Is anyone else on here watching Succession? It's fantastic - I've been waiting for HBO to do their long-mooted I,Claudius remake but this will do nicely, a sort of King Lear with a Murdoch-type media clan, Peep Show's Jesse Armstrong as showrunner and writers including Lucy Prebble on the scripts. It's on Sky/Now TV in the UK (available till early December). I'm currently 8 episodes in to series 1 so no spoilers please!

I got the DVD of series 1 because we don't have sky. I’m trying to work out how to watch series 2. Any suggestions gratefully received or shall I just wait for the DVD ?
Anyway, agreed, excellent tv, well up there with Sopranos [tho no gore] and other stuff but it won’t necessarily claim a top spot because those other series were much longer. Nice to see a couple of Brits showing ‘em how to act too. Not to mention as you say, crowblack, the Lucy Prebble input.

lynette the best bet is a 1 month subscription to NowTV for about £8. A lot of TV’s have the App and can easily be watched on a computer, there are offers of NowTV sticks with a months subscription included but most probably not worth it for a one off. I’m sure there are more questionable ways if you are happy to watch on a computer.

Yes, I did that for Game of Thrones but ended up keeping it because there are a lot of other things on there too (The Deuce is good though I haven't caught up on series 2 yet, and 3 is out any time now). A couple of months in I was sent a free little Roku box to watch through the TV and they may repeat that offer - I don't think either the computer or TV versions are in HD yet though. |

I got Now TV recently as I don't have SKY either and am very pleased with it.

I've just finished bingeing so I am now free to look up stuff without fear of spoilers. Btw, I noticed Lucy Kirkwood and Alice Birch's names in the credits too.

Succession is available on Now for the next three weeks, with 20 episodes in all. I don't know what offers are on at the moment but they sometimes do a free trial period, and you can always sign off again anyway (they don't tie you to a long contract). |

Some research around t'internet - it is on Amazon Prime so I bought it. O reckless moi. More expensive than your suggestion, Neil but I couldn’t get Nowtv on my tv cos it doesn’t have or can get that app being Panasonic ( tell me about it) and so I would have had to but a diddleboo. Couldn’t be bothered...
just to say it is a very good series.
