“The Murdochs” is a messier “Succession”

Quoting what may be Russian literature’s most famous line is a little trite, I’ll admit. Since we’re talking about “Dynasty: The Murdochs,” I’m going to chance it anyway, because I doubt Leo Tolstoy could have conceived of the Murdochs when he wrote, “each unhappy family is unhappy in their own way,” any more than he could have mapped out the Roys’ arc on “Succession.”

Hell, most Old Testament patriarchs aren’t as demanding of loyalty and filial supplication as Rupert Murdoch, save for God himself.
