The Succession shows us how important great writing is. That's why writers MUST be heard and paid.

[@EmptyGlass99]

It all starts with the writing.

[@uglybetty8747]

Writers r crucial to any projects never rlly understood y they were not given enough credit

[@HoofHearted88]

Great writers deserve to be paid, no matter their status. Unfortunately many of them are promoted beyond their skill level and we're left with subpar written shows. That happens a lot. The Succession writers though? They deserve to be paid big time. Very well written show. The She-Hulk writers though? Who gives a toss.

[@emilianoharispuruponcedele53]

No ai machine will ever match what Shakespeare, Dostoyevsky or in this case, Armstrong have written. Why? It takes a HUMAN being to understand what makes another HUMAN being act a certain way, but Hollywood producers are too ignorant to understand that.

[@spiritofanu3112]

Well said!

[@Erasureeraser]

I hope Sarah Snook gets more incredible roles in the future. Her performance as Shiv is some of the best I've seen in TV. Can't get enough of Sarah alright. Succession was a perfect international breakthrough for a great future career of her

[@electricark5065]

If you haven't, you should check out Predestination. It's a kinda headfuck time travel film starring Sarah Snook and Ethan Hawke. Really put Snook on the radar for me.

[@anthonyalvarez2037]

She got cake too

[@micoorda6174]

Absolutely. God, I hope she gets considered to play Lois Lane in James Gunn's Superman Legacy.

[@cheggs9]

I really loved her in The Beautiful Lie.

[@WilliamButtlicker]

Predestination is what comes to mind where I've also loved Sarah Snook apart from this show. Amazing film.

I thought i was the only one. This giant void because of this tragic yet beautiful story

[@creativeideator]

Same. I don't know why, I didn't even like the last season that much...but somehow I guess I am scared/sad to potentially not see such a quality performance again in the near future...🥲

[@HibaSiddique101]

It took me a whole day to recover from the violent, dark and twisted hug between Kendall and Roman. Harrowing to watch. Deeply complex and so much pain.

What's up with people in the comments thinking the show is called "The Succession"??

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

The kitchen scene in the finale is like my favourite scene in the entire series. It was so warm, sweet and funny….. And they follow that up with the most brutal depressing ending they’ve ever done where all the characters you like have their lives destroyed forever…… even if they’re richer.

[@alooncnej4696]

I agree it is mine too

[@GRYNGE7]

​@alooncnej that's why I didn't like it much. It's was so obvious that a rug pull was coming. Should have been a scene that was shown weeks prior

[@alooncnej4696]

@@GRYNGE7 no we enjoy them spending funny and good time together and it can happened not a happy ending but an agreement between three to let Kendal at this place but with a less good thing next to their places in the work. I really enjoyed this scene wonderful acted with a perfect score and i almost believed too at a happy ending.

Nicholas Braun too. Who wasn’t ever rooting for Greg?

[@Isabella-je9yu]

And Matthew, playing Tom in the way he did was exquisite

[@gonzalogorraezricardez2609]

What suprised me the most in this show was certainly the empathy that you somehow, willingly or not, felt towards these characters, no matter how corrupt, degenerate, iniquitous, nefarious, and vicious they all were, driven by just the ambition of a harder grasp on money, power and status. This was of course all provoked by the amazing writing, acting and even sound produced in this show.

[@normalizenatalie]

there's a rly good video called Why people compare succession to shakespeare (from the channel Overthinking it) that goes into this topic rly well, one of the only succession video essays i would highly recommend in the sea of average ones

[@gonzalogorraezricardez2609]

@@normalizenatalie thanks! I´ll check it out

[@punchgod]

It really shows the bare subject beneath their symbolic status. The tension between those two domains of character consciousness is the driving force of the show

[@tammy3545]

This is how I feel exactly. Underneath it all they are still human beings with basic emotional needs that were never met by either of their parents. They longed for it but also avoided it.

[@josepha133]

It's because we all know what they feel, that craving for love. All throughout the show that's basically all they do, crave their parents' love.

[@Sara-hhhh]

The cast is lightning in a bottle. What a fantastic ensemble.

[@ChemseddineArab-uk1sk]

3 months now and still feel like a hole in my chest I really miss it 💔

[@mahdikh1822]

What I learned from this show was how our relationship with humans shape our life. The words you put out, the timing you make for your actions, the information you got about small details, the courage and daring you perform, can all bring you top or send you down. Honestly, I have ignored these nuances in my life:)

[@spiritofanu3112]

I think it also shows the void of achievement for those born already at the finish line. To set goals, to really have to struggle to achieve them, to feel the absoluteness of the word “no”, to pick yourself up again, to set internal values and stick to them, to suffer, to know true success by your own merit - these are life lessons you miss when you are already there.

[@danielastefan7274]

Yes. Fullllyyyy agree.

[@MrRyanmilligan]

The singing scene in the last episode was so powerful and intelligently done. Their first opportunity to grieve as a family over an old video that every family may have of their lost love ones

[@AA-qb7ni]

One of the greatest series of all time. Gonna miss this chaotic family 😭

[@Ofinfinitejest]

Right now, I would say second only to "The Sopranos" but I would say "Succession" had even more brilliant dialogue. The ensemble casts of both are pretty equal, generally, but there is no actor equal to Gandolfini.

[@tomcarroll4909]

It’s easy to focus on the actors, who are brilliant, but the writing is the real genius of this incredible show

[@cyberpokey]

The fact that Kiern, Sara and Jeremy didn't know about that scene with the Logan video is just incredible... the way they respond and improvise and completely LIVE those lives and characters... the entire cast.. just phenomenal

[@neesonnaidoo4745]

Jeremy Strong put on one of the all time great performances. I can’t wait to see more of his work in the future

[@KyanNezhad]

A strong performance indeed

[@portland9880]

Watch the apprentice! He killed it as roy cohn

[@SR-rz9uj]

Cox, Ruck, Strong, Culkin, Snook, and Macfadyen were excellent but don’t forget the supporting cast. J. Cameron Smith, Peter Friedman, David Rasche, Dagmara Domińczyk, and Fisher Stevens - all legends and did phenomenal work. Also, thank you to the powers that be who cast the exceptional talents of Hiam Abbass and Arian Moayed. Love them both and it is fantastic to see Middle East actors onscreen. Wonderful writing, direction, everything. Mourning the end of the series but thankful for the creativity, work, and dedication. Bravo 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@cheesehead7278]

So glad Brian highlights the diner scene. I personally thought it was one of the more unique and telling scenes of the whole show.

[@hypernewlapse]

Idk this whole thing of “very powerful psycho isolated man finding his one true constant friendly presence in his strong stoic bodyguard” is so cliche, for once it reminded me a lot of Frank Underwood and Meechum from house of cards and I know there are more examples

[@simplypodly]

​@hypernewlapse i think there was another layer to it as well though. He's not really bonding with colin like a real friend, more just like he enjoys the idea of it. You can tell because as soon as colin tries to say something personal Logan shuts it down and goes on a rant.

[@aasthakarki9289]

Sarah Snook has such a lovely and genuine personality!

[@cristospo]

“…Love us forever… Please!” That’s the most Greg moment 😂

[@winstonsmith8236]

At first I felt let down by the finale until I processed both the emotion and the actual material’s merit and realized: I finally experienced a great finale and I’m just feeling loss. I honestly learned a lot about myself and my marriage and relationships watching this show. We all have the capacity for lesser, weak, harmful emotions and allowing life to not highlight our best qualities: it’s just about recognition, growing and evolving past cyclical trauma, every generation receives some, every generation dishes some out.

[@gforeal5]

Man this hit so true, fantastic show showing us some of our worst tendencies that we can easily fix

[@sarahlang2119]

​@Gabe Gonzales yet Jesse's stated view is that people don't change

First of all, thank you HBO for saying yes to Succession. And thank you to every single person, from Jesse Armstrong onwards, that was responsible for putting this show together over its past four seasons. There are simply not enough hats to take off to all of you guys for all your incredible work. You guys have made history with this show and have crafted something that will remain in our minds and hearts for several years to come. All the best in all your future endeavors and future projects👑 Now, BURNING QUESTION TO HBO:🔥 Succession proved to be a wothy successor of Game of Thrones. Now that it has come to an end, of all those remaining, which HBO show will be the successor of Succession in terms of TV dominance?

[@ryansmith240992]

I think the episode where Logan died is one of the best in TV that I’ve seen at least. The acting was amazing from the kids, the camerawork & the directing was really incredible & it did make you guess if Logan was actually dead or pulling a prank

[@gforeal5]

Show finale was at first hard to swallow everything at the end with the siblings but in the end wow what a fantastic story well written and ended. Everything about this show shows you the flaws in our constant need and want for our own gain and not looking out for others. Sad this ended but what a beautiful series to go back and re watch and enjoy over and over

[@alooncnej4696]

One of the best show ever a top 10 for sure. The lines, the acting, the writting, thanks to the writers and actors.

[@Msloulou2458]

It was an honor to watch and experience this show, to follow the ever evolving story, to love, hate and relate to the characters portrayed by the incredible cast and to relish in the visual delights of the sets and wardrobe. Everything was sheer perfection. It was truly great television but it went beyond that. It was a highly intellectual and deeply emotional experience that moved us all who watched and for that I say thank you. Bravo!

[@MrXabungle]

The siblings watching Logan happy at a dinner with Connor and others was so heartbreaking. I think it was also Jeremy, Sarah and Kieran's first time seeing the video on-set.
