With only a few episodes left before it follows Brian Cox's Logan Roy into eternal oblivion (while still being able to rewatch ad nauseam with an HBO Max subscription), the award-mongering drama Succession hasn’t lost a step in Season 4 by way of delivering emotionally charged scenes for its ensemble cast.

And as it usually goes, viewers are having a blast watching this batch of selfish and egomaniacal asshats and their high-dollar struggles.
