 This week, Succession is a tale of two princes. Though Kendall and Roman are theoretically equals at the head of Waystar Royco, they are dealing with the responsibilities of following in their father’s footsteps in very different ways. With the takeover of Waystar by GoJo proceeding fitfully, the Roys fly to Los Angeles to rein in their free-spending Hollywood studio and launch a loopy new lifestyle division, Living+.

Kendall has been charged with the theoretically trickier task of unveiling Living+ to the world. It’s a wackadoodle attempt at bringing the dotcom philosophy to assisted living. The pitch is that clients will live in luxuriant gated communities, receiving visits from Waystar-affiliated movie stars and top-of-the-line life-extending treatments. Nobody lives forever, jokes Kendall. But Living+ might be the next best thing.
