Not to once again harp on the Sopranos but the structure of the final season of the Sopranos is very much Part 1: the characters have one last opportunity to self-reflect and change as people and minimize their tragic fates. Part 2: they very much did not do that and now we get to see the consequences in all their horrific glory. And tbh I think it's pretty clear to me atp that Succession is doing much the same thing, just on a tighter timeline. In the first two episodes the sibs are working together and being honest with each other and they're buying PGN in an attempt to get out. In episode 4 they find the paper and that's the beginning of the end. It's too late for them after that. Kendall becomes CEO and Shiv gets into bed with Matsson and Roman fires Gerri and they all do it because they think it's what Logan would do and after that point there's no coming back for them. The tragedy is in full swing and all we can do is watch in horror as it unfolds
