"Succession" came to an end last night. Here's a Magazine full of (spoiler-heavy) articles, including creator Jesse Armstrong on why the eventual successor was the right choice, and the fates of the rest of the characters. “I thought about all their stories,” Armstrong said. “You know, they don’t end. They will carry on. But it’s sort of where this show loses interest in them because they’ve lost what they wanted, which was to succeed."
Professional mediator/negotiator insight/tip while watching #Succession: every negotiation is about dopamine, not $. The privileged asshats who gamble with billions would be equally content convincing a family to overpay $1500 for a minivan. When you're negotiating, understand that you're bargaining over hits of dopamine, not money.

A single, supersized (90-minute) episode of "Succession" remains, and there's a lot to wrap up. Vanity Fair has identified all the burning questions and dangling plot threads, from whether Kendall's name was underlined or crossed out, to what happened to the cruise documents Greg didn't shred. And then there's the real point of it all: Who will run Waystar Royco? Add your thoughts to the comments!
WOW. Occasional Succession guest star James Cromwell (as Ewan Roy, Logan’s brother) showed up to the funeral, strong-armed his way onto the stage, and delivered a eulogy that shook everyone to their core— me included. He fucking NAILED Logan’s personal makeup.
Penultimate episode, Cromwell just shows back up like “actually, this is MY show” — totally badass
If Orwell were around today he’d be a Succession writer.
No, seriously. #Orwell gave up on journalism to turn to allegory, because he thought fiction was more powerful and persuasive.
If he were alive now he’d be using the dominant media forms to do that fiction. He’d love the way #Succession moves its audience.
Since #HBO wouldn't let me watch the latest episode of #Succession due to an inaccessible CAPTCHA, I ended up watching several episodes of the mini-series "The Last Thing He Told Me," starring Jennifer Garner on #Apple TV. Mystery build with strong female characters.

The opening theme of "Succession," with its dissonant chords, dramatic strings and 808 beats, has been an earworm since the show launched in 2018. Here, composer Nicholas Britell talks about how he wrote it.
