The acclaimed HBO TV series Succession immersed viewers in the world of the Roys, a family fighting for control of their elderly father’s media empire. Art imitates life, and as the series – which was partly, at times largely, based on the Murdochs – winds down, we examine what the hit show tells us about the dangers of corporate media.
