To be honest, I’m unsure what, now that I have seen the start of the final season of television’s current greatest show, even counts as not a spoiler. What do you really, actually want to know? Most of my nearest and dearest hung up on me or just flat out ignored my messages when I asked the above question. Quite a lot of people told me to f*** off, which is a phrase that features heavily in season four of Succession.
But beyond this shocking reveal? Anticipation surrounding this abruptly-announced last hurrah is such that even revealing the first episode’s most weapons grade zinger feels like it might be crossing a line.
