You Have to See This: 3 Series of the Week for Any Mood

Still unsure about which series to watch? Then check out our selection for the evening. We have gathered a trio that once topped the ratings. They will keep you on the edge of your seat until the last minute.

“Succession”

This is one of the most talked-about dramas of the last decade, often referred to as a modern version of "King Lear" or "Hamlet," set in the world of big money and media corporations. The plot centers around the family of Logan Roy, a powerful and ruthless patriarch who runs one of the largest media conglomerates in the world — Waystar Royco. He is on the brink of death, and his children begin a battle for the position of CEO. The tragedy shows how big money destroys trust and love. The dialogues are filled with humor and irony regarding the lives of the wealthy.

“StartUp”

A combination of a financial thriller and a crime adventure into an engaging drama. The story unfolds in Miami. At the center are three people who agree to an unexpected partnership. Banker Nick (Adam Brody) finds himself in a difficult position after being drawn into illegal deals; Cuban-American hacker Izzy (Otmara Marrero) wants to change the future with a cryptocurrency idea; Haitian-American gang leader Ronald (Edi Gathegi) wishes to change for the sake of his family.

The series deeply explores how far a person can go in their lies and where the line is drawn between "good intentions" and real crime. This resonates with your interest in psychological thrillers.

“House of Lies”

A bold, cynical, and extremely dynamic comedy-drama from Showtime that looks behind the scenes of the world of top management and consulting. This film is about manipulation and big money. The main character, Marty Kaan (Don Cheadle), is an incredibly charismatic but utterly unscrupulous management consultant. He travels across the U.S. with his colleagues to solve problems for large corporations. Marty skillfully employs various methods to secure contracts: from subtle psychology and flattery to outright lies and dirty tricks — all to close a deal or "save" a client.

Throughout the series, Marty often addresses the audience to explain various complex business terms. Joining him in the series is Jeannie (Kristen Bell). You will enjoy the office intrigues and the personal life of Martin, who had a former drug-addict wife.
