SUCCESSION SEASON 4 REVIEW
Last season on Succession, big bad CO of Waystar RoyCo Logan Roy (Brian Cox) reins supreme and has laid the smack down on his children. If you come after the king, you better be prepared to ravage the land, salt the earth, and drag the bodies of your enemies behind a chariot Achilles-style. Now with the final season of the series, Logan makes moves to secure his legacy and establish himself as the best billionaire media mogul of all time before his time runs out. Colin Roy (Alan Ruck) abandons the bachelor life and plans his wedding in hopes that his siblings and father can set aside their feud to celebrate the happiest day of his life with him. Kendall Roy (Jeremy Strong) is torn between securing his birthright and sabotaging his father’s empire with underhanded dealings with tech billionaire and all around hottie Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgård). Shiv Roy (Sarah Snook) is playing for Matsson’s team on the down-low like a boss, being told her seat in power there is guaranteed, but the systemic misogyny and power structures of the sexist corporate world continue to trip up her ambitions. Roman Roy (Kieran Culkin), finally feeling the respect from daddy dearest, attempts to leave the carefree mischievous time bomb life behind and step into the wingtips of a winner, but can a zebra change his stripes and delete his NSFW texts in time for a merger? Also the dynamic duo of Tom (Matthew Macfadyen) and Greg (Nicholas Braun) get up to some election night shenanigans involving wasabi and La Croix. Bradly holds a very important business meeting with lots of numbers and graphs with Sarah Jane, and Drew. They discuss the overall stock of Succession, how it could impact serious HBO (or, well, MAX) dramas in the future, and how sometimes you gotta watch terrible people be the worst in order to feel like a great human being.

YOUR REVIEWERS
Bradly Martin (Screener Squad, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)
Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and Eye on the prize and maybe even provide some comments of his own.
