Brutal, bleak, cruel, heartbreaking, savage, shocking and sad. Just superb.
The stand-out moment for me was when their violence really turned on each other. When Kendall hugged Roman and then deliberately inflicted physical pain on him, opening his stitches, doing what Logan had done to break Roman as a child. So chilling. So perfectly Succession. The violence that followed from this moment was horrifying.
Why did Matsson betray Shiv? Despite what he said to Tom, I think that was just a test of the extremes of his sycophancy. I think he couldn't stand that Shiv was right about how to bury the bad news, and told him straight what to do instead of flattering his ego and winning him round. Matsson is another Logan, unable to deal with women in business.
Why did Shiv go back to Tom? That bit I can't fathom. Does she want protection from her brothers, is she just exhausted from the fight? She looked like a hostage in her final scene, when in fact she has billions and billions of extra dollars at her disposal.
And all so desolating after their one moment of sibling joy (sponsored by Branston pickle), as if they were free of Logan.
Ultimately Logan won; his deal was done. His children were forced to confront the fact that they are dilettantes with no skill for business - Roman perhaps less so than the others but still so broken and erratic.
Poor, dreadful Connor - no happiness even for him, of course, with Willa trying to ship him to another continent so she can indulge her interior design whims on Logan's majestic apartment.
Tom thinks he will get rid of Karl and Frank but they know way too much. They'll still be there in 5 years' time. Tom may well not be.
All so, so well done. What a fantastic, awful, magnificent ending to the show.
