Make yourself a snack with whatever it’s possible for you to find notPeters cheese!
and settle in forthe series-finaleedition of ourSuccessionpower rankings.
1.Matsson
1.
He outmaneuvered everybody without even having to trade his turtleneck for a tie.
This offends me both spiritually and sartorially, but I have to give the No.
2.Gerri
2.
Bonus points for her limerick delivery in that old video of Logan.
3.Tom
3.
I wrestled with putting Tom this high.
Is power really power if the only way to acquire it is being a self-described shit-gobbler?
Toms pitch for himself is that he is a worrier with a worrisome tolerance for pain.
By this reckoning, Tom is in the top three.
He ends the series with his wife at his side.
Its a chilly reception, and Id hardly call that a handhold (more of a light graze?
but perhaps she will warm to the, uh, convenience of being married to her husband.
4.Mencken
4.
5.Shiv
5.
I love thinking about when Matsson decided he wasnt going with Shiv after all.
Was he ever serious about her?
(Id imagine Roman feels the same way.)
In even sadder news, Kendall will probably never forgive her.
At least we got in one last sweet sibling hang before they burned that bridge for good!
6.The choral version of theSuccessiontheme that plays over the end credits
6.
The Roy children are not serious people, butNicholas Britell sure is.
7.Greg
7.
Hes got you, Greg.
8.Karolina
8.
9.Stewy
9.
Stewy thinks that liking weird sex and bad drugs makes him a complex individual.
10.Connor
10.
Yet again, Kendall erases him as the eldest son, butIwont forget his status!
He does an excellent impression of his dad singing Im a Little Teapot.
The thought he put into this whole sticker-perambulation project is actually kind of … moving?
The finale is making me soft and weak.
Logan would never approve but whatever!
11.The ghost of Logan Roy
11.
12.Willa
12.
God bless this savvy little social climber.
13.Roman
13.
Im genuinely relieved he made it out of the series alive.
14.Caroline
14.
Nobody listens to her in the moment, but I think she was right!
Also, very powerful maternal manipulation to get her kids to flock to her house.
15.Kendall
15.
I doubt he sees it that way yet.
Will that late-in-the-game lie about the confession as a ploy send him spiraling again?
I will be worrying about this poor little rich boy for the rest of my days!
16.Frank and Karl
16.
Ride out on those golden parachutes, boys.
Tom doesnt see a use for you anymore.
17.Kerry
17.
Im glad shell have some mementos to take on the subway back to her apartment.
18.Hugo
18.
So much for Kendalls million-dollar table scraps!
19.Peter
19.
Enjoy that cheese, Peter!
20.The contents of Carolines kitchen
20.
And dont eventhinkabout touching Peters special cheese!
