I'm always skeptical of these kinds of attempts, they so often come off as memes.

Almost every Hollywood attempt at a serious look at tech / tech executives I see has been a hilarious caricature, like my mom explaining bad things about tech. And then they go right back to posting on social media.

I find that these types of shows serve as a cathartic way of living vicariously without actually causing it to happen in the real world. The billionaire class is getting a lot of hate nowadays. Let off some steam by watching fake billionaires get some fake comupence while the real billionaires get off Scott free.

I saw the trailer for this show and had high hopes, but it's simplistic and tedious.

It doesn't feel like the writers (or actors, since the dialogue seems improvised) have intimate knowledge of the world they satirize.

It's a movie about how much the writer hates tech oligarchs, rather than a revealing satire of tech oligarchs.

Watching Succession, I always thought that the people behind it didn’t really grok tech, especially when they have their traditional media corporation execs say lines like “we can’t let tech win.” Just referring to the whole of the other industry as “tech,” like it’s an ineffable monolith and not like full of individual companies yours can interact with in different ways. It also had similar issues with its depiction of Washington politics, too.

That said, the bits with Vaulter were mesmerizing.

I thought this film was pretty good. The writer seems to understand the subculture and the performances brought out a lot of hilarity in the script. It brings some important questions into focus - the sheer scale of the social impact of “product rollouts”, the transactional vs philosophical motivations of tech titans, the obsolescence of government.

Of course, it’s a satire, so take it seriously not literally.
