Succession (2018)

The Roys own a global media empire and still behave like children fighting over the last cookie. Jesse Armstrong's HBO series is the gold standard because its jokes come from status itself: who gets the better seat, who is allowed to speak at the board meeting, who brings a ludicrously capacious bag to a party. Kendall, Shiv and Roman are funny and pitiful in the same breath, and the insults are some of the most quotable on television. It won the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series three times across its four seasons, but watch it as a comedy about inheritance that keeps turning cruel.
