Official Succession Thread 🟠 Season 4 Currently Airing

[re'up]

For me, even if I sometimes "know better", It's a sense of always wanting more, and never really being satisfied, that drives ambitions, but can make you miserable.

The whole time I was watching this I was wondering why they even cared so much about all this shyt. They already had more than they could ever spend in multiple lifetimes. It was just petty bullshyt between all of them. I see why Logan thought they were all clowns.

nah it was definitely more than that…they were “clowns” but not for wanting to succeed logan in running the company…running that company holds immeasurable purpose, power and prestige

I still want to finish this, but it's hard. Like I have no interest in seeing any of these characters win. Not 1 likable character on the show

Curious how Tom takes care of Greg, that was a dope last scene.

"I got you"

tom and greg kinda were friends. now that he got the crown, he can keep greg close and well compensated.

After watching season 4 in real time, I went back and watched the first three seasons and am now all caught up. Kind of a weird way to watch it I know but damn what an all-time great show. The writing and acting just consistently blew me away. Since the show is so big I bet HBO is itching to give Jesse Armstrong and Mark Mylod movies or spin offs down the line. I mean all the characters besides Logan are just there, there's really no reason you can't do more unless they want to move on to something different. But whatever Armstrong does next I'm in.

My only criticism, and its not even really a criticism, but...did they maybe kill Logan off too soon? I know the show was ending but I could have used another episode or two of him against the kids, that was a fascinating dynamic. I guess the point was the kids finally bested him with outbidding him on Pierce and were riding high on that W but when he dies all the business shyt goes away and what's really important comes into focus.

On top of that, running Waystar is a way of connecting to their dad that none of them ever did in a real way. Going back to when Logan's will was found and Ken's name was on it for succession...from that moment, I believe Shiv was gonna do whatever to make sure Ken didn't become CEO. She was shellshocked at that moment, so she just came up with him crossing his name out rather than underlining. After some time passes, she starts to form better plans, but she's Shiv so they blow up in her face.

Until he finds some good blackmail info on Mattson's henchman

That much I understood, but doesn't he kinda imply he's going to cut him way down in salary?

and he says "I have just enough (corporate) capital to keep you"

it was very fitting with their relationship, can't even tell if he's serious or not, just like the first scenes of them, Tom bullying and punking Greg

Hands down the GOAT moment. Kendall smoked this shyt




That beat was

Classic

So, I just finished. A few random ass musings.


I can’t believe there were people that felt like Roman could be CEO . Dude was so imbecilic they had his ass in management training and he was the acting CFO . He had almost ZERO business know how. He saw Kendall going through the files of Vaulter, and was calling Gerri like, “Help ! He got papers ! What do I do?” Mans fast tracked a whole damn launch that blew up. He purchased the wrong soccer team. I could go on and on. Dude was beyond incompetent. People talk about his “instinct” but if you peep game it’s really just him thinking everyone is as full of shyt as he is.

I wouldn’t hire that fool to run a Dairy Queen.

The Logan we see in the show is wayyyyyyyyyyy overstated as a business man in online discourse. He didn’t land not one deal . Like, one of the kids said: this ain’t dad from 20 years ago. Most of the business stuff and mystique that surrounds him his shyt that he did years ago prior to the show. Pierce blew up in his face (twice), he had a huge debt issue that Kendall resolved by bringing in Stewy and Co., Kendall closed Vaulter, Kendall had dude in the crippler cross-face several times, he died before the Gojo deal closed. He literally didn’t close one deal on the show if you overstand .

I think people overcomplicate the ending with Shiv/Kendall. Kendall could do the job. He’s easily the most competent of the three kids in the business arena. However, it became a, “I can’t have it, so you can’t have it” kinda thing for her. Kendall could’ve said anything in that moment in she would’ve used that to justify voting no.


Amazing show!

I just finished and this is exactly how I saw it.

Kendall though couldn't connect with people and his instincts were always wrong.

Like Logan said
