Entertainment – Waystar CEO At The End Of Season 4
Each episode of Succession Season 4 will air on HBO on Sunday nights at 9:00 PM EST, and will be available to stream on HBO Max at the same time. So that means the next episode will air on Sunday, May 21, 2023, at 9:00 EST.
Succession is an American satirical black comedy-drama television series created by Jesse Armstrong. It premiered on June 3, 2018, on HBO. The series centers on the Roy family, the owners of Waystar RoyCo, a global media and entertainment conglomerate, who are fighting for control of the company amid uncertainty about the health of the family’s patriarch, Logan Roy (Brian Cox). The series’ fourth and final season premiered on March 26, 2023.
Betting Talk and Picks:
All the Succession finales are named after lines in a poem by John Berryman called Dream Song 29. This year’s finale is “With Open Eyes.”
The poem is about a man (Henry) who is wracked with all-consuming guilt because he thinks he killed someone. He compulsively checks for evidence of this killing but finds that “no one is ever missing” which is also the title of the season one finale. So Henry is haunted by death.
Kendall Roy killed a waiter, which is the obvious parallel. He was also accused by Tom of killing Logan in a roundabout way by forcing him to fly to Sweden. This seems like it could be a more telling reference, since Logan remains an inescapable presence even in death (they even created a Logan hologram of sorts). Hence “no one is ever missing.”
This season’s finale “With Open Eyes” is drawn from the line, “ghastly, with open eyes, he attends, blind.” Kendall’s eyes are open to the moves he needs to make to win but he’s blind to the carnage he is causing, unleashing fascism, destroying his family, all to blindly follow Logan’s lead.
So in the end a haunted Kendall gets what he wants (to follow in Logan’s footsteps) but he destroys his soul and possibly the country in doing so.
So Kendall Roy @ +150 is our pick for CEO . Roman, Greg, Connor — not a chance.
Of course, they could pull a King Lear and have the heirs die and an outsider take over. So definitely hedge with Gerri at +4000.
Bold Calls: Not For The Faint Hearted!
Gojo acquires Waystar. Gerri as CEO. Mencken humiliates and betrays Roman. Roman suicide. Shiv and Ken step away from Logan’s malignant and crumbling empire in horror and with clarity after Roman’s death.
Specials we would like to see are:
-Last character to say ‘fuck off’
-Whether a character dies in finale
-An O/U on the actual bid of Waystar/Gojo
-CEO exacta combos (like Kendall-Roman or Greg-Tom co-ceos
So like us enjoy and let’s try making some money off the TV.
