Succession Season 4 — Spoilers Included

[JRoyal]

He's been great in the role, but I think his demise gave the show a shot in the arm. It was getting a little circular.

Yeah, I think it was well-timed. It was unexpected, esp. with how it was done off-screen, and it gave time to show the deepening of the fault lines between the siblings now that the end game had started. Everything else would've felt rushed if they had kept Logan Roy around much longer.

 

[Webster]

Everyone knew he was going to die before the show ended. Doing it so early in the season, especially with the past 6 episodes taking maybe 8 days total gave it a sense of urgency.

From the Nothing is Ever True Department:

HBO has 'no intention' of making 'Succession' spin-off show

 

[Azrael]

this is pretty good

The End of "Succession" Is the End of An Era in TV

 

[Webster]

Meh.

 

[Dyno]

I've gotta re-watch, but for now, I'm with Webster.

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

Obviously will be another season.

 

[garrow]

I found it solid.

 

[Webster]

I've gotta re-watch, but for now, I'm with Webster.

Honored to get your vote at the board meeting

The last episode worked for me. I feel like all the characters reached their proper conclusion. There's some inevitable emptiness in the answer to the question of which kid will succeed Logan being none of them. And with the "we're bullship" ashessment of the main characters. But it's not wrong.

 

[JimmyHoward33]

Yeah but Toms just as much bullship as they are.

it strains credibility that after the ship he pulled on election night, with hints dropped that Menkens losing in the courts, that any publically traded company could float him as ceo. Now that I've typed it all out its actually pretty stupid

 

[JRoyal]

I thought the physical stuff with Ken and Roman at the end was over the top, but other than that I liked it. In the real world, Tom would be a horrible choice. But they used him to show the idea of a weasel making it to the top by kissing ash, even when he's done shady stuff over and over. A bit of a conceit to make the point, but I think it's a forgivable conceit.
