Calling this 90 minute finale of Succession ‘feverishly anticipated’ would be like describing that Burberry tote bag as a little bit capacious.
To wait out this (too) long bank holiday weekend was to be bombarded with WhatsApp group theories, and to see the Saturday and Sunday broadsheets become Reddit obsessives. Their pages served up interviews with anyone – the actors playing Gerry (J Smith-Cameron), or Frank (Peter Friedman), or Willa (Justine Lupe), or even Roman’s absent-since-season-two ex-girlfriend Tabitha (Caitlin Fitzgerald) – who might be able to provide the smallest of clues as to how the last hour and a half of Succession could play out.
