The Beginning of the End for Succession
|
Ready to watch the Roys tussle for control of their family company one more time? Succession premieres its final season Sunday—and according to our own Richard Lawson, it’s in fine form. Expectations for the Emmy-gobbling drama’s last episodes “are high,” he writes, “and based on what I’ve seen of the season so far (four episodes), they will not be dashed. They may be subverted, though. To elaborate on that, I’m afraid, would lead me into spoiler territory—a land I dare not tread. What I can confirm, at least, is that Jesse Armstrong’s sleek and engaging series remains just that as it begins its last lap.”
