Succession

Everyone has their favs, and Greg is right up there with many. But I can’t see it - he’s too much of a fool. I can see Mattson buying up all of Waystar Royco and kicking all 3 kids to the curb, lol, leaving them adrift with their billions.

I guess we’ll know soon enough! That last ep with poor Roman still has me cringing. Those kids are really messed up, but I think Roman is the most dysfunctional of the lot. He has no sense of h8mself outside of being a beaten cur. 🥺

We're finally all caught up with just the finale to go next Sunday!

I was thinking of how all the characters are really quite despicable but yet all of them also are so damaged by their circumstances that there definitely is an element of sympathy about them too.

I guess that's what makes people keep watching. You're hoping that somebody will actually be redeemable! If just one of them would be truly able to walk away from the moral corruption and save themselves (and maybe do some good in the process).

It's a BIG ask but I do keep hoping!

My most likely candidate - perhaps Roman. He's the character I most disliked in the beginning - he embodies excessive sloth and privilege, mixed in with a sulking, whiny man-child personality.

But he's also the most fragile and the only one of the siblings who actually FEELS something genuinely (albeit he often misdirects his feelings into destructive actions). The rest of them are too calculating and scheming to recognize genuine feelings.

I'll miss this series when it's over. It's a great examination of the darker aspects of humanity.

I am so excited for the finale tonight I barely know what to do with myself, lol. While I would love for them all to go down in a fiery helicopter crash, I can’t decide which one “deserves” the win the most. I think Kendall would probably make the best choices for the company but they’re all horrible messes. Greg would have the company in flames within weeks, Roman is too scattered and an emotional wreck, I hate Shiv because she’s a terrible woman and a lousy person, and Tom is incompetent (and also horrible). Conor doesn’t care about any of it and is delusional, although less horrible than the others. Maybe it would be for the best if Mattson buys it and cuts the kids out entirely? Then they’d be forced to just go off and live with their million billions of dollars and focus on becoming decent human beings. Haha, what am I saying? They’ll never improve, any of them. 😭
