Although he has no plans to step aside as the head of Waystar Royco, the international media conglomerate controlled by his family, aging patriarch Logan Roy is contemplating what the future holds. He has lingered in the limelight longer than even he thought he would, and now family members want to run the company as they see fit. Despite a best-laid succession plan, tempers flare over Logan's intentions. Kendall Roy, Logan's eldest son from his second marriage and a division president at the firm, is the heir apparent. As Kendall attempts to solidify his eventual takeover, he and the three other Roy children face a difficult choice as company control and family loyalties collide.

Critics Consensus

Fans already buying what Sucession is selling will be pleasantly surprised to find its third season in crackling form - even if it gets a little too real from time to time.

Must Watch

It manages to build and build and build. Rarely do you get a show that in season three, really feels to be hitting its stride, but thats exactly what this show is doing.

In its new season, the HBO drama goes full-throttle to prove that it’s still the pinnacle of television.

If we didn't know that HBO had already greenlit a fourth season of Succession, the final episode of season 3 could have served as a brilliant series finale.

As season three unfolds, Kendall – jazzed up on his own corporate revolution Kool-Aid – attempts to present his power grab of Waystar Royco as a David and Goliath battle between good and evil.

Why do we enjoy watching the Roy family? All things considered, I think the answer is a simple one: because the world is on fire, so we might as well sit back and take pleasure in pretending for an hour a week that the situation is unique to the screen.

7/10

Because while the plot itself is rushed to get everyone in place for season four, the comedy has never been better. I probably laughed more during this season than the previous two combined.

Holy shit what an Incredible show. It's truly interesting to follow this messed up family. I can stress enough how truly evil this family is. Truly horrible and self-absorbed people. But damn it's interesting the see the show! Kieran Culkin is still killing it for me! I love also the Tom and Greg messed up dynamic. The end is crazy! I'm finally starting with the last season! Ps. Loved that Adrien Brody appeared in the show!

The last season is great, with a couple of episodes I would give a 10 out of 10 rating.

The Roy dynasty are at war with each other (again) after Kendall makes a shock announcement at the end of Season 2 but this episode looks to be particularly brutal as Shiv and Roman make an attempt to step up and impress Logan while seeking to destroy Ken. Right from the start in episode 1 serial backstabbing's and betrayals ensue and no one appears immune. Kendall has however shown himself to be good hearted, trusting, not too bright, immature and also indecisive, so his latest attempt to take down his father is not ensured and very much in the balance. That Ken has to rely on someone as moronic, unreliable, risk averse, shallow and impetuous as Greg says a lot about his chances. While Ken repeatedly self-sabotages himself, the family gets political and their tactics show how someone like Trump could get elected in the real world. What is most apparent in this season is how insufferably privileged, racist, narrow minded and pretentious they all are.

This show never fails to amaze me, and I enjoy it every season. I definitely recommend it for drama fans!
