How does a show as complex as “Succession” end?

The prospect of this seismic sale provokes existential angst and familial division among the Roys as they anticipate what their lives will look like once the deal is completed.”The first four episodes of the final season have received widespread praise, earning four and five-star reviews from most critics.“Powerhouse performances from the Roy clan offer a dazzling masterclass of buttoned-up emotions competing with years of desperately craving approval from the family patriarch,” writes IGN.
