'Brian, do you see yourself as rich?' It's clear from the start that this series isn't going to be an easy ride for celebrated actor Brian Cox, star of the hit TV show Succession. This episode opens in Miami - playground of the rich, where Brian is meeting two women whose lives have been upended by the recent property boom. Senada, who used to work for Donald Trump, makes millions on every luxury house she sells, while Elsa is being evicted to make way for luxury condos. Brian is trying to come to grips with how the growing wealth gap is polarising us. And for him it is a personal journey.

Brian Cox turns his lens on his adopted country, America. He wants to find out whether the American dream - that anyone can make it big if they work hard enough - is a myth or a reality. In Miami Brian meets Caroline, a highly successful 'influencer', who is posing for a photo shoot. Caroline is not just living the American dream - she's selling it. Brian worries that she may be promoting a fantasy that is out of reach for most Americans. Brian tells us how he came to America believing in it as the land of opportunity, but now he's not so sure. He is incensed to discover the difference in pay between typical CEOs in America and their workers, and meets labour activist, Chris Smalls, who has spearheaded a campaign to start a union at an Amazon warehouse on Staten Island, NY. Brian's blunt questioning and passionate anger expose a world in which the richest one percent own half of the world's wealth.
