The actions of Matsson, his inappropriate work relationships, and his preference for the man who impregnated his wife rather than the woman herself all make sense. It’s clear that he has some issues, and his behavior was not surprising. Shiv’s decision to align herself closely with power wasn’t shocking either, but rather a subtle declaration. It was like saying, “Wow, she really did that.” Just when it seemed like the kids reached a resolution, they surprised us again.
I’m not surprised that the rich white woman…did what rich white women do. “If I can’t have it, then I’ll give it to my terrible husband!” After watching the finale, I spoke with my friends, and one of them predicted that Shiv would fold as soon as Tom told her he would take the fall. Neither Shiv nor Tom have strong moral convictions, and Matsson was testing how much Tom would submit to him by suggesting he would sleep with the man’s wife. I thought, “Wow, Tom, you’re not even going to fight back?” LMAO.
However, I must admit that I’m slightly annoyed that Greg has more job security than an actual journalist. Sorry, not sorry, but I didn’t want to see that man succeed. He’s simply not very intelligent! But $200k a year to be Tom’s punching bag? That works.
I’ve come to respect and understand creator Jesse Armstrong and the writers’ decision to end the show here. I remember sitting in a grocery store parking lot when The New Yorker announced that Season 4 of “Succession” would be its last, and I was in SHAMBLES. The pain was tangible. However, it now makes perfect sense to conclude the series after Logan’s death and Kendall’s personal journey. Let’s face it; Logan’s right-hand man will never recover from this. Plus, after four seasons, some fans of “Succession” started projecting their emotions and aspirations onto the characters, leading to frustrating discussions on social media. Kudos to the writers for creating such an exceptional series. – Ruth
I initially felt a bit stunned by the news that the show would end, thinking it could go on for another season. However, I also understood the decision because the show revolves around characters who continuously avoid dealing with their issues and remain trapped in cycles of abuse initiated by Logan.
At the same time, I was surprised when Armstrong admitted that he wasn’t completely sure about ending the show. The decision was finalized during the process of writing and filming this final season, which made me slightly nervous that the series finale might lack a definitive feeling since it wasn’t originally planned as such.
However, this show has taught us to always trust the writers. Each week, especially after Logan’s death, it became clear why Armstrong made the decision he did. In the words of Jeremy Strong, “It made sense dramaturgically.”
Whether within a single season or throughout the entire show, the writers excel at knowing the right time to progress the story and lead it toward an endgame. It had to end here. While it’s easy to imagine what could happen in a fifth season, such as Tom and Shiv continuing their loveless marriage or the company under Matsson’s control, it’s unnecessary to see it all play out. As Armstrong mentions in the post-episode commentary, the characters’ stories will continue, but we don’t have to witness them. – Marina
