If you've been online much in the past few years, you're probably sick of hearing people say that Succession is one of the most well-written shows of all time, but Succession genuinely is one of the most well-written shows of all time. It takes the basic premise of Shakespeare'sKing Lear - an aging patriarch looking to hand down all he has to competing children - and updates it for the modern day.
In typically cynical Succession fashion, the show makes the case that the wealthy elites more or less decide who’ll win, and the idea of elections being democratic is all a bit of a ruse. Also, ATN, the network owned by Waystar RoyCo, has a role to play in declaring a winner on election night, and there are also personal stakes among the Roy siblings, given not all agree that far-right congressman Jeryd Mencken should win; such a thing might be good for the company, but bad for America.
It's a big reason why many of Kendall’s most memorable quotes seem to come in season 1, because while Kendall remains a prominent character in season 2, he spends much of the season reserved and less inclined to speak out and let his inflated ego loose. But he does manage to get one last insult to Roman out just before the car crash changes everything, though telling Roman he’s only in a good position because of nepotism is pretty rich, coming from Kendall.
Just like his father smiling when seeing Kendall defying him in season 2’s finale, Kendall is more impressed than annoyed that Greg thought to hold onto these documents, labeling him a “little Machiavellian f**k” on account of his cunning. It’s also one of numerous times the phrase “I see you” is used on the show, sometimes as a way of respect/recognition and sometimes to signify that one character understands where another’s coming from.
