SPOILER ALERT: Season three’s stunning finale delivers a killer blow from the least likely of sources. Succession
If we’ve learned anything in three seasons of, it’s that nothing happens by mistake. Every lingering pan, every breath of dialogue is by design; such is the masterful execution of this modern Machiavellian family drama.
To kill your master is the ultimate act of liberation for a slave; if you want your freedom, you must pay for it in blood. And for much of the finale, it appeared the uprising would come in the form of three unlikely allies: Roman, Shiv and Kendall. Word filters back to the siblings that Logan is considering the deal, and there’s something of an ugly beauty in the way it galvanises them. After the bitter divisions of this season, the risk that their legacy could be sold off to the highest bidder brings the siblings together.Scenes of great tenderness - of any tenderness, really - have been hard to come by this season. But watching rock-bottom Kendall open up to Roman and Shiv about his failed coup is genuinely heartbreaking.
After brief consideration, the decision is made to push Logan out. “How do we feel about killing Dad?” asks Shiv. “Pass me the shotgun,” deadpans Kendall. “Do you want a deal with the devil?” Tom asks Greg, and that’s all we need to understand what’s about to happen. Tom is Shiv-ing his wife and taking Greg with him to “the bottom of the top”.Kendall, Shiv and Roman storm in on Logan’s dealmaking and play their holding company trump card. But it’s immediately apparent that, once again, Logan is two steps ahead.
