A guide to the most dysfunctional family on TV.

The Big Picture HBO’s Succession has provided us with the most despicable, yet equally fascinating family in TV history. It’s an almost universally accepted knowledge that running a business with one’s kin can often erect familial quagmires, but Succession goes through all highs of successes and lows of failures to sketch out a compelling picture of what it would seem like. The familial aspect of the show is crucial to its success.

Connor Roy Connor Roy is the eldest child of Logan Roy, but everyone seems to forget that. That’s partially because he is the only Roy sibling from a different mother, which makes him the half sibling to Ken, Shiv, and Rome. Given the strangeness of his character, Connor is often treated as the punchline of the Roy family, and finds himself ridiculed by his three siblings. He’s also the only Roy sibling who was never interested in business, finding interest, instead, in politics at a young age.

Siobhan Roy Siobhan is Logan’s only daughter and the only member of the Roy family with liberal ideologies. Initially, Shiv stayed away from the family business, focusing on her political career. But after Logan tempts her with an offer to run the company, Shiv quickly jumps ship. Unfortunately for her though, what Logan promised never comes into fruition.

Tom Wambsgans Tom married into the Roy family by wedding Logan’s only daughter, Shiv. Since Tom comes from a relatively humble background, he’s always been insecure about his position in the company and the family. He doesn’t have any determined loyalties but chooses to side with whichever party he thinks has the highest chances of winning. Their marriage suffers greatly as a result of familial politics and Shiv's infidelity.
