Succession is back this week! It's one of the best shows on TV right now, and in anticipation of the third season, I made a video breaking down how the show uses subjectivity in its cinematography to craft a character of the camera that helps involve you in the drama of the show.

The video is free from major spoilers, so even if you haven't watched Succession yet, I think you might get something out of this, the show is a great example of how Film's visual language can be applied in a lot of unique and interesting ways.
