Succession season 4, episode 5: all the best fan reactions

Lukas Matsson Succession Shiv Roy Gerri Karolina Kendall Roy Greg GOJO Kieran Culkin Waystar

Succession season 1-4 spoilers below

Episode five was back to business as the Roys and the cronies flew to Lukas Matsson’s annual retreat in Norway to try and close the GoJo deal. Well, as could have been expected given that Kendall has been keen to tank the deal since episode two, things did not play out all that smoothly.

As it stands at the end of week five, very little has been resolved: Kendall and Roman are secretly trying to make the GoJo deal implode, but Matsson’s onto them and has made an offer so good it’s going to be hard to refuse.

Shiv has some (rather incriminating) information about Matsson that could give her real power in future negotiations. And GoJo’s people have sized up the Waystar Royco crew and have made a list of the staff members that they will be firing once the acquisition goes through. Gerri and Karolina aren’t on the list; basically everyone else is.

Here’s our pick of the best fan reactions to another brilliant episode, which marks the halfway point of the final season.

Much of Twitter felt that Shiv won episode five

Though Kendall was also on top form as Waystar’s new co-CEO

And Lukas Matsson was hilarious

Tom had another rough week

Greg was a bumbling idiot, again

Shiv and Matsson’s relationship went up a notch

Kieran Culkin gave an amazing performance on top of a mountain

Karolina and Gerri avoided GoJo’s “kill list”

And Frank and Karl made everyone laugh, as usual
