I re ally like Shiv, and Roman. Kendall is the least likeable I think.

Omg what show have you been watching?!? 😱

Roman is actually disgusting and Shiv is a horrible human being and thinks way way too much of herself. Kendall is the only smart one of the kids.

Damnspot · 23/05/2023 22:44

I love all of them. I like Shiv and Roman is hilarious.

I googled and the consensus is that he was an original shareholder/investor in Waystar Royco. When the appalling uncle and aunt died they left Euan the farm and Logan a printing press.

So doesn't that make him a bit of a hypocrite? He was going to give his money to Greenpeace once he died, but not before.

Kendall is cringey, and believes he’s better than he is. Roman knows exactly who and what he is, he’s also very funny! Same with Shiv, I think she is sort of honest about who she is? I don’t love her, but I like her character.

Kendall is whingy and a bit wet.

Meixo · 23/05/2023 22:52

I dislike all of them but what can you expect billionaires from a dysfunctional family. Roman sometimes has redeeming qualities but then ruins it with his impulsiveness he's actually really clever and witty but disgusting. Shiv I don't really like anything about her as Logan said she thinks she's smarter than she is. Kendall spends his time navel gazing and he's so embarrassing.

Logan was right, he said he loves them but they aren't serious people who can be trusted with one of the biggest companies in the world. None of them should take over , they have too much of a privileged upbringing with no love from their father.

XelaM · 23/05/2023 23:04

I mean.. more embarrassing than Roman?!? He's an actual pervert who has so much wrong with him. Kendall is damaged by and his naval gazing Is cringey, but come on.. he's the only one out of the kids anyone could have any serious dealings with and he steps up when push comes to shove.

stilldumdedumming · 23/05/2023 23:05

The only thing about the dead waiter is that this show is a commentary on how these multi media organisations work. And it's possible to not get your comeuppance- particularly if you're rich. Did Logan get his comeuppance for all the awful things he had done? If Ken is crowned and gets away with it, it will be realistic?

The storyline with Greg is really about nepotism. It's not a big family seemingly. So Greg is relatively high in the pecking order for no other reason.

XelaM · 23/05/2023 23:08

And Roman's "wit" is all about how he is going to jerk off to something anything. It's just gross now. He needs therapy.

XelaM · 23/05/2023 23:10

Anyway, Connor is my favourite out of the kids favourite 🤩

slamfightbrightlight · 23/05/2023 23:14

Team Roman here too I’m afraid. Don’t worry, I’m appalled at myself.

Tree543 · 23/05/2023 23:15

Connor is my favourite too. He is a bit of a fool and a buffoon but is the nicest of the four of them (which isn't saying much).
Can't understand the Roman love, yes he has had moments of vulnerability this season, but the Mencken support was awful and he is so gross sexually.

Mydoghealsmyheart · 23/05/2023 23:53

Did anyone notice Kendall using the line which Karl said to him in a previous episode about “he’s holding our dick in his hand and we’ve got to hold his in ours”? Kendall said it to Roman when he was having a go at him about being weak after the funeral.

Mydoghealsmyheart · 23/05/2023 23:54

Do we think that, if we all ask nicely, they’ll agree to one more series? 😭

i’m so sad at the thought of no more new Succession after Monday. i want more!!!

i think my favourite line was “i thought i heard some dalmatians howling” (or words to that effect) when Caroline arrived! Just perfection!

i also will feel a bit disappointed if it’s Greg. although if he had to fire Tom - that would be brutally good!

i also agree that someone else was in the car with Mattson at the end

i think i would like Tom & Shiv to stay together

Gerri for the win!

I loved the dalmatian line too.

There's no way narratively the dead waiter isn't going to come back - Kendall hasn't paid for his crime, therefore it must all come out in the wash.

I think that's the whole point of that story though isn't it - that billionaires don't have to be held accountable for things like that. The money and status protects them and they can quite literally get away with murder.

Yep. Isn't that story akin to the Edward Kennedy's drowned mistress story? It harmed his presidential campaign, but he was never held accountable as far as I know

Netaporter · 24/05/2023 04:36

For those who think that Kendall is the only serious choice, I suggest you rewatch the episodes in which he performs his self-penned birthday rap for Logan’s big birthday … or indeed his own 40th birthday party in which he recreates his own mother’s vagina/birth canal as a perfectly suitable entrance 😳😂😂😂😂

Forgot about those 😂😂😂

As is usually the case in these type of families, the kids are all total morons and would never be anywhere near the top without nepotism, but when the choice is between Roman, Shiv, Kendall (and Connor)... Kendall is the least crazy choice. Although Greg is the smartest of the offsprings.

JaneFondue · 24/05/2023 05:56

Oh Kendall is a very damaged man, like all the Roys, with shit taste in music, but I stick by my position that he gets stuff done, or tries to. The testifying before the Senate, standing up to Logan when he asked him to take the fall for the cruises scandal, defending Living Etc, delivering the funeral speech.. The list is long.

Shiv and Roman think they are smarter than they are and believe they have special bonds with Mattson and Mencken, when actually they are just being used. Shiv especially made a big deal about her progressive politics, only to roll over for Mattson and Mencken.

Almahart · 24/05/2023 07:29

It became really apparent in that episode that Roman has always operated on the level of a 13 year old boy. His impulsivity in bringing forward the rocket launch, the dick pics, the immaturity of his decision making on election night. It was just slightly hidden from view. Such clever writing.

I adored the mausoleum scene. So funny, and like others I loved that Connor and Logan had a relationship where they talked about these things.

AnImaginaryCat · 24/05/2023 07:40

Kendall isn't in an sense better than Shiv or Roman.

All three have done something better than the other two but overall they aren't as smart as they think they are.

In fact I think Kendal might be worst of them. Believes he the best of them and thinks he's as smart as his da. Think he just won't have the capability as he's never actually really done anything of his own volition. He'll just be ruthless and nasty without the result of success.

Roman is just a disgusting perv. Desperate for his father to approved of him - broken now because penny finally dropped he'll never get it now. Will do make others do anything to get the power he wants but never keeps because it was all fake. He only achieved it through other people and not anything he's actually done.

Shiv seems to be the only one that did something away from the business. She's constantly trying to position herself in a spot she'll never achieve as the men in her life just won't let it happen. She's just contain to self sabotage - Tom I think truly loves her and would have supported her.

One of my favourite parts of the episode was where Shiv and Tom were being horrible and destructive to each other, then Caroline was cold to Shiv, then Tom switched to sympathy for Shiv and Shiv switched to being caring for Tom.

I'm sure there will be another.

tribpot · 24/05/2023 07:53

I think it would be too hard to get the cast back together again now that they're out of contract. And the whole team deserve to go out in a blaze of glory, having made some of the best TV of all time. I'd worry another season could spoil the legacy (see: Ted Lasso).

burnoutbabe · 24/05/2023 08:01

I only stared watching this season so I am not sure they will address the waiter as it's not been referred to at all this season and newer viewers would have no idea

If they wanted to bring it up, someone would have mentioned it in passing to remind everyone/the audience what happened.
