Here they all come, pouring out of helicopters, SUVs and yachts, clad in impeccably tailored pant suits and $340 T-shirts, Ortolan juice dripping from their chins. Yes, the Roys are back this week for one final round of Who Will Get a Kiss From Daddy, AKA Succession.
This is the last time we’ll see television’s first and worst family; as confirmed by creator Jesse Armstrong last month, Succession will end with its fourth season. Sad news, but one small positive is that we can expect the ante to be upped by several notches for this final outing. There will surely be more betrayals, blood sacrifices, hostile takeovers and, well, hostility in general than ever over the next 10 weeks. At the end of it all someone will win the big cash prize (or bag of M&Ms). Or perhaps not – maybe Logan Roy will tell the whole lot of them to “fuck off” in that mouth-full-of-tablet, transatlantic snarl of his.
