The highly anticipated finale of the critically acclaimed HBO series Succession aired on May 28, 2023, marking the end of the dark comedy's four-season run.[0]<\/a><\/sup> The show's loyal fanbase was buzzing with anticipation, theorizing about what would happen to their favorite characters and how the story would conclude.[1]<\/a><\/sup> The one-hour and thirty-minute-long episode, titled “With Open Eyes,” not only served as the last episode of the season but also the conclusion of the series.[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Succession follows the Roy family, the children of a media mogul, as they jostle for pole position in his multi-billion-dollar company.[2]<\/a><\/sup> The show has been hailed as the best of the last ten years, with its Shakespearean plotting, punchy dialogue, and jagged satire of corporate America.[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Throughout the fourth season, the fate of Waystar Royco, the media conglomerate founded by Logan Roy (Brian Cox), hung in the balance.[4]<\/a><\/sup> Logan's untimely death left a gaping leadership hole just as he was about to finalize a deal to sell his empire to Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd) and GoJo.[4]<\/a><\/sup> The final episode revealed who would take control of Waystar Royco and who its new leader would be.[5]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Despite the show's popularity, Succession has never really represented the new or even continued life of this type of long-form drama.[6]<\/a><\/sup> This show is not truly the final one; instead, it marks the beginning of a new and uncertain era.[6]<\/a><\/sup> Succession, on the other hand, is a macabre representation of prestige television in the twenty-first century. It's a disturbing repetition of a show that allows us to revel in the last gasps of an era of TV.[6]<\/a><\/sup> This statement has never been more accurate than it is in the concluding season.[6]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Succession's fourth season has been lauded as its most riveting yet, with numerous revelations that were breadcrumbs about where the characters and company were headed.[7]<\/a><\/sup> The finale left fans in shock as the GoJo sale was approved, leaving Kendall devastated and wandering aimlessly through the park, with his father's bodyguard Colin trailing close behind.<\/p>\n
