vile to other appalling, morally bankrupt people. There are no protagonists in Succession.
And almost every part having some agency (even some of the minor ones) and not just there to fill the background, as well as being played by an excellent actor. It will be hard for Jesse Bain to follow that.

if you were to rank the 3 in order @Wendoverman? (i've seen succession but am deciding which of the other 2 to watch next)
Severance if you want to go ‘what…oh!’ a few times every episode.
Slow Horses if you want to see Gary Oldman having the time of his life and referring to a gambling addict and a drug addict as scratch and sniff.
I have been recommended Severance from my go to TV guy at work he’s a little like Mark Kermode but bald and have just started.
Succession tops for me simply because of the quality across the whole cast and production.
Slow Horses for Oldman's bravura performance that you can almost smell.
Severance very good start but I need to see where it goes.
Other opinions are available.
I've never watched Billions...any views?
