Drama

  1. Succession (Max): The filthy rich battling for a media empire. It is a tragedy disguised as a comedy. Zero likable characters, yet you cannot look away. "You are not serious people."
  2. Normal People (Hulu): Based on Sally Rooney’s novel. An intimate, raw look at a young Irish couple who can’t seem to get the timing right. Extremely emotional and beautiful.
  3. The Queen’s Gambit (Netflix): A coming-of-age story about an orphaned chess prodigy (Anya Taylor-Joy). You don’t need to know chess to be riveted by the Cold War aesthetics and addiction drama.
