Mountainhead (dir. Jesse Armstrong).
HBO's single-location satire of the wealthy from the creator and producers of Succession feels very much like a contained bottle episode of their previous series, only set in an opulent Park City, Utah ski mansion, and choreographed like a stage play. Framed as a chamber piece about four powerful tech bro billionaires (played by Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, Cory Michael Smith, and Ramy Youssef) planning the world's new social order when global financial markets start to collapse, it's a rapid-fire aburdist character drama.
