Regarding whether the Succession writers pay attention to what fans love, show creator Jesse Armstrong says: 'They’ve enjoyed them because we’ve done something interesting with them.'

on Oct. 13, 2019, with the propulsive episode “This Is Not for Tears.” Logan Roy , the family patriarch and CEO of Waystar Royco, has asked his erratic, striving son Kendall to take the fall — make a “blood sacrifice,” as Logan calls it — for the company’s cruise division, which has covered up deaths, rapes and sexual harassment. Instead, at the press conference at which Kendall is meant to fall on his sword, he implicates Logan: “This is the day his reign ends.

about where we find the show’s characters as the season begins, some of the show’s inspirations and how “Succession” might land post-Trump. I am aware that people’s enthusiasm has grown for the show, and that’s really gratifying. I’d like as many people as possible to watch and enjoy it. It’s not useful on a micro level to think about suggestions, or which characters or which dynamics people enjoy. They’ve enjoyed them because we’ve done something interesting with them. Trying to replicate that would be no fun for them or us.I think the truth is I’m aware of that stuff.

I guess Trump is gone, but the shape that he gave to the American political and social environment — that still resonates. There’s a certain amount of post-traumatic stress in America about the possibilities of what could have happened, and what people still feel did happen. So I think this show has been formed by the Trump era.
