There’s a lot of TV out there. We want to help: Every week, we’ll tell you the best and most urgent shows to stream so you can stay on top of the ever-expanding heap of Peak TV. And as unlikely as a win always was, another loss could still be upsetting for the recently bereaved failson, who was so interested in politics at a very young age. We haven’t heard how Logan’s death has affected Conn’s polling numbers, but I don’t think there’s a sympathy bump big enough to push the 1 percenter much higher than 1 percent. Even so, I’m most concerned for their eldest sibling. The Roys’ riches insulate them from truly feeling the effects of either candidate’s policies, but Shiv, Roman, and Kendall can clash over their political ties, and the fact that ATN’s role in the presidential race is shaping up to be a big part of Succession’s endgame suggests that Shiv and Roman won’t be doing “the huggy thing” on election night. As far as the show goes, Mencken and Jimenez matter only insofar as they affect the characters we care about (or, at least, are accustomed to seeing on-screen). Nor have we met the Democratic nominee, Daniel Jimenez. To be honest, the election has been far from my mind because Jeryd Mencken has been far from sight: His scenes from the trailer were seemingly cut from Episode 4, which means we haven’t seen him in the flesh for a full season. ![]() Who has the most at stake in this election, and why?īen Lindbergh: The American people? Just kidding-no one on Succession gives a flying fuck about them. The burning question heading into Episode 7: The Roy family is preparing to host a “tailgate party” ahead of the presidential election. What can we expect from Episode 7? Read along as we examine one burning question heading into the next chapter of Succession ’s final season. It was a definitive end and not a happy one for everyone, but it wasn’t one that Matt Nix, the show’s creator should be ashamed of.It’s Friday, which means Succession ’s newest installment is around the corner. The groundwork for a possible spin-off with Axe and Porter was also laid (do it, USA Network. I used to be a spy” which is total fan service, but it worked.ĭid it redeem itself? For a little bit towards the end, it looked like the nuclear option had been chosen, but Westen and Glenanne avoided death and wound up together in a new place to raise Westen’s nephew. The writers also made callbacks to some of the more famous lines from the show, with Bruce Campbell’s Axe saying his “spies are a bunch of b-y girls” and Fiona sort of reprising his opening line: “My name is Michael Westen. Sharon Gless, Jeffrey Donovan and Coby Bell all handled those scenes really well. It was a redemption of sorts for Maddie, who had let both Westen and his brother, Nate, be abused by their father growing up, Despite my dislike of how the season had gone, I found my living room to be very dusty, despite my having vacuumed earlier. The most touching part was the goodbye call between Westen and his mother, Maddie, who was about to sacrifice herself to give him a chance against his nemesis, James Kendrick, the terrorist leader. The show attempted to redeem itself very quickly in this episode, with Westen snapping back to his normal self very quickly and reuniting with his crew, Fiona Glenanne, Sam Axe and Jesse Porter and got them figuring out how to extricate themselves from the mess they were in: both the CIA and a terrorist organization after them. Heck, they had even stopped doing the captions like “Steve Austin… The Bad Guy.” Instead, they had Westen go undercover and into a very deep, dark place. I disliked how this season had gone in terms of plot, what with them straying away from the formula of Michael Westen and his crew helping out people in trouble. Be warned though, I’m going to go into spoiler-heavy details, so if you haven’t seen the episode, stop now, watch it and then come back.
