There was never going to be a happy ending to the boardroom-meets-family saga. The best thing “Succession” did was acknowledge that, in the end, all of the Roys would be miserable.
finale resembled any other preceding episode, with Kendall striving to solidify support for his bid to block Waystar RoyCo’s sale to Lukas Matsson’s GoJo, Shiv trying to secure her own spot at the head of the table, Roman acting like a sniveling, damaged creep, and Tom Wambsgans groveling at the feet of anyone who might throw him a crumb—all as his sycophantic minion Greg feigned fealty while angling to improve his own spot among this wretched lot.
Kendall ultimately shot himself in the foot by dishonestly telling his siblings, mid-boardroom meeting, that he hadn’t been responsible for Andrew Dodds’ death—a lie that cast his season-three-finale confession as a deceptive maneuver, and proved to Shiv and Roman that he couldn’t be trusted.
In that regard, the episode was of a piece with everything that had come before it, and that was especially true when it came to the game it’s been playing from the start: eliciting empathy for its villains, only to subsequently highlight their inherent villainy.finale wasn’t its climax but, rather, Kendall, Roman, and Shiv gathering late at night in their mother’s kitchen following their agreed-upon decision—however painful—to let Kendall become the CEO of Waystar RoyCo.
That they all get along when they think they have everything they ever wanted , and that they miss their democracy-wrecking brute of a dad—arguably the worst person who ever lived, no matter his impressive force of personality and titanic achievements—is of no consequence considering their abject awfulness. Hitler loved his dogs too, after all.
