I tend to find it difficult to watch a show where there isn’t a single likeable character, but if there were 10 angels on Succession, I’d still find this show hard to watch because Roman Roy is the single most annoying character I’ve ever seen or read. I’m all for sarcasm, but his quips just aren’t funny. Clearly the writers have no gift for comedy. They should hire a writer from Veep to write for Roman.
