What critics compared Succession to
The camerawork has a human touch to it, with the kinds of shakes and zooms that you'd expect to see in an episode of Succession.
“A House of Dynamite” is missing some of the visual prowess of Bigelow’s prior films, evoking an episode of “Succession” more than anything else, down to the shaky cams and quick zooms.
Barry Ackroyd’s jittery handheld cinematography, while effective in making the film hyper-realistic, borders on being parodic due to the technique already being overused in comedies like The Office and Succession…
JEREMY STRONG, OF COURSE, OF SUCCESSION PLAYS HIS MANAGER.
The result is borderline Succession-esque in its level of absurdity, and D’Arcy, so reliably tormented, gets to show sides of the character that have never even been hinted at before.
Succession with dragons? Yes please.
Succession this is not.
Brosh McKenna borrows a bit of plot and scenery from Succession (i.e., all that conniving and dealmaking with Lukas Matsson [Alexander Skarsgård] in Lake Como)…
…the second most that year behind "Succession"…
…it will spread and provoke discussion, much like Game of Thrones, Succession, The Sopranos, and the other classic HBO shows…
Other shows produced by them include Game of Thrones, Chernobyl, True Detective,The Wire,Watchmen,Succession…
Mark Mylod of Succession fame (and seemingly HBO’s go-to pair of hands when it comes to an episode ticking down to a father’s death)…
The Succession and The Menu director has already signed on to run HBO’s Harry Potter adaptation, and “Through the Valley” shows why that is a wise decision.
Mark Mylod, a veteran of Game of Thrones, Succession, and many other series, directs this episode.

…my immediate thought was Roman Roy [Kieran Culkin] overlooking New York City from his office in the first season of Succession…
It’s the kind of conceit we have seen many times in recent years, whether through Mike White’s “The White Lotus,” Jesse Armstrong’s “Succession,” or Ruben Östlund’s “Triangle of Sadness.”
Compared to other stress-inducing shows of this ilk (Succession springs to mind), there is some catharsis in realising that things might actually work out for these characters.
Anyone familiar with Luis Buñuel – hell, anyone who has watched Succession or The White Lotus on HBO – already has a pretty good idea about what it has to say.

Think One Battle After Another or Succession.
…and America’s Succession-style twins Ursula (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Titus Danforth (Shawn Hatosy).
