‘Succession’ Series Finale Review: Long Live The [???]

The series finale of HBO’s hit drama Succession ran the length of a feature film, back when they made movies that were only 90 minutes long. It wrapped up the story of the Roy family in ways both great and terrible. I’m not really entirely sure what to say about it all.

Everyone took part in predicting the ending. Who would succeed? Who would be the successor? What shape would this succession story take?

I was right and wrong in my predictions, and I have things to say about that.
