C-SUITES being addicted to a TV show? It may be hard to imagine, but not when the series in question is Succession, one of the hottest shows on HBO that everyone in the corporate world can’t seem to get enough of. Financial podcasts and news sites from Slate Money to Forbes and the New York Times offer blow-by-blow recaps of episodes and even style publications like GQ dissect the wardrobes the characters in this drama about the rise and fall of a media conglomerate.

Viewers watch with bated breath as various characters jockey for power in a storyline that’s inspired by powerful American families such as the Murdochs and Redstones, and lap up its realistic portrayal of business wheeling and dealing. In Friday’s issue of BTLifestyle, we take a closeup look at how art imitates life – or is it vice versa?

Meanwhile, if you’re planning to renovate your home, get some tips from comedian and serial entrepreneur Kelvin Tan, whose own bad experience with contractors led him to start his own interior design business. And if you’re looking to furnish your dream home, get some ideas from the recently concluded Salone Del Mobile, which saw luxury fashion brands launching their own furniture lines.

In the Arts, check out the works of art superstar Rirkrit Tiravanija, who teams up with acclaimed curator Hans Ulrich Obrist for his new show at STPI. And in Dining, nibble on fuss-free charcoal-grilled bites and oden at casual izakaya Hearth. For all this and more, get your issue of BT this Friday.
