If the final episode of Succession season 4 (aka the series finale) is of the same consistent quality as the nine episodes that have proceeded it, then the darkly comedic drama will most likely rank as my favorite TV show of all time. I appreciate that’s a bold claim, but Succession is just that good.
However, in the run-up to the Succession series finale, I keep thinking about How I Met Your Mother. It’s not because the shows have much in common thematically or share any main cast members. Instead, it’s because HIMYM was a popular show that pretty much trashed its entire legacy with a final episode that didn’t just jump the shark, it cleared a freaking megalodon.
