Although he has no plans to step aside as the head of Waystar Royco, the international media conglomerate controlled by his family, aging patriarch Logan Roy is contemplating what the future holds. He has lingered in the limelight longer than even he thought he would, and now family members want to run the company as they see fit. Despite a best-laid succession plan, tempers flare over Logan's intentions. Kendall Roy, Logan's eldest son from his second marriage and a division president at the firm, is the heir apparent. As Kendall attempts to solidify his eventual takeover, he and the three other Roy children face a difficult choice as company control and family loyalties collide.

Critics Consensus

As compulsively watchable as ever, Succession's final season concludes the saga of the backbiting Roy family on a typically brilliant -- and colorfully profane -- high note.

Let’s hope there’s more shows like Succession to keep us satisfied through to the end of an already stellar year in TV.

Real-life drama has supercharged the HBO show’s final season, making its satire feel even more delightfully loaded...

One of the great troubles of this show is its repetitive, monomaniacal storyline: it worries again and again about who might replace him rather than why.

Succession’s superior storytelling rests on unerring character observation. As psychoanalyst Christopher Bollas once wrote, "character is the trace of relationship".

5/5

Succession still manages to surprise and move with its portrayal of deeply flawed and traumatised characters.

Never have I watched a show that disrespects its viewers time more. What an incredibly disappointing and anti climactic final season.

Succession ultimately fails to deliver a satisfying payoff, ending on a note that feels more frustrating than fulfilling. While the show is widely praised for its acting, the final season drags viewers through endless corporate looping only to arrive at an intentionally empty, feel-bad conclusion. The frequent, jarring camera zooming and repetitive foul language become distracting crutches rather than effective stylistic choices. Instead of providing meaningful character growth or a rewarding climax, the narrative doubles down on the characters' worst traits. It leaves the audience with zero catharsis, making the entire journey feel like a waste of time for anyone hoping for a narrative victory.

I finally finished the last season of Succesion. Despite the repetitive storyline like backstabbing and teaming up I enjoyed the show! It was really great. I know the Roy family is terrible, but truly horrible. But Shiv is a truly backstabbing and manipulive woman but pretending to being a good person. They all pretend to be good. It's weird you hate the hole family, because of the persons they are but. But on other hand you feel with them and at times you are rooting for them! Especially in episode 3 where Logan their father dies. I loved the show and the cast was incredible. Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook, Jeremy Strong, Alan Ruck, Nicolas Braun and Matthew Macfadyen did all amazing work. But also amazing work from Arian Moayed and Alexander Skarsgård. The music was great! This was fun! The ending felt abrupt though. Don't get me wrong it was strong finish. Because it's life and especially Kendall sitting broken on the bench looking to the ocean was a strong end though

This series is in my top 5 of all time. Phenomenal acting & writing. The banter between Logan Roy's kids is classic. The plot twists kept me guessing until the end, and that ending was absolutely fitting.
