Succession S3/S4 — 3.5/5
Uhhhh, shit, I barely remember. I think it started to feel like a series of flip-flops, are they going this side or that side, who's going to screw over who. Soap opera drama to just... spread the show out. Tom Wambsgans continued to be the only consistent character, and instilled with increasing pathos. He, too, is a villain, but a villain who can be hurt—and return it. Matthew Macfadyen really was a wonderful actor. And he's British??? Omg. Kieran Culkin rose out of the pack to be his own particular star, clearly troubled, clearly incompetent. And I enjoyed the final episode if only because it solidifies the thesis of the siblings' relationship: the only way they know how to show their affection is by hurting each other—and the ultimate act of love is to deprive them all of power.
