"Babygirl Kendall Roy Is All Apart": The End of Succession’s 3rd Season

***This episode contains spoilers for Succession and Traitors (season four).--In 2018, HBO premiered Succession, introducing us to the Roy family who control Waystar Royco, one of the largest and most powerful media companies in the world. The tension starting with that first episode is that Logan — the founder of Royco and the patriarch of the family — is turning 80 and expected to announce his retirement and successor. That question of who will take over the company when he steps down drives the entire four-season series. The show was nominated for 75 Emmys for acting, directing, editing, casting, sound mixing and more, and it ended up winning 19.  Mallika and Rachel unpack the cultural impact of Succession and, specifically, the excellent season three finale. –30 Sec: Our life this week as a season finale 4 Min: What we’re watching this week (Bridgerton, Industry, Wuthering Heights, Love is Blind, Traitors)21 Min: The latest TV news (The Real Housewives’ new home, Leighton Meester’s cancelled show26 Min: Introducing Succession 38 Min: One-minute season one-three recap 39 Min: Season three overview 46 Min: Breaking down season three finale 1 Hour 10 Min: Why this finale works so well 1 Hour 12 Min: What didn’t work for us 1 Hour 13 Min: Favorite and least favorite lines  1 Hour 19 Min: Our finale ranking
