When it comes to television shows, I am often late to the party. I watched my first ever episode of The Office in May of 2020 during the coronavirus quarantine, seven years after the show's finale aired. It was a similar story for me and The Sopranos, which I watched in 2018 and thus 11 years after that iconic last episode. I did a bit better, though, with Succession, the HBO series about the fictional Roy family who owns the media conglomerate Waystar Royco that was recently renewed for a fourth season. At the urging of a couple of friends who insisted that my work in news media necessitated my tuning in (and would perhaps also catalyze a review), I deviated from my typical resistance to the current and watched.
