Writing about The Show 's potential legacy, the made The Point : " Succession always has been about the membership of its audience, not its size, and its popularity among the coastal media and agenda-setting groups that The Show depicts and attracts means the finale will likely leave a cultural mark. "

It was a " brilliant family nightmare" according to, who called it " a sublime end to a sublime television show" while added: " Indefinite, astute and staunchly uncompromising to the very end. Succession is The Best television series ever made. "

Several critics talked about how much they enjoyed watching The Show , despite its hard-hitting content.

Writing in Said the " satire's brutal and beautiful end proves pure palace intrigue".

" It was delicious to watch, " He Said , adding: " This very satisfying ender was penned by Armstrong in a testament to the true power of The Word and the ones who bring it to page. "

The Said it " came to a fitting end with a perfectly painful finale" with a " compelling and cathartic conclusion to A Story that will be difficult to match".

: " It's exactly The Right finale for this show, I think. What can I say? It's one of my favourite shows ever. Brilliantly acted, written, directed. . and a lot of fun to talk about. "

" Part of The Magic and mystery of Succession is how a show devoted to such reprehensible people could be so enjoyable, " wrote.

" It was As If The Show 's creator, Jesse Armstrong , held a mirror up to our decayed society and told us, reassuringly, 'I see you,'. "
