I thought the last episode was fine, and I hope they don’t do another season. It felt like they were getting ready

They won’t do another season. A spin off is possible. I’d watch a Roy Kent show

Good thoughts. But there are 2 story arcs that could completely be omitted

I don’t mind either arc. I really don’t understand the hate. And Keeley was a

I thought Keely was very likable. Juno Temple did a great job with her character.

I think that’s true. But I don’t think that Succession was about money.
