In Succession's third season, something unexpected grew in the cracks of the series’s foundation of cynicism and selfishness: sincerity. roxana_hadadi writes
Photo: HBO Amid the emphatic synths and cooing scale-running in the inimitably operatic, wholly perfect pop classic “What Is Love?” by Haddaway, the singer repeats two agonized requests: One is existential ; the other is direct . And though Eurodance is many miles away from Nicholas Britell’s sophisticated Succession score, Haddaway’s queries come to mind while watching the Roys engage in death by a thousand cuts.
This third season begins immediately after the second ends, with Kendall trying to gain some sort of justice for the “no real people involved” in the crimes on cruises. Still consumed with guilt over the death of waiter Andrew, for which he blames himself , and obsessive about proving he’s not a “bad person” like his father, Kendall works to get his siblings on his side.

They fail, of course. Logan has outsmarted them, undoing the supermajority clause their mother Caroline worked into her initial divorce settlement and essentially removing them from relevance within Waystar Royco as it sells to tech giant GoJo. Logan denies them the opportunity to step into his shoes after all — the goal he had trained them all to want.
