Our little gang is watching the last episode of Succession tonight. (No spoilers please!) What are some good videos or articles that we could read or watch to spur on our discussion of the ending and the series as a whole, after tonight's viewing?

The official HBO Succession podcast, hosted by Kara Swisher, is excellent. They have access to cast members, writers, and show runners. Check it out.

Dr. Ramini has a great series breaking down Season 4 episodes through the lens of narcissism.

That interview with Strong also contains an incredible link to a Jesse Armstrong piece in the Grauniad about the show's origins, to the extent that the ending puts the beginning into perspective.

The Prestige TV podcast did two episodes. The first one was an immediate reaction - I preferred the second one, which felt more thoughtful and has a great interview with Mark Mylod.

Do you have access to NYT? I really enjoyed:

When it comes to the high-powered Roy dynasty, food is for the weak and striving.

Patriarchy, Shiv and [light spoiler]


NPR had good coverage, too!

Loved this finale recap.

We ask the creator of 'Succession' everything you wanted to know about the finale
