Spoiler alert: this article mentions the plot of Succession season four, episode eight.
This season of Succession, there has only been one true star. As Jesse Armstrong’s impeccable drama approaches its last ever episode, Logan Roy’s only daughter has pant-suited up to rush the field of stale pale males – and audiences have responded gleefully. Every week when Succession airs, #Shiv regularly trends, her talents for duplicitousness and spousal evisceration drawing wolf whistles of admiration online. Shiv, played by Sarah Snook, isn’t just Succession’s four-letter leading lady; she’s a flame-haired weapon of mass destruction.
