Succession Season 4 Thread

[staylor26]

No thread for the final season of the best show still running?

First episode was fantastic. I have zero doubt this is going out with a bang.

[the steam]

I watched the 1st season and a few episodes of season 2 then just gave up on it. Who do you possibly root for? The old man's schtick is grumbling, complaining then telling someone to **** off. Roman is a immature disgusting sexual deviant. The girl is a extra pasty, double chinned, entitled ingrate. Kendall is a walking, talking vagina. Tom is a POS, kissing asses of people above him and bullies people below him. I guess it would be OK to root for Greg. Based on what I have read on this board though I think I'm going to give this series another go.

If you need a flag wearing hero this ain’t it. The magic of the show is making these wholly unrelatable characters compelling.

I’m rooting for these objectively terrible people to all fail miserably.

I'm interested to see how Kendall comes out of this. He's always been so fragile but that was always because his father took any opportunity to crush him. Then he'd fall apart and lash out in the worst way.

Best thing on television right now. If you aren't or haven't been watching idk what you're doing with your life.

Episode 3 was ****ing beautiful and if you aren't paying attention - in a way it's a call back to how this show originally started.

[WhawhaWhat]

The script for episode 4 was so great.

Spoiler!

Of course Kendall ****s the deal between the kids immediately and makes a move behind Roman's back. I thought Roman showed a lot of potential in this episode and I didn't miss him using Logan's "**** off" towards Frank.

I suppose it will be Shiv's turn next week to turn on the others and Roman will just sit in waiting and let both Kendall and Shiv go down in flames.

So did Carrie

Spoiler!

have something to do with poisoning him or something? Seems like maybe there is something fishy going on there.

[BigBeauford]

Another banger. Tonight was Carl's night.

I don’t think so. I think it just set in that she has nothing. At all.

[Buehler445]

****ing great episode.

Everything was on point.

Except maybe

Spoiler!

if the guys are acting in good faith, Shiv is a well compensated consultant that is in every decision. But that wouldn’t set fire to the world so that won’t fit the show.

Spoiler!

I think it is on point and shows an interesting growth curve for Kendall to do what Logan would do. Damn the torpedoes.

I’ve listened to a few podcasts about Succession and all of them are underselling Kendall’s business acumen. He’s the only one of the kids that understands the mechanics of the board and corporate finance. He’s unstable and insecure. But he is the most competent one from a technical perspective.

The criminal part is they would be good if they worked together. Kendall understands the business, Roman is good at understanding people and nuance and Shiv is good at leveling everyone out and she is good on the PR side. But that doesn’t make good TV.

[staylor26]

Another phenomenal episode.

Just give this show all the awards.

[blake5676]

It's literally been perfect thus far. Can't wait to see what the second half brings.

Kendall has all the talent like you said but he just always collapses in on himself.

Spoiler!

I also don't think he's going with the "Shit on Logan" plan because it's best for the company. He's just doing it out of spite. That's why he's going behind the back of Roman and Karolina to put it in motion.

Spoiler!

I think he's bypassing Roman, because Roman threw a fit about it. Since that dudes daughter ****ed him with a strap on (selling the shares), he can do this with deniability and maintain his relationship with Roman. I mean that's what he's hoping. Obviously it won't work.

Pure speculation here, but I think he's going to try to leverage that into a play to shitcan the "old guard" since he can say it wasn't me, must be them. They were with him on the plane. And he was really the only one saying it was us or them.

Whatever happens, it made the proceedings more interesting.

[Buehler445]

No spoilers, it's a year old, but I think it's a pretty good video. Might be obvious for the non-hayseed rubes like yours truly, but worth a watch IMO.
