Succession Spoilers Thread

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

This thread is one giant spoiler. Use black spoiler text if you want, but it's superfluous because it'll be nothing but spoilers, including the most recent ep(s).

That said, I'm still shaking my cobwebs out this morning, so I'll start super vague:

What do you guys (probably just Destor at this point) think of the current season?

I already thought the show was an all-timer, but this last season is really solidifying its standing in my book.


First few eps of Season 1 really weren't all that great, and I thought it only got going in ep 6 (with ep 5 being a gorgeous prologue). Part of this was I thought Logan being at his full powers provided the kids with a necessary foil (and vice versa). The worry with killing Logan was losing that foil--but they've done such great work with each character that it was probably the best thing the show could've done. I love the new arc and love how Logan's ghost looms over literally every scene.

The writers/creators say Tom and Shiv is the driving narrative force of the show, which makes me want to watch it with a different lens. I want to try to be more aware of the ebbs and flows of all other plots/subplots based on their relationship and see if I can draw parallels/chain reactions.
