Succession Season 4 — Spoilers Included

[Cosmo]

Kendall and Shiv are already super wary of Roman...they sense a snake in the grash and it seems like they're probably right. Roman has spent his entire life yearning for acceptance from his father. Logan knows it and is playing that card now. That's my read at least.

"Terrifyingly moseying" is something I need to add to my vernacular.

I am thinking/hoping that the repetitiveness of the elements (pierce, board meetings, sandy and stewie, logan peeling off roman) will get washing away by an entirely new thing—logan dying. And all these mechanic are about scuttling the deal to set up that and get the kids at odds with each other. Because the end game of Succession has to be about who succeeds Logan, and they need an intact company to fight over.

I agree with this, Logan isn't going to make it through the season. I think he's gone by episode five, leaving the back end of the season as a battle royale between the kids. Poor Tom is just going to be a non-factor at that point, since he's tied his lot to the old man.

Guesses on how Logan dies? Heartattack? Falls off the boat and drowns on the way to Mattson's? Or -- hear me out -- a wild, weird cross promotion between Succession and the Last of Us where Logan gets taken down by a clicker in the subway.

I feel like I have worked for the Roy family. Toward the end, when all that was left of the empire was the original, rapidly failing property.

My old boss is very wealthy - not as wealthy as Logan Roy is portrayed to be and he only had one child so there would be none of this kind of battle royale between the kids - but man do I see a lot of him in Logan. (And not just because he liked to tell people like me to fork off all the time.)

Three kids in mine. The oldest son who flew the coop for a life overseas decades before the selloff. The brilliant middle child who unflinchingly supported the journalism effort but for some reason was in the vice president role. And the youngest son, who was Kendall-like with ideas flowing like diarrhea. His good ones got buried behind the self-serving ones. He was the president of the company when the big G came calling but no doubt the family -- which had sold off or started redeveloping all the real estate in the 10 years prior -- was eager to get some money out of their legacy.

A bunch of you now are "ahhh, I know this place."

Welp.

 

[Dyno]

Great episode. Wow.

 

[Justin_Rice]

So who comes out ahead when this is all sorted?

One person I'm sure who is forked is Logan's ashistant/girlfriend/whatever. Unless we're about to learn about a secret will, she's about to be cut right the fork out by all parties.

Very intense episode IMHO. Great individual scenes with each saying goodbye (except Connor). The minimalistic wedding ceremony was perfect given where those two have been and gone. Pretty rough when Shiv said "I wish/thought it was Mom".

 

[garrow]

Great score too.

 

[Deskgrunt50]

Great episode. Got spoiled for me, unfortunately. Couldn't watch live.

My fault. Absent-mindedly opened Twitter. The Mets radio announcer of all people forked it up for me.

Despite knowing, great acting performances. I missed out on the doubt and tension tho.

I knew Logan was going to go, it was just a matter of when. It was clear by going through the first three seasons that there was no way the kids were outsmarting him or forcing him out. Any "succession" would only happen upon his death. I loved that they didn't actually show him dying. His last words were typical Logan bluster boarding the plane, and then, poof, he's gone. Well done.

Just tremendous acting by everyone involved in the last episode. Greg can't get out of his own way. Pretty sure it was him who inadvertently leaked the word to the press that Logan had pashed. Kieran Culkin has been awesome this season.

In retrospect I wonder if they slow played the first two purposefully to make the impact of this one even more sudden.

Kind of the way these things happen in life. Maybe I'm over thinking that. But it was an almost perfectly executed episode in terms of how hard a sudden death hits
