I bet the succession writers are kicking themselves that they didn't write a bit where the whole thing only starts because they watched Citizen Kane.

It’s the chicken and the egg à la Goodfellas and Godfather. Do gangsters act the way they do because of the portrayals, or are the portrayals accurate

The Royals are much better at this. I think it helps that they have disinheriting the spare children, written into statute.

Nothing says 'fractious billionaire family' like running to Olswang's Mark Devereux for advice tbh

Thinking about that Vanity Fair article that said Mick Jagger's security team had to debug Jerry Hall's house to stop Murdoch and Fox spying on her post-divorce and that part of the settlement was that she couldn't feed any real life story lines to the Succession writers.

That article is one of the most extraordinary pieces of media journalism this century and contained more gold than two Michael Wolff books

If you don't know the fellow fractious Australian billionaire Rinehart fam, look up Gina and her relationships (sic) with her kids.
