#FALLEN HERO RETRIBUTION SUBTLE MANIPULATION SERIES#
They think they can do what they like and get away with it.” And the series writers show that these particular characters do, for the most part, get away with it and that their only retribution can come from other rich people and not, for example, through the laws that apply to the rest of us. It’s difficult to watch how these characters treat others and not say: “These rich people are so horrible. On Greg’s first day, Tom tells him in a calm sympathetic tone, “If you need any help, seriously, any help, any advice … just, you know … don’t f***ing bother.” And yet he still ends up the brunt of many insults as he struggles to fit in. We’ve already seen Tom crave the attention of the patriarch, Logan, to the point of being sycophantic. He meets Tom, who is also an outsider after marrying into the family.
But they reserve their true disdain for those outside the immediate family, in other words, those who are not super-rich.Ĭousin Greg arrives bright-eyed and eager, desperate to ingratiate himself into the business. The main characters – members of a family that owns a multinational media and entertainment empire – are horrible, selfish and self-absorbed.
Their basic message is straightforward and not subtle. The writers are there are expert at manipulating their audience. After seeing lots of hype in the media, I’ve been catching up with the HBO series Succession.
