Succession season 1-4 spoilers below
Succession’s finale, which aired early on Monday morning, was everything that fans had hoped for.
The 90-minute episode provided non-stop drama, some deeply emotional exchanges, insults and rude lines a-plenty, backstabbing, moments of hope, moments of tragedy, and a conclusion which made perfect sense – and yet was somehow utterly shocking.
Both #Successionfinal and #Shiv were trending on Twitter on Monday, as fans turned online to share their emotions about the final – ever – episode of the show.
Here is our pick of some of the best reactions to episode ten, titled With Open Eyes.
On the whole, fans thought the finale lived up to its potential
The #Succession finale was perfect in that I’m seething with rage and unsatisfied as fuck and yet every decision made complete dramatic and thematic sense pic.twitter.com/Rgoy72gQ3o

Still thinking about that Succession finale, can’t believe they stuck the landing with so many moving parts and produced probably one of the best episodes of the entire series.

Kendall/Roman/Shiv are some of the most interesting and complex characters in TV history.
Though there were a few people who were disappointed

This is a dark end for Shiv but not necessarily an unstrategic one. She kept the control of the company in *her* family & chose the more stable, less damaged CEO. She was cold but calculated. #Succession #SuccessionHBO pic.twitter.com/HJTVawnhvU

There was some thought-provoking commentary
the point jesse made about the show stopping because this is when the narrative stops caring about them— when they’ve lost the company— but their lives continue on, made me pause and think for a long time. https://t.co/YL1rfE0rmH

shiv turned into her mother, kendall is a cog with no machine, and Roman is a beaten little boy who cries!! Their own personal nightmare versions of themselves!!!!!

Kendall deliberately making Roman’s stitches to rupture, making it look like an act of kindness at first, was one of the most scariest, heart wrenching and fucked up scenes out of the whole show for me. Made my skin crawl. Just awful. #Succession pic.twitter.com/ZImtoaW9TB
