Watching the demise and shift of cable and streaming entertainment makes for a meta-exercise when considering one of the greatest shows of this time was one built around a faux version of the Fox empire. Succession, HBO’s series about a self-absorbed clan of powerful billionaires, had the kind of cultural impact as the Golden Age of television, a heat associated with shows like The Sopranos or Breaking Bad. After a brief (perhaps mercifully so) four season run, Succession walked away with numerous awards (many for the acting of the unbelievable cast who seemed to outdo each other each episode) and the accolade of being popular water cooler talk, a show everyone had seen or was otherwise eager to.

The four seasons chronicled the self-centered reactions a group of siblings (and some of their spouses and distant relatives) had to the impending retirement of their billionaire patriarch. Logan Roy (Brian Cox) isn’t just the father of the “failing up” gaggle of self congratulatory dipshits, but is the father of modern America, shaping media, insurance, vacations, culture, and politics. As a stand-in for the real-life puppet master of a nation (and perhaps the world), an ever-ailing Logan is a gatekeeper for the next generation of world-shapers, pitting his unworthy children against each other for their shot at the crown. Equal parts insult-comedy and Shakespearean play, the members of the Roy family trip and fall through their attempt to usurp, trick, instigate coups, and succeed their father, all with the fake reasoning they give to themselves, each being shown to ultimately be as power hungry as the main that made them. It makes for dramatic fodder that pushes away puzzle box television watching in favor of lengthy discussions on symbolism that made for gorgeous essays on the symbolism of water, stunning acting choices that change vents, and finale reveals you can’t believe you didn’t see coming.

Succession was and remains a television monster by so expertly fusing writing, direction, cinematography, (sounds basic, I know) for the sort of alchemy that makes a series all things to many people. Now for collectors, cord cutters, or those afraid of streaming wars casualties, the complete series is available on Blu-ray.

For the first time ever, all 39 episodes of the series are available in one set, complete with special features superfans won’t be able to find by relying on a YouTube algorithm. Beyond clutching access to all episodes, viewers will have access to behind-the-scenes interviews with the cast and crew, extended character breakdowns, as well as “Inside the Episode” featurettes. The 12-disc set is mastered with high quality audio (I’ll let the buds at blu-ray.com break down the specs) and high quality 1080p resolution so nothing will be lost in your trip from streaming to physical media.

12 discs might make it too large to fit in your blazer pocket, but if you have room after removing your subway shoes like the rest of us normies, you could plop this boxset right into your capricious bag.Warner Bros.
