Succession: The Complete Series... Reviewed!

I would like to thank, Warner Bros for sending this product. My opinions are my own.


Story: "Succession" is a masterclass in television drama. The show follows the lives of the Roy family, a wealthy and powerful media dynasty, as they navigate the ups and downs of their empire and personal relationships. 

From the very first episode, the show captures your attention with its quick-witted dialogue, complex characters, and expertly crafted plot. Each episode is filled with twists and turns, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats as the family dynamic changes and alliances are tested.

The themes of power, family, and loyalty are explored in great depth throughout the series, as we watch the members of the Roy family struggle to maintain their status and influence. The tone of the show is darkly comedic, highlighting the absurdities and hypocrisies of the ultra-wealthy, yet it never fails to leave a lingering sense of unease.

The acting is superb across the board, with standout performances from Brian Cox as patriarch Logan Roy, Jeremy Strong as his troubled son Kendall, and Sarah Snook as the ambitious and cunning Siobhan. The ensemble cast is truly exceptional, with each actor bringing depth and nuance to their respective roles.

While "Succession" may not be for everyone, those who appreciate intelligent and thought-provoking drama will find themselves drawn into this world and invested in the Roy family's journey. The show demands your attention and rewards it with stunning performances, complex characters, and a gripping storyline. Simply put, "Succession" is some of the best television out there today.

Although I enjoyed watching the drama, I realized that I wanted to consume positive and uplifting content afterward to balance things out.


Visuals: The direction and cinematography are equally impressive, with a keen eye for detail and framing that elevates the show's stunning production design. I have one critique, there should have been a Blu-ray option!


Although "Succession" effectively portrays the challenges of the industry, it seems that someone overlooked the fact that HD resolution should be the targeted quality for the release.


Audio: The score is haunting and moody, perfectly capturing the show's brooding atmosphere.

Succession: The Complete Series, features Dolby Digital English 5.1


Price + Extras: Succession: The Complete Series delivers 39 episodes, and over 2 hours of bonus content. Bonus content includes, Inside the Episode Featurettes, Character Recaps, Cast and Crew Interviews, and Much More. 

DVD | $89.99 SRP ($79.99 Canada). 

Runtime: 650 Minutes or 10 hours and 50 minutes

Rick And Morty: The Complete Seasons 1 - 6... Reviewed!

Shout out to WB for providing a copy of this product for review. My opinions are my own.

We've been here and done that when it comes to Rick & Morty Seasons 1 to 6, so this will be more of an article giving you access to previous reviews... while discussing what's available in this bundle + price.

Rick and Morty is an adult animated sci-fi sitcom that follows the adventures of an eccentric and alcoholic scientist named... Rick Sanchez and his kind yet gullible grandson Morty. The duo travels to different dimensions and planets, getting into all sorts of situations along the way. The show often explores themes of existentialism, family, and the consequences of scientific advancement.

The writing sends the story in various directions from episode to episode, but the storyline does progress... and growth can be seen in each character to an extent. Below you will find links to the review of all 6 seasons.


This 6 Blu-ray disc set comes with all 61 episodes, audio commentary, deleted scenes, "Inside the Episode" segments, numerous featurettes, animatic sketches, copious special features + more (that include a limited-time Rick and Morty poster).

When it comes to price, this bundle comes in at $129.99 SRP ($119.99 in Canada) for Blu-Ray & $114.99 SRP ($99.99 in Canada) for DVD. Of course, you can get the hook-up for much less, here!

I don't have a problem with the price, it comes with all the bonus material the team has cooked up over the years, but... I do have a problem with one thing. What's up with the poster?! You can't possibly go from the kickass poster from the Seasons 1 - 4 bundle to one of Mr. Frundles. I get it, I understand that maybe some people may get a kick out of it because of what it represents, but... no. It only shows his face in the corner, it could have shown something a bit more visually appealing or... give us a sticker of the fold that showcases his face. A sticker would've been a win in my opinion.

That's my only objection. If it were me, I would have maybe surrounded the family with Mr. Frundles in whatever scenario they'd prefer to do. I probably would have even made a Mr. Frundles picture frame and had the family in the picture, that would've made great use of the space, but I'm not a part of the team.
