In part 2, Erin and Elizabeth, look at the Roy family’s connections to the Murdochs and Kennedys, before diving deeper into the show's final season. We look more at Siobhan, and Tom as her masochistic dog to kick, the legacy of NRPIs in a family where love goes to die, and the ceaseless game of “stop hitting yourself” that is getting a narcissist parent to grant you the memory of “the slant of the light.” We also hear from New York magazine contributor Hunter Harris, who profiled the Succession cast for a 2021 cover story and has written extensively about the show for Vulture.com as well as in her incredible Hung Up newsletter. Harris breaks down the connection between Tom Wambsgans and Chris Licht, the recently fired doofy CEO of CNN --whose year-long tenure at the network was a hamster wheel of failure--as well as the weak-willed self-centeredness of number one boy, and number one loser, Kendall.
