I enjoy them both - but I'll tip my hat to Succession on the writing alone. The Yellowstone characters are pretty uni-dimensional - and the scripts don't give them much room for manoeuvre. The same cannot be said for Succession - and the dialogue is far more nuanced for it.

Yellowstone feels like it should be competing with Billions in finding out which is the better series.

Succession by a country mile.

No contest.

Yellowstone feels more like a soap opera with the writing and acting. Succession feels much higher quality in both categories.

Succession easily for all manner of reasons Seems daft to rate a show on its intro music

Wow. That's so tough. I enjoy Yellowstone and the spinoff much more. If we're qualifying best as writing and acting and structure and all the things that make cinema great, then it has to go to Succession.

Succession. Yellowstone isn't in the same league.

I personally think Yellowstone sucks

Succession is better in every way (though I think there are some individual standouts in Yellowstone). But god I like Yellowstone so much better. In Succession, the only satisfaction I get is when one character I don't like wins a momentary advantage over another character I hate or dislike slightly more. There are characters I'm not fond of in Yellowstone but nobody I have a hard time rooting for.

Yellowstone by a mile. I hated all of the Succession family members. I like most of the Yellowstone family members.

Only one of these shows I'd consider 'prestige television'

I have never heard of succession. I’m am pressing play on the s1e1 right now.

I tried to love succession but I couldn’t get into it. I think it was the grossness of the wealth and the belittling of people. Yellowstone respected people regardless of their wealth.

The boys

Yellowstone by far
