[@Bjork4s]

I don't know HBO and the creators found their composers for their show but nevertheless, we can all agree that the theme song in HBO shows never dissapoints

[@therogue1542]

The wonderful Nicholas Britell composed this, who also composed the hauntingly beautiful score of Moonlight (2016)

[@AdamPiper]

Nicholas Britell is the composer. He's legendary. He does any of the score for all Adam McKay films since the big short.

I could never get that intro out of my head

[@HANDICAPCLANMAN]

Doesnt seem heavily sampled from “ for the damaged coda - rick and morty”?

I'm obsessed by the shot of the kids on the elephant. The music matches it so well and it encapsulates their privilege perfectly.

Glad I'm not the only one with an appreciation for that visual and musical cue. You summed it up perfectly for why it works.

Most kids get a kitten Logan buys them a zoo as he has all the money and power in the world.

[@ryanpatricksmith5795]

That and the pony shots are notable constants across the four edits 👌

[@Veroweithofer]

The elephant ride is also highly symbolic. A huge powerful animal, they are riding it, but are not in control and it could easily kill them. The are rocking and shaking around on it. It’s my favorite clip.

[@alperenkurt2892]

all of the kids (kendall, shiv and roman) special footages from earlier intros have been combined for the final season's intro. it is brilliant.

[@Nighthawk-8050]

You can tell the looks on these kid faces even though Logan give them the life that most children who dream of there not happy they're miserable inside.

[@lordjack225pig2]

Nicholas Britell is the composer.

[@alidemee8161]

The end shot and transition of Logan younger with his kids at the table to him older with board executives is the greatest teller of the shows finale and how Logan truly feels about his kids. Brilliant.

[@stewiegriffin12341]

Never skipped this once in 39 episodes.

[@thegoldenboy12]

Heavily inspired by Beethoven’s 8th Piano Sonata

[@scottwantstoleaveearth6418]

I love at the beginning how there’s a single shot of Connor away from the others. Clever way of showing how distant they were from him even at a young age.

[@DawnsHuntress]

I love love love that part too. I also found it interesting how Shiv is left behind just a second later in the next shot

[@themoviemobster9148]

Yeah, well, I'll have you know that Connor Roy was interested in politics from a very young age.

[@SurrealExposure12]

Iconic opening credits. Never ever skipped the intro of this show. Masterpiece.

[@Cryptati0n]

if you pause the opening shot and look at all 4 kids it’s pretty clever. Kendall is awkward smiling, Roman seems like he’s trying too hard to smile, Shiv looks absolutely miserable, and Connor seems indifferent/ detached 😂

[@RPGMira]

Connor was not indifferent nor detached, he was clearly thinking about politics at this very young age.

[@margarethmichelina5146]

And if you pause at the right moment, you will see Connor was moving away from his half siblings and then in the next scene, Shiv was left alone

[@ossie85z]

I love how this gets somehow more horrifying for us regular people everytime I see it, but simultaneously more sympathetic for the kids. Amazing writing

[@312squadron]

There is so much in this short sequence. So much. Main theme Logan constantly leaving and everyone is just watching him.

[@iknowexactlywhoyouare8701]

The percussion and piano starting softly on the background during the intro scene just before the opening credits come on is always chilling. I don't think I've skipped them once.

[@Nighthawk-8050]

I would love to see a prequel season of Succession. When Logan was a young man, living with his abusive uncle, forming waystar, hope HBO give the Green light

[@miguelfmyers]

HBO is responsible for all my My favorite intro to shows. Successsion, peacemaker and Sopranos. The visuals with the music makes succession the goat, the visual of the kid trying to smoke the cigar is iconic.

Amazing song and the new visuals are great as always. I hope this latest season is a banger and also a swan song to an amazing series. Godspeed HBO and Succession writers and cast. Please end it well. 🙏.

[@brent415ful]

Satisfied?

[@SARGEHALO666v2]

@@brent415ful Yes. Many will say that the ending sucked or came outta nowhere but I think it fits. All the kids trying to succeed their dad never could measure up to the old man, so it definitely makes sense that none of them actually succeed him in the end. I’d say it was a fitting ending to the Succession story and I am in fact satisfied. Well done writers and cast.

[@QueenetBowie]

Does a good job always showing Logan off in the distance, even at the very end they look as Logan is walking off screen almost like they’re saying “where is Dad”. By the end of the series you can’t help but feel bad for the kids even if they were jacked up emotionally, their parents did it to them

[@jcesarslopes]

[@NaCl-ty]

It’s interesting how Roy Logan had less and less time in the intro, they no longer showed his face in this season, and most of the time we just saw his back or he walking away. My heart ache thinking of my own father and his death more than a decade ago

it’s crazy how the opening in season one was with logan and young kendall. season 2 was with young kendall and roman with logan not there. season 3 and 4 roman, kendall, and shive was all there together with no logan. and noticed that connor was always the far right? shows he wanted nothing with them only wanted his part of the company. the 5%! he was always doing his thing.

[@evilmuppet5780]

They're actually emulating the opening from David Fincher's the Game. It's a brilliant homage, but that's where the similarities end. Succession is devil-tongued backstabbing and brilliant dialogue. The Game is a thriller in the sense that it feels like being shot at and thrown off a building at the same time. Watch both of them NOW
