One of the most Shakespearean moments of the Succession finale is the tragic singing of Robert Burns "Green Grow the Rashes" -- there's always a somber rustic tune before the bloodbath.
The mock crowning ritual where they're all just kids in their mother's kitchen-- truly a sublime work of art, I don't think a television show has had better writing than this.
There's tons of direct allusions to Shakespeare throughout, & it strikes a truly Shakespearean tone of tragic-comedy -- the dialogue is masterful in its psychological realism, each character having idiosyncratic speech patterns which are not "stereotyped"
It will be a joy to rewatch now that its conclusion is solidified. It's a perfect ending, all the seeds are planted from episode one & it all comes to fruition. It really feels "fully fleshed out" & not at all like most shows where you can tell they're "making it up as they go"
