The humiliation of Fox News and the Murdochs during “Succession” ’s final episodes “has supercharged its already potent satire, making even the most minor plot points and throwaway lines feel delightfully loaded,” inkookang writes.
, the series creator, that his characters are an amalgamation of various wealthy clans, the parallels between the Murdochs and the Roys have been harder to ignore with each passing season. One could argue that for the ink-stained paterfamilias, the comparison to Logan has been fairly flattering.
after its première, I cited one of Kerry’s lines as a meta-description of the anti-democratic confab: “It’s one of those things where, even if it isn’t real, there’s a reason it feels like it is.” But the airing of the Murdochs’ dirty laundry has only pointed toward the family’s diminished sway.
Weeks before the siblings’ disintegrating bond began to reveal itself, the Fox News scandals also reminded me that, whatever pain and grief Logan’s children may grapple with this season, “Succession” has primed us to want all the Roy progeny to fail. The show let us forget that for a few weeks by bumping off their father and immersing us in their grief in real time.
