Succession creator also made the best comedy series of all time - The Digital Fix

Image
British writer Jesse Armstrong is currently soaking up all of the awards and acclaim as the creator of HBO's Succession, which many already consider amongst the best TV series of all time. But it's far from Armstrong's only achievement. While Succession has won several Emmys for best drama series, one of the main things that fans love about it, is how funny it is. Therefore, it's not too surprising that Armstrong is behind more than one of the best comedy series of the 21st century. In the late 90s and early 2000s, Armstrong was a writer on several beloved children's TV series, including My Parents are Aliens, The Story of Tracy Beaker, and The Queen's Nose.

"The Wolf of Wall Street," starring Leonardo DiCaprio, is one of the greatest of all modern movies, and it runs three hours. Photograph from Moviestore Collection Ltd / Alamy Cultural Comment In Praise of the Long Movie In a year in which a three-hour-plus film, "Jeanne Dielman, ​​23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles," was named the best film of all time in the decennial Sight and Sound poll, and another three-hour movie, "Avatar: The Way of Water," became the third-biggest box-office hit ever, it's hard to imagine that anyone in the art or the business of movies is put off by long running times.
