SPOILER ALERT: This post contains spoilers from “With Open Eyes,” the series finale of HBO’s “Succession,” now streaming on Max. What a relief that the only votes being counted in the “Su…
” finale were those of Waystar Royco board members.
To wit: The final episode exists within the context, and the long hangover, of the recent, still-contested presidential election, one in which the Roy-anointed candidate has claimed victory under dubious circumstances. It’s a relief to have this issue permanently back-burnered, to have the fact of the Roy family’s complicity treated as a part of who they are rather than an aspect of their story to be unrewardingly probed further.
It was as though, for a while, the show didn’t know what made it work — and in the finale, it got its old high-stepping confidence back. The stakes and characters Armstrong and company had set up to this point allow them to wring unbearable tension out of, for instance, two siblings swimming out into the ocean to speak frankly to a third.
