I thought Ken's ultimate heel turn was mashing Roman's face into his shoulder to intentionally cause the bleeding to makre Roman looked unstable to everyone in the meeting. I am reading that scene correctly, right? That was not a moment of brotherly love....that was a demonstration of dominance. And when they got into a real physical fight minutes later, first thing he did was go right for that face again, with both hands. Dude is a psycho.
And let's not pretend Shiv backed out for any other reason than she was fuming with rage while seeing Ken put his feet up on their dad's desk. That was all it took. She could not stand to see that happen.
They really are that petty, despite having (their last?) night of actually connecting as siblings.
And no, I don't feel sorry for them. They're all rather awful people, and they all get to live their days in opulent comfort with all their billions of dollars of daddy's money.
Like I said earlier, I really REALLY liked the finale. I just didn't enjoy spending that much time with the family before that in order to appreciate that final payoff episode, but I suppose it was necessary.
One thing I will certainly never miss is the constant "yeah?" "Yeah?" "yeah?" that all the characters add to the end of every sentence. That's so jarring. Do people really talk like that?
I actually love the “Yeah?”
It was very interesting to watch a documentary on the Murdoch's and they show footage of when Murdoch was addressing the staff at one of his newspapers, and he is there standing on the boxes of paper They really did take some exact moments in time and recreate them for the show.How ironic that Rupert Murdoch (Succession started out as "The Murdochs" based on the Murdoch family dynasty but was fictionalized before production) has outlived this show, and still as chairman of News Corp.
Ken was my biggest disappointment
