I'm sad to hear Succession is ending after its upcoming fourth season but I believe Jesse Armstrong is making the right choice to end the series on a season that's "muscular and complete, and go out strong" instead of milking the show to death. What do you think - is it the right decision?

It’s hard to see a great show go but for some shows it’s only made them more culturally significant like The Wire, Breaking Bad and Ozark. There’s something to going out on top and leaving your audience wanting more.

I literally sunk last night when I found out. Such a brilliant example of writing, character, acting. It's going to be a huge loss. I have 2 other resources to share on Succession:
1) a hilarious creator duo who does Succession parodies: https://www.instagram.com/p/ClC6AAajrog/
2) Jeremy Strong's GQ article: https://www.gq.com/story/jeremy-strong-march-cover-profile

Couldn’t agree more. Bums me out a little, but it’s far better than seeing the show go stale.
One hundred percent agree Sam and Owen.
LOVE those parodies Amanda - could not stop laughing. He does the voices of Tom and Kendall so well! Jeremy's GQ article is fantastic- it’s the rare celebrity profile that enhanced my enjoyment of the show. That Strong is hardcore method on set, to the likely annoyance of his fellow cast-mates, is some bizarro parallel to the way Kendall drives the rest of the Roy clan insane.

So glad you liked the parodies Sam Mannetti! I watched all of them in a straight binge - so spot on! And, that GQ article was great - that writer was a stellar journalist. Painted such a great portrait of him with his idiosyncrasies.
