At the midway point in its final season, Succession catches a flight and feelings
leaves the country, as it did in its first season to Scotland, its second to the Mediterranean, and in its third to Tuscany, things always become a little loose: Kendall kills a waiter, Kendall betrays his father, Kendall has a breakdown. In Season 4, Episode 5, “Kill List”, which takes place in Norway, we go the other way. After Logan’s death, and with the upcoming GoJo deal, everyone is on their best behaviour.
The main order of the day – apart from a pesky film with a troubled production – is once again, the GoJo acquisition: Kendall and co. have agreed to squeeze a few extra dollars per share out of Lukas Matsson . This deal is interminable, for the characters and audience alike, but handily enough, Matsson has called them all out to Norway for a little “cultural compatibility” test.
The company retreat is expertly depicted. The breakfast buffet, which Frank piles high ; the awkwardly casual corporate meetings; the Americans dressed in Ralph Lauren hunting gear. It’s excruciating, and a well-trodden concept for. What does feel fresh is Matsson: Skarsgard’s inscrutable self-assuredness has never been put to better use. He is smarmy, irresistible, happy to let silences hang.
The emotional outburst works as a negotiation tactic, too: while the Waystar crew are flying home, Matsson calls with a revised offer of $1.92 per share. The greys are overjoyed; the boys are a little defeated. Shiv, on Mattson’s request, takes a photo of them. And finally, Gerri has managed to acquire the kill list: on the “surplus” list are Hugo, Frank, Karl, a man called Ray, another man called Mark. Gerri and Karolina survive, and somehow, so does Tom. Ineptitude finds a way.
