Utódlás - Série 3

I anticipated a well-crafted spectacle with that familiar, somewhat depressing atmosphere that tends to leave me feeling a bit repulsed, if not downright disgusted. And let me tell you, that's precisely what I got. Sure, halfway through the season, I found myself grumbling about a few shortcomings in the atmosphere. However, the last three episodes shut me up. Yes, even the third return to the Roy family was thoroughly enjoyable. It's quite the mystery to me how a series filled with not a single remotely positive character manages to captivate me so completely. / Lesson learned: If you've got a weak stomach, take some motion sickness pills before watching.

The third season lacks the originality of the first and the intense drive of the second. The middle feels a bit inconsistent to the point of being muddled, and some of the family etudes are not as interesting or entertaining as the usual corporate chessboard brawl. While the finale hits it again at level 100, and Tuscany, not to mention Lake Como, are a nice twist to the mostly New York backdrop of iron and concrete, the high point of the series so far has been elsewhere. Still, it's top production quality and a brilliantly layered series with an uncompromising appeal to the superiority and power of the rich. (2024.04.15)
