Ani Bundel: “Succession” will be known for doing many big, loud things well. But the power of this episode lies in 27 small, quiet and at times excruciating minutes.
April 10, 2023, 11:02 PM UTCA month before HBO premiered season four of the smash hit “Succession,” Jesse Armstrong confirmed in an interview that this would be the series’ last. Seemingly inherent in this declaration was the understanding that the lead character, the family patriarch and CEO of Waystar Royco, Logan Roy , would pass away by the finale. However, HBO loves itselfWarning: Spoilers for “Succession” season four follow.
Narrated by his lackey, Tom , Logan’s death is told Shakespeare-style, in a stop-and-start explanation given over speakerphone to Logan’s three children by his second wife. Siblings Kendall , Roman and Shiv have been fighting for three seasons to succeed their father as CEO. It’s a fight that has divided the family, both emotionally and literally.
The Roy siblings’ emotionally remote relationship with their father becomes an illustration of the physically remote nature of grief. Logan passes before anyone even knows what’s going on; Tom’s disjointed explanation is that he went to the lavatory and didn’t come back. The flight crew gives the body medical attention, but it’s an after-the-fact pantomime.
