There are multiple points where you just stop reading, roll your eyes, and say out loud to no one in particular, “Yes, I too like 80s pop culture....

A follow-up toGuy Ritchie’s 2011 sequelSherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadowshas been in the works ever since that film grossed $545 million worldwide, but not only is matching up the schedules ofRobert Downey Jr.,Jude Law, and Ritchie incredibly tricky, but all involved wanted to ensure they had a story worth telling for the follow-up....

In the Year of Our Lord 2019, one wouldn’t necessarily think a TV show about a rich, white, dynastic family navigating the trials and tribulations of corporate takeovers would be necessarily appealing. But that’s the trick ofSuccession. You shouldn’treallycare about the show’s central family. Not only are they entitled, but they’re also largely morally bankrupt. And yet, creator/showrunnerJesse Armstrongmanages to make the despicable delicious. We’re not only invested in the conglomerate rat race at the center of the series, we’re tickled by it....
