A media dynasty gets a savage take
A RICH AND POWERFUL ELDERLY patriarch must name an heir to his vast media empire. He has plenty of grownup children to choose from, but none of them seem truly capable of furthering his legacy.

It’s a tale as old as time—or at least, as old as King Lear—and television can’t stop retelling it.
