Sukcesja - Série 4

It was clear that I would give a five-star rating to this season after the third episode, although I wasn't fully aware of it at the time. I was worried that the creators had peaked too soon with that episode, setting up a potential decline for the rest of the season. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had underestimated them. The entire series maintained high quality, culminating in a satisfying finale. While there may be flaws if I were to nitpick, I am so satisfied overall that I don't feel the need to dwell on them. / Lesson learned: The worst person you can encounter in life is not an idiot; it is an ambitious coward.

Who will take the throne? A toxic visionary, a small fry, daddy's little girl, or will daddy give up on his futile offspring for good and give his kingdom to a Norseman? Fortunately, right at the beginning of the season, the cards are shuffled perfectly, avoiding further etudes of endless scheming, which is not missing this time, but takes place in a completely different context than before. The characters have come a long way since the beginning. Some have wised up, some have learned the mythical art of "corporate slalom" and some have made the arduous journey only to realize that they simply cannot change. In short, the final season culminates deserving a proud alongside Breaking Bad in the category of best series endings of all time. (13.06.2023)

The wildest season of the series with several over-the-top twists, indiscriminately fantastically staged, and a shocking finale, ending with the most gruesome vote in corporate history, with a perfect punchline that makes clear sense and, dare I say, couldn't have fit together any better. A screenwriting masterclass. (20.04.2024)
