'Succession' won the Emmy for Best Drama Series. This is why the theme song is so catchy.

The theme song for HBO’s “Succession” has made its way to the top of the list of TV-show intros that you can’t skip.

From its booming 808 bass to its out-of-tune piano, we break down the song to pinpoint exactly why this track gets stuck in our heads.
