Succession recap: Nothing says Roy family like a knife in the back
Mathew Macfadyen and Brian Cox in episode two of Succession.
It’s the fourth and final series of Succession and, as ever, the Roys are keen on knifing everyone in the back. If a close family member ends up with a blade between the shoulders, so much the better.
Episode one focused on the aftermath of hard-tackling patriarch Logan ruthlessly outflanking his kids. He had sold the family conglomerate Waystar Royco behind their backs. They, in turn, had tried to take revenge by buying old media empire PGM from under his nose – a deal that merely confirmed that they have more cash than sense.
