If parting is such sweet sorrow, Succession makes it supremely satisfying as well in a penultimate chapter that lays out the series' emotional stakes with blistering clarity.

5/5
Watch Shivvy lie; watch Kendall cry; watch Roman the Showman act as if he wants to die. Go to Full Review Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic 05/23/2023

9/10
