Yes, but it never radically departs from the established premise. The relationship between Russell and Rhys gets much more intense, though--that's ultimately the draw.

My drama "honorable mentions" would include Mad Men and Breaking Bad, but I've never really had an itch to revisit them (unlike some of the other shows). Succession could make a future top-five list depending on how it develops.

Maybe it's not your speed but I think it's, without exaggeration, the best, most complex on-screen romantic relationship of the "prestige TV" era. All the stuff about trying to destroy America becomes a delightful window-dressing.
