In Season 4, Succession remains a claustrophobic masterpiece. Shaneryanhere reviews:
The word “claustrophobia” is, at heart, fairly horrific and viscerally unappealing, and I wanted so much for my brain to travel in a different thematic direction when considering how to write about the final season of. If someone describes something as “claustrophobic” to me, my gut reaction is, “excellent, I won’t watch it.
This claustrophobia works just as well on the family level. In a previous season, we saw Kendall on the verge of a real breakaway when a bad decision at a party resulted in catastrophe and put him back in his father’s debt. Strangely, the prevailing sense among the involved parties was one of relief. Independence from family, from business, is one part allure and three parts terror.
So it goes also with loyalty and betrayal. They form the backbone of the drama, and third season’s finale was a particularly brutal gut-punch, but it’s all on a continuum; the Roy siblings have been infected with the push-and-pull rhythms of their father, and each time they come together, it’s only a prelude to screwing each other over, and each time they screw each other over, it’s only to tighten again.
