'Succession' Goes Full Woke: Even in Death, Logan Roy Can't Catch a Break from the Libs
Daddy's dead, but the woke mob still gotta cancel him – even in the f***ing obituary.

NEW YORK — Okay, Zoomers, listen up. The latest episode of HBO's 'Succession,' titled 'Honeymoon States,' dropped, and it's basically the Roy family doing the Succession Shuffle over Logan's freshly dug grave. Surprise, surprise, the guy's barely cold, and the vultures are already circling. It's like Thanksgiving dinner, but with more backstabbing and fewer mashed potatoes. Logan’s dead and the kids are already battling for the throne. Shiv is playing the girlboss card, Kendall is reliving his daddy issues, and Roman is just being Roman – which is to say, kinda creepy and definitely hilarious. Also, Marcia is back, serving looks and cashing checks. Based queen. Meanwhile, Kerri got the boot faster than you can say 'another suitcase in another hall'. The episode confirmed one thing: these people are richer than God and twice as dysfunctional.
The “dark humor” is basically just rich people problems played for laughs. Shiv reading Logan’s obituary and saying “Dad sounds amazing. I would like to have met Dad” is peak “I hate my dad but also want his money.” Then you have Kendall and Roman hilariously 'translating' the obituary, with “a man of his time” conveniently meaning “racist.” The woke is strong with this one. Are we really pretending that every single person from the Greatest Generation is evil? What about their contributions to this country? The real joke is the Waystar Royco executives fumbling over Logan’s handwritten notes, debating whether to flush them down the toilet. You just know they’re all praying for a clean slate so they can secure their golden parachutes. It's the swamp, baby, and it's draining itself! ...kinda.
Kendall, bless his tortured soul, has a moment of self-awareness, whining to Frank about how his dad made him hate him and now he feels bad. Cry me a river, Ken. You're still a billionaire. The real kicker is the PR team scrambling to spin Logan’s legacy. Suddenly, he’s a senile old coot who barely had anything to do with Waystar Royco in his later years. Talk about erasing history. But, hey, anything to boost the stock price, right? Kendall, channeling his inner Logan, approves the smear campaign. He is his father's son after all.
Of course, the sibling harmony from last episode is already falling apart. Shiv gets sidelined in the CEO plan because, well, she's a woman in a man's world (allegedly). Trust doesn’t exist in this family, and Shiv's “I need to wet my beak” line is basically a declaration of war. The episode ends with Kendall fully embracing his inner ruthless capitalist, just like his dad. “Succession” is still the funniest show on TV, even if it's trying a little too hard to be woke. The only thing more entertaining than watching these people destroy each other is knowing that, at the end of the day, they'll all still be richer than you. It's a good reminder that the elites are all the same. Doesn't matter what news channel you're watching, these are the people who truly run the world.
'Succession' continues to expose the ridiculousness of the ultra-rich and their constant power struggles. The death of Logan Roy is just the beginning of the chaos, as the Roy siblings and their associates continue to fight for control of the family empire. As long as there are billionaires to mock, 'Succession' will be relevant. The next episodes promise more drama, backstabbing, and woke-pandering from the Roy family, which will keep us entertained...for now.
