Succession’s Season 3 finale opens with a family session of Monopoly, a game that offers the perfect summary of the show: Players fight to be the last one standing—trading advantages and risking jail—going around the board over and over without a clear end in sight. But with the season’s exhilarating ending, has the game of Succession finally changed?
So far, each season has followed a different Roy sibling as likely successor: first Kendall, then Shiv, and now Roman. With that third season now over, how does Roman’s time as the Number One Boy stack up? And with Kendall as the show’s bloody beating heart, is every season fundamentally about him?
Sophie Gilbert, Hannah Giorgis, and Megan Garber discuss Tom, Shiv, and all the players in the Game of Roys. They also answer which Succession character they’d want to be stuck on a desert island with. (Note: the correct answer is Greg, the only one tall enough to reach the coconuts.)
