Spoiler warning: This article contains spoilers for the entirety of “Succession” Season 3, Episode 6.
It’s no secret that “Succession” is inspired by the Murdoch family, from its public feuds to its Fox News parody ATN. Yet the show has never extensively covered the media dynasty’s connection to the Republican Party – that is, until now.
On last week’s episode of “Succession,” Logan’s (Brian Cox) health emergency, negotiation whiplash and Kendall’s (Jeremy Strong) hijacking of the shareholder conference unleashed a swirling vortex of chaos. Episode 6, titled “What It Takes,” picks up after the dust has settled.
Cue the trumpets: It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, and Logan Roy is feeling good.
