We loved the bittersweet final season of SUCCESSION! The following is an episodic breakdown with quotes from each contributor:
“SUCCESSION is back with a rollercoaster premiere episode that quickly reacquaints us with the (more distinct than ever) sides vying for control of the Waystar media empire“
– Tarush
” Because it’s the last season, we need to start asking ourselves where the show will place as far as the greatest shows of all time… If they can stick the landing by the end of this season. They’re off to a very good start.“
– Eli
“And so it’s no surprise that Connor Roy’s wedding day delivered what is sure to be one of the biggest shockers ever to grace HBO. SUCCESSION, indeed.“
– Jami
“It isn’t easy to follow up on one of the greatest episodes in television history. SUCCESSION’S previous episode, CONNOR’S WEDDING, was a game changer. Expertly crafted and emotional but also tense and brilliantly written and acted. HONEYMOON STATES takes the next step and gives us a view of what the show looks like after such a significant alteration to the status quo. And the results are equally as gripping.“
– Mike
“KILL LIST, as my friend Donald described it, “is why I watch SUCCESSION” – stunning vignettes of upper-echelon living, subtle power plays, huge emotional peaks, and, of course, humor.“
– Tarush
“These episodes roll out week after week and continuously prove what Logan Roy said an episode 2… his children are intelligent, savvy, and power-hungry, but they are flying by the seat of their pants. Their decisions as of right now make little sense both business-wise and in their personal lives. They are improvising as they go along. They are in fact, NOT SERIOUS PEOPLE.“
– Eli
“This episode may lack an exotic location or high-octane business dealings, but I guarantee will go down as one of the more pivotal episodes in the show.“
– Tarush
“Over the last month, I’ve joined the SUCCESSION bandwagon by immersing myself with the Roy family. Yet, what had me binge thirty-eight episodes at a breakneck speed was the writing, acting, and sheer technical wizardry in the world that Jesse Armstrong has created. For the uninitiated, SUCCESSION deserves the abundance of critical and audience acclaim it continuously receives. And season four has done the miraculous by making unrelatable characters relatable through empathy.“
– Aaron
“And just like that, this past Sunday, an era ended with the finale of SUCCESSION. WITH OPEN EYES was also an impressive send-off, even if it wasn’t the most “succession” episode we’ve seen, and tied up what’s sure to be regarded as one of the best shows of all time.”
– Tarush
