As we bid them goodbye, we lose one of the few remaining water-cooler shows, the kind that turns Sunday-night Twitter into a treacherous terrain of spoilers and Monday-morning Instagram into a delightful parade of memes. Whether or not all our [questions are answered](https://time.com/6282246/succession-series-finale-questions/), whether it’s [Kendall](https://time.com/6281255/succession-season-4-episode-9-recap/) or [Tom](https://time.com/6264658/succession-tom-wambsgans-season-4/) or heck, [even Greg](https://time.com/6281792/greg-succession-finale-theory/) who succeeds [Logan Roy](https://time.com/tag/succession/#:~:text=Let%27s%20Talk%20About,April%209%2C%202023), it won’t be long until we’ll be looking to fill the daddy issue-shaped hole in our Sunday night streaming diets. We’ll always have [the Roys](https://time.com/6272702/roman-succession-season-4/) (or, with all the [madness](https://time.com/6253697/streaming-wars-disney-chaos-era/) that has been Warner Bros. Discovery’s rebranding of its [streaming platform](https://time.com/6240853/hbo-max-shows-leaving/), [will we?)](https://www.npr.org/2023/03/17/1164146728/why-are-dozens-of-tv-shows-disappearing-from-streaming-platforms-like-hbo-max), but here are some other families, workplaces, and corporate empires to spend your time with next. Some will scratch the _Succession_ itch while others offer soothing counter-programming. So grab your can of lemon La Croix and get watching. ## _Mad Men_  From Left: Jon Hamm as Don Draper and Elisabeth Moss as Peggy Olson in Mad Men season 7B. Frank Ockenfels 3—AMC They may not be blood-related, but the power dynamics at play between ad agency creative director Don Draper (Jon Hamm) and his secretary-turned-protégé Peggy Olson (Elisabeth Moss) are just as thorny and heart-wrenching as the bonds between any of the Roys. A prestige workplace drama with a healthy dose of familial friction, _Mad Men_ is the 1960s New York period foil of _Succession_. Parallels between the two shows abound—see the tragically embarrassing spectacles of both Don and Kendall’s 40th birthday parties, for one. [Watch on Prime Video](https://www.amazon.com/Smoke-Gets-in-Your-Eyes/dp/B001A5HBAG/ref=sr%5F1%5F1?keywords=mad+men&qid=1684988497&sr=8-1) ## _Better Call Saul_  Michele K. Short—AMC/Everett Collection Strife between two brothers who love each other but can’t reconcile wildly different outlooks on how the world should work sets in motion the events of [_Better Call Saul_](https://time.com/6206367/better-call-saul-finale-review/)—a plotline that should sound familiar to anyone who just watched [_Succession_‘s penultimate episode](https://time.com/6281255/succession-season-4-episode-9-recap/). The _Breaking Bad_ prequel series (best viewed after completing its predecessor, though it’s not necessary) traces the steady devolution of down-on-his-luck lawyer Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) into morally bankrupt con man Saul Goodman. The AMC drama is a study in the terrible lengths that people will go to for money and power—and what happens to those they betray along the way. [Watch it on Netflix](https://www.netflix.com/title/80021955) ## _La Casa De Las Flores_  LA CASA DE LAS FLORES PELICULA (L to R) JOSE MARQUEZ as PAULINA RUBIO and MARIANA SANTOS as GLORIA TREVI and AISLINN DERBEZ as ELENA and ISMAEL RODRIGUEZ as AMANDA MIGUEL and KATIA BALMORI as YURI in LA CASA DE LAS FLORES PELICULA. Cr. NETFLIX © 2021 NETFLIX—© 2021 Netflix, Inc. If you are looking for another show about dysfunctional families, we can’t recommend [_La Casa De Las Flores_ ](https://time.com/6075019/the-house-of-flowers-telenovela/)enough. The Netflix show revolves around a wealthy family in Mexico that has built a sprawling empire out of their flower business. An event in the first episode sends their life into a downward spiral, and throughout three seasons, one special, and a movie, viewers watch as family members try to keep their lives from spinning out of control. (The optimal viewing order is the first season, the funeral special, the second and third seasons, then the movie). [Watch it on Netflix](https://www.netflix.com/watch/80160763) ## _Shameless_ _Shameless_ is one of the most stressful shows available to watch on Netflix, but it’s also a fun one from start to finish—interspersed with heartfelt moments and phenomenal acting throughout from William H. Macy, Emmy Rossum, Cameron Monaghan, and Jeremy Allen White (yes, from _The Bear_). The show follows the children of the Gallagher family in Southside Chicago as they navigate all of life’s trials and tribulations in addition to their drunken mess of a father, Frank (Macy). Eldest daughter Fiona (Rossum) bears the brunt of responsibility in keeping the family in check. [Watch it on Netflix](https://www.netflix.com/title/70184207) ## _Search Party_  Search Party Macall Polay—Turner Entertainment/Time Warner _Succession_ is about white privilege to the nth degree—mostly in Manhattan (and the Hamptons, and other locales reachable by helicopter). But if you happen to be looking for a satirical dramedy centered around white privilege in Brooklyn, then _Search Party_ is the show for you. It follows Dory (Alia Shawkat), a 20-something living in New York City who realizes her life is at a standstill. She seeks meaning by joining the search party for a woman she barely knew from college who’s gone missing. She drags her boyfriend Drew (John Paul Reynolds), and friends Elliot (John Early), and Portia (Meredith Hagner) into her mess as her life, and the series, devolves into chaos. [Watch it on Max](https://www.max.com/shows/c2aca4c8-c974-4f16-8d4b-79355991cb1b) ## _Industry_  Harper's fate hangs in the balance after the finale of Industry Season 2 Nick Strasburg—Courtesy of HBO [_Industry_](https://time.com/5908293/industry-hbo-review/) has a similar volume of backstabbing, lies, and deceit as _Succession_, if not more. Instead of following a family media dynasty, the series is based on the lives of interns working at an investment bank in London. Harper (Myha’la Herrold), the story’s protagonist (or antagonist, depending on how you look at it) will do anything to prove her place. Her hunger to succeed is on full display throughout the first season, which follows the main characters through the days leading up to a RIF (reduction in force). The second season reveals who made it through, and how all of the characters are handling their fates. [Watch it on Max](https://www.max.com/shows/9e51c88c-7a28-40ee-8269-e16572e02a07) ## _Veep_  HBO _Succession_ creator Jesse Armstrong wrote an episode of this political comedy starring [Julia Louis-Dreyfus](https://time.com/5540861/julia-louis-dreyfus-interview/) with longtime collaborator and _Veep_ creator Armadno Iannucci. Just as _Succession_ skewers the business world, _Veep_ takes aim at the absurdity of politics. It’s more comedy than drama—think of what the White House would look like if everyone working there was as incompetent and awkward as Greg. [Watch it on Max](https://www.max.com/shows/37cb4217-c710-4166-8e9f-352a61f2cd3a) ## _The Thick of It_ Another Iannucci-Armstrong collaboration (along with Simon Blackwell and Tony Roche), this political satire (and its award-winning follow-up film _In the Loop_) centers, like _Succession_, on the idea that a few fools in a room can change the course of history. Zanier than the rather depressing [election episode of _Succession_](https://time.com/6279599/succession-season-4-episode-8-recap/), but equally as biting, the British series _The Thick of It_ laid the groundwork for _Veep_ and, eventually, _Succession_. [Watch with Britbox on Prime Video](https://www.amazon.com/Thick-Season-1/dp/B007WPMBYE) ## _Yellowstone_  Kevin Costner as John Dutton in Yellowstone. Courtesy Paramount Network Here we have another saga about a rich and powerful family, just placed in a radically different setting: the American West. Currently [the most popular show on TV](https://time.com/6229017/yellowstone-red-state-fandom/), it stars Kevin Costner as the head of the Dutton family and head honcho of their lucrative cattle ranch. Instead of the Roys battling each other in board rooms, the Duttons wrangle over the family fortune while on horseback. [Watch it on Peacock](https://www.peacocktv.com/dr/yellowstone?cid=2301opylwstpkpdsearch12716&utm%5Fcampaign=2301opylwst&utm%5Fsource=pk%5Fggl%5Fgglsa&utm%5Fmedium=pd%5Fsearch%5Fbr%5Fsrcpy&utm%5Fterm=121264&utm%5Fcontent=121264%5F121264&gclid=CjwKCAjw67ajBhAVEiwA2g%5FjEHJP-lU4Mbfosazy1Jj-s4x1hA5CIqHWqI415kXs0hO4xVCiQIWClxoCteQQAvD%5FBwE&gclsrc=aw.ds) ## _Empire_  Taraji P. Henson plays Cookie on Empire. Chuck Hodes An ailing patriarch must decide which of his three very different children, all disappointing in their own way, to entrust with the world-famous business he’s spent his life building. Sound familiar? Well, before it was the premise of _Succession_, this contemporary approximation of _King Lear_ was the premise of this hip-hop soap from Lee Daniels and Danny Strong. A massive hit upon its debut in 2015, _Empire_ fizzled out pretty early in its run. But the first season is pure sudsy, addictive pleasure, and Taraji P. Henson’s performance as the tough-as-nails queen to Terrence Howard’s king alone is worth the price of admission. [Watch it on Starz](https://www.starz.com/us/en/movies/empire-45247?gclsrc=aw.ds&&referrer=mat%5Fclick%5Fid%3Dd00bb64a932d4289a7dec35114849a55-20230525-161028%26link%5Fclick%5Fid%3D1190139720183179745&mat%5Fclick%5Fid=d00bb64a932d4289a7dec35114849a55-20230525-161028) ## _The Dropout_  Amanda Seyfried as Elizabeth Holmes in The Dropout Beth Dubber—Hulu Conheads, take note: Alan Ruck has an extremely fun guest arc in Hulu’s dramatization of the rise and fall of Theranos, as perhaps the most endearing in a long line of older white men eager to buy a piece of the big nothing Elizabeth Holmes is selling. Best of all, he delivers _two_ stunning renditions of Katy Perry’s “Firework.” Ruck aside, from its dark humor and note-perfect performances to its business intrigue and wise insights into the rich and personality-disordered, _The Dropout_ should check a lot of boxes for those in _Succession_ withdrawal. [Watch it on Hulu](https://www.hulu.com/series/the-dropout-13988f84-f1c8-40dd-a73c-4e71ab4bbe63) ## _Parenthood_  Ray Romano as Hank Rizzoli, Mae Whitman as Amber Holt, Lauren Graham as Sarah Braverman Colleen Hayes—NBCU Photo Bank/NBC After watching four seasons of emotionally closed off family members fight to the finish, couldn’t we all use a hug? Enter: the Braverman family. Peter Krause, Lauren Graham, Dax Shepard, and Erika Christensen star as four close-knit adult siblings at the center of NBC’s Parenthood. The Bravermans are nothing like the Roys. They are constantly telling each other their most vulnerable feelings. They give each other parenting advice. They say things like “I love you” probably once an episode. Imagine if the Roy children treated each other with kindness? This could be that alternate history. (Beware: it gets very weepy). [Watch it on Hulu](https://www.hulu.com/series/511ca004-708b-40ee-b679-0db060694abc) ## _Arrested Development_  Arrested Development Only Season 4 first aired on Netflix, the first three seasons aired on Fox. Netflix Oh, you think the Roys are dysfunctional? The Bluths might just have them beat. After his real estate developer father (Jeffrey Tambor) is sent to prison, Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman) returns home to run his business and bring the family back together. He’s the straight man among his hilariously materialistic and vain siblings and mother—and often gets dragged into their ridiculous antics. Come for the downfall of a once very wealthy family, stay for the late Jessica Walter’s iconic performance as relentlessly narcissistic matriarch Lucille Bluth. [Watch it on Netflix](https://www.netflix.com/title/70140358) ## _I Hate Suzie_  Billie Piper in 'I Hate Suzie' Ollie Upton / Sky UK Co-created by Lucy Prebble, a writer and co-executive producer on _Succession_, _I Hate Suzie_ stars Billie Piper as a former teen pop star turned television actor whose life is ruined when her phone is hacked and her nudes are leaked. Like _Succession_, it’s a dark comedy about life in the public eye, though this one is much more focused on the trauma Suzie endures as she navigates what to do in the aftermath. [Watch it on Max](https://www.max.com/shows/a62c1808-c38a-4614-a1ed-cef8bf9a6adb) ## _Brothers and Sisters_ _Brothers and Sisters,_ the ABC drama from the late 2000s, is basically the soap opera version of _Succession_, if WayStar Royco were actually a winery in Ojai and Rob Lowe were playing Tom. There’s familial strife between adult siblings, power plays over money, and a consequential death of a complicated patriarch (though this happens in the pilot). Plus, Sally Field! This is _Succession_ for people with waning attention spans.
