Succession

The third to last episode of Succession is in the books and well, it was explosive. Literally. Succession S4E8 saw the Roy siblings (plus Tom) turn on one another in dramatic fashion on election night, with the stakes as high as they could possibly get. We’re about to get into heavy spoiler territory so if […] More

I really don’t want Succession to go. I totally admire Jesse Armstrong’s desire to go out on top, tell the story he wants to tell and be done, but I already want more. “Tailgate Party,” the seventh episode in the series’ final season, was both an indicator that the story is concluding as well as […] More

We’re in the home stretch for Succession now. “Living+” was the sixth episode of the final season, meaning we now just have four more episodes with the Roy siblings, Cousin Greg, Tom and even Carl, who really wants his golden parachute. If you haven’t seen Succession S4E6, we’re about to get into heavy spoiler territory […] More

We are now officially halfway through the final season of Succession. Despite the fact that most of us have pre-grieved, it stings all the same. “Kill List” marks the halfway point and continues the Succession tradition of at least one episode a year taking place somewhere in Europe. Norway was our destination this time and despite […] More

After last week’s emotional rollercoaster of an episode, what could Succession possibly do to us this week? Well, we would learn about pre-grieving, Roman Roy style of course.

Sometimes, the show strikes these raw […] More

There’s no other series in television’s long history that has weaved devastation and genuine, full bodied laughter the way that Succession has. They call it a dark comedy and I suppose that’s an accurate description, but it’s also an oversimplification. Jesse Armstrong and team have tapped into our deepest fears about the wealthiest people in […] More

The final chapter of one of television’s greatest achievements from the 21st century has begun. Succession S4E1, titled “The Munsters,” saw the kids unite, Logan discuss the afterlife, Shiv and Tom’s tortured marriage break our hearts one more time and well…don’t ask to smell Greg’s fingers. If you haven’t seen the season premiere of Succession’s […] More

The following article contains major spoilers for Succession S3E9, “All the Bells Say”, the finale of the third season. Proceed with caution. Some shows just know how to do finales right. Lost and Mad Men come to mind as shows that always knew how to stick the landing in the final episode of a season. In […] More
