OPINION - The Leader podcast: Successor finally crowned on TV’s Succession

Listen above, and find us on your Spotify Daily Drive or wherever you stream your podcasts.

Warning, this episode contains strong language as well as major spoilers for the last ever episode of Succession.

It was the final goodbye to the much-loved comedy drama about the highly-dysfunctional Roy family, behind the global media conglomerate, Waystar Royco.

We now know the identity of the next CEO and with it, the actual successor - something fans have been promised from the start of the series.

Four seasons, 39 episodes, umpteen brutal insults, thousands of f-bombs and countless amounts of family backstabbing, have all amounted to this final decision.

The Evening Standard’s Elizabeth Gregory and Hamish MacBain are here to review the last-ever episode of Succession. We unpack everything from the show as a whole, give our verdict on the ultimate victor and discuss how the ending compares to others in TV history.

All episodes of Succession are available to watch in the UK on Sky Atlantic and NOW.
