Succession recap: Alliances made and broken as it all goes Game of Thrones
Sarah Snoop, Jeremy Strong and Kieran Culkin in Succession.
With the death of Logan Roy, Succession delivered one of modern TV’s biggest-ever bombshells. Now, comes the messy follow-up. In Logan’s Manhattan apartment, family and friends have come to grieve – and stake their claim for a piece of his media empire. Tears are shed and knives are drawn in an episode that epitomises Succession and the vicious amorality of its characters.
Shiv, Kendall and Roman are surprised to be welcomed by Logan’s widow Marcia. The last they heard she was estranged from their father and off to Milan “shopping forever”. But now she’s back as the grieving partner, claiming she and Logan spoke “intimately” on the phone every day. She may be upset but she is also determined to do well out of the death – and agrees in a heartbeat to sell the pad to Connor, Logan’s clueless eldest child.
