“I just do what my dad tells me”
Well that was the most stressful episode of Succession I’ve ever sat through. Scratch that, I was pacing for most of the episode. At one point I hid behind my couch, curled up, peaking over the cushions through my fingers tryi...

Since his stroke in the first episode, Logan Roy’s mortality has loomed over Succession. It is a looming existential dread that backgrounds every character’s decision. Hell, it’s right there in...

“What are you watching?” is pretty much the automatic question I get when I tell people what I do for a living.
As the TV year is picking up this fall, I don’t have time to do full conversations on everything I’m watching but I’m going to keep doing these roundups each month for t...

Succession is a show about many things, but one of its central ideas, with its endless obsession over who will be Logan’s successor, is to compare modern day corporatism and capitalism to monarchy. With each of Kendall’s attempts to kill the king, he’s g...

Season 3 of Succession, the dramedy following the wealthy, powerful, and despicable Roy family picks up right where season 2 ended — just moments after Kendall’s bombshell press conference — where he stuck a full-sized broadsword in his father Logan’s ba...
