Ethan and Talia discuss episode 8 of the fourth and final season of HBOs series Succession: America Decides. Including: how the writers have used the comedy of the series to make the anguish of this episode all the more distressing; our blindness to Roman’s true fascist nature; and Ethan doubles-down on Talia’s theory on the implications of the series’ title, and its meaning of (non-)succession for US democracy.
