Succession’s final season is more of the same devils you know.
has always been a story about people doing everything in their power to attack and dethrone the only god they truly worship and crave validation from — a very wealthy, very human man who, rather understandably, thinks of everyone he meets as morons.has spent three seasons reminding us that, no matter how many times Logan Roy’s would-be successors try to maneuver him into a tight spot, he simply can’t be beaten — an idea reinforced by its repetition throughout the series.
As always, Siobhan is as sensible as she is shrewd about playing the game to get what she wants while outwardly appearing to cause as little damage as possible. For all of his performative dirtbaggery and penchant for popping up where no one expects him, Roman knows that he’s safest when everyone assumes that he’s thinking about “them” as a unit rather than only looking out for himself.
With Shiv’s craven leech of a husband Tom Wambsgans being the reason the Roy sibling’s last ploy to overthrow their father failed, there isn’t really anyone else but her brothers in her corner, and the same is true for both Roman and Kendall. Whatever tenuous and twisted sort of affinity that Waystar RoyCo’s recent temporary CEO Gerri Kellman felt for Roman is seemingly dead, and Kendall’s past has effectively made him a persona non grata in the eyes of his peers.
But even in their present predicament — with it looking very much like Logan plans to sell to GoJo’s Lukas Matsson — the Roys siblings can’t help but second guess one another, andcan’t help but revel in the quippy, biting tragicomedy of it all, despite it often just feeling like more of the same.
Genuinely funny, stinging moments like when cousin Greg takes Logan up on a demand to be roasted by pointedly asking him why, in a moment of need, his children are nowhere to be found, do stand out and speak to how these characters have become sharper over the years. But those moments are rare, and save for a few bright spots,’s comfortable leaving Greg and Tom to bumble along together as cartoonish jesters signifying that this is all meant to make you laugh at some point.
