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.

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Olivia S @Livsmith Feb 9 The writing, the pace - 10/10 See more MBI M @MNZGamerX Jan 1 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. See more Paul S Apr 4 This show never fails to amaze me, and I enjoy it every season. I definitely recommend it for drama fans! See more Myles H @myleshungerford Mar 10 Succession masquerades as profound commentary on power and family by dressing up soap opera dynamics in expensive suits and literary references. The show invites viewers to feel intellectually superior while watching terrible people be terrible to each other—without offering any genuine insight beyond 'the ultra-wealthy are miserable too.' It's emotional pornography for the NPR crowd: the pleasure of watching privileged people suffer, packaged with enough prestige markers that audiences can pretend they're engaging with something meaningful rather than simply indulging in schadenfreude. See more džEJMS b 01/28/2025 what to say, I was excited before I started watching, considering all the positive reviews the series received. after 5 episodes I was disappointed. the characters are fantastically characterized. their greed, hunger for power, influence, their narcissism, psychopathy, dependence on a deranged father, incompetence and spoiledness... I don't need to mention that the acting is superb. however, you get to know all these characters and their characteristics already after the first three episodes, and the series has 39 of them. What happens in the other 36? if you ask me, nothing. the story revolves always around the same. greedy and narcissistic children are fighting for the position of director, i.e. the successor of their father. and they are doing that for 39 episodes. in each one and the same. nothing original, everything could be told in 10 episodes. one more thing disappointed me, and that is the structure of the episodes. namely, every but every episode is structured in such a way that all the characters are in the same place at the same time; at a funeral, at a party, at a wedding, on a boat... it's cool to see what trash people can be, but in my opinion there is no originality or uniqueness See more Matis E 01/25/2025 This show is a genious as always. Great acting, dialogues and story. See more Read all reviews
