A warning: If you haven’t yet watched the third episode of Succession’s fourth season, “Connor’s Wedding,” you might want to stop reading this newsletter. Like, right now.
Still with us? If so, let’s join Richard Lawson in applauding the Emmy-gobbling hit for making a bold and unexpected choice in Sunday’s installment: the decision to off the mighty Logan Roy. “I suppose one could look at this plot twist as a cop-out, as damning evidence that Jesse Armstrong and his writers just weren’t sure how to close the loop on Logan,” he writes. But this turn of events is even more likely to reinvigorate the show—“the inevitable explosion that, yes, removes the physical obstacle of Logan, but creates more mess and instability than maybe he ever could while alive. As much as we’ll miss Brian Cox’s fiery performance, we can hopefully look at this shockingly stark development as an opportunity for the show to boldly realize its endgame.”
Elsewhere in HWD, Cox reveals how he feels about Logan’s fate; Super Mario rakes in gold coins at the box office; Karen Valby cheers Molly Shannon’s return to SNL; and Julie Miller chats with Sonny Vaccaro about Air—and being played by Matt Damon.
