☆ And the Winners Are … ‘Succession’ Fans Who Correctly Chose the New C.E.O.
  + stars: | 2023-05-30 | by ( Wilson Wong | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Ultimately, none succeeded, as the company was sold to Lukas Matsson, a Swedish tech billionaire. But the perennial question of who would take the throne introduced a friendly, low-stakes competition to the viewing experience. Katie Way, a journalist in Brooklyn, did not watch the first three seasons of “Succession,” but she still put her name (and $20) into a bracket pool with nine other people. “I guess I’m a little contrarian.”By the end of the episode, Ms. Way and the other contestant had each claimed their $100. When asked what she would spend her winnings on, she said, “I probably spent more money buying wine bottles for the watch parties, so I’ll probably spend it on more food for future watch parties.”

☆ How ‘Succession’ Treated Every Character
  + stars: | 2023-05-29 | by ( Jacob Gallagher | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Roman Roy“Why isn’t it me?” Has to be dragged out next to GoJo’s Lukas Matsson for a painful photo-op with blood still wet on his forehead. But is now free from the heartache and hatred that abounds at his family’s former company. It might seem like Roman loses, but he wins.
☆ ‘Succession’ Is Over. Why Did We Care?
  + stars: | 2023-05-28 | by ( Alexis Soloski | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
On Sunday night, with the second son, Kendall, poised to take it all, his younger sister, Shiv, betrayed him. The company would be sold to Lukas Matsson, a Swedish tech anarchocapitalist, with Shiv’s husband, Tom Wambsgans, as C.E.O. In its final season, “Succession” drew fewer than half the viewers, across all platforms, of “The Sopranos” or “Game of Thrones.” So if this was a water cooler show, that water was filtered. Yet its queasy, stinging satire of the ultrawealthy exerted an outsize influence on its audience. If you hardened your heart, or if your heart came pre-hardened, it made for a mutinous kind of comfort viewing, in which pleasure, envy and outrage could twine.
☆ ‘Succession’ Series Finale Recap: The Dotted Line
  + stars: | 2023-05-28 | by ( Noel Murray | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
At the end of the series premiere, Logan suffered a debilitating stroke, setting in motion the plot that would go on to drive four “Succession” seasons. Heading into the series finale, most of the big questions raised by that first episode remained unsettled. We will have a full review of the final “Succession” episode soon. In the meantime, here is a quick summary of how some of those questions were answered by the finale. Instead, Matsson becomes convinced that the sycophantic Tom will do whatever dirty deed the new bosses need done after the takeover.
☆ 4 things 'Succession' gets wrong about business
  + stars: | 2023-05-28 | by ( Sindhu Sundar | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
HBO's hit show "Succession" airs its series finale Sunday night, with Waystar Royco's future in the balance. It captures the spirit of boardroom drama, but takes some liberties with corporate law, experts said. On HBO's hit show "Succession," the beats of a proxy fight are sometimes just as intense as a scheming betrayal from a once loyal lackey. Over four seasons, the show has laid out a thesis about the all-encompassing gravitational force of Logan Roy, the media mogul behind the fictional news and entertainment conglomerate Waystar Royco. "But the failure of the board to engage in any succession planning at all, is a first thing to note," she said.
☆ 3 reasons why 'Succession' tech bro Lukas Matsson is Elon Musk crossed with Daniel Ek
  + stars: | 2023-05-27 | by ( Beatrice Nolan | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Viewers say the character seems to resemble aspects of both Elon Musk and Spotify CEO Daniel Ek. Alexander Skarsgard plays Matsson, the billionaire CEO of tech streaming media giant GoJo – a socially awkward, vaguely sinister tech bro. But viewers have been pointing out the character's similarities to two bosses in particular — Elon Musk, and Spotify CEO Daniel Ek. "I definitely didn't try to play an Elon Musk character," Skarsgard said. In one recent episode of "Succession," Matsson tweets a "very nasty joke" after Kendall Roy's presentation about the Living+ initiative because he's less than pleased about the move.
☆ The mourning dress codes of ‘Succession’
  + stars: | 2023-05-22 | by ( Jacquelyn Palumbo | Jacqui Palumbo | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
“Succession” has treated us to both a wedding and a funeral as fate of the Roy siblings spin out towards its finale (which is produced by Warner Bros. Discovery, parent company of CNN), and its penultimate episode gave us mourning dress codes in a grand Catholic setting. “I can do anything — my dad just died,” Shiv responds when asked for a favor at the mass. By episode nine, with the company in a shaky post-Logan transition, the optics of how the Roy siblings perform at the funeral hold a lot of weight. Emotions must be stamped down, they maintain a fragile façade, and getting too close to the truth of Logan Roy is met with a wall of cognitive dissonance.
☆ ‘Succession’ Season 4, Episode 9 Recap: Dearly Departed
  + stars: | 2023-05-21 | by ( Noel Murray | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
(Caroline introduces Sally Ann as “my Kerry.”) These ladies share the bond of having loved a very difficult man; and when Marcia reaches out for Kerry’s hand, Kerry sobs. Logan’s fiery liberal brother, Ewan (James Cromwell), ignores his grandson Greg’s attempt to stop him from taking the pulpit. Roman has never had this kind of spotlight; and now his siblings expect him to “say the other side” of the Logan Roy story. Roman starts to give his generic “great, great man” speech, but then freezes and asks his family to bail him out. He acknowledges the pain his father could cause but he also celebrates how Logan made “bloody, complicated life” happen.
☆ ‘Succession’-Worthy Vacations: Where Should Shiv, Kendall, Greg and More Go After the Finale?

PLOT LINES Planning a trip can be as complex as planning a succession, as Shiv, Roman and Kendall surely know. Photo: Claudette Barius/HBOWHEN, ON May 28, “Succession” reaches its finale, fans will be left to muse on where the Roys will head next in their family drama and what scenic spots they might seek out to recover from all the filial backstabbing—or to engage in even more. So many enviable locations figured in the series, from the Juvet Landscape Hotel near Valldal, Norway, where the Roys conferred with rival Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgård) to La Foce, one of Lady Caroline’s (Harriet Walter) nuptial-weekend villas. So we asked Bellini Travel founder Emily FitzRoy (who consulted on Italy locations for the show) and other luxury planners to imagine real-life escapades for the “Succession” cast—or you, if you have the budget—after the end credits roll.

In "Succession," the Roy siblings headed to Norway to negotiate the sale of Waystar Royco. The wheeling and dealing takes place at the Juvet Landscape Hotel.

A self-described "once-in-a-lifetime escape" that merges modern architecture and the natural world, a room at the hotel goes for between between $430 and $750 per night. A landscape room in winter.
☆ Opinion: I’m betting on Cousin Greg. But I’m not a serious person
  + stars: | 2023-04-12 | by ( Gene Seymour | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
By now, we should be used to HBO’s series pulling the rug out from beneath our expectations. Still, as more than one pundit observed of Logan’s death, this one shocked more than merely surprised. Not me, though I do miss Brian Cox already because few actors anywhere are as adroit at playing dyspeptic sociopaths. It would be at the very least ironic if “Greg the Egg,” the minion’s minion, stumbled into power as if he tripped on a sidewalk. I’ll say no more on this except to suggest that you all try to remember who in the end won that “Game of Thrones.” It’s not inevitable.
☆ 'Succession' star Brian Cox gets into character at final season premiere

NEW YORK, March 21 (Reuters) - "Succession" actor Brian Cox briefly turned into his commanding patriarchal character Logan Roy on the red carpet on Monday, as the cast of the hit HBO drama premiered its fourth and final season. Season four will see Logan edge closer to selling his company to tech boss Lukas Matsson, creating more family divisions and power struggles. “We're going to see a lot of fascinating rides and it's a bit like a roller coaster," Cox told Reuters at the New York premiere. I think people are going to love it... A lot of American shows go on well past their sell by date.
