re: Succession Alert

I love this show and enjoy listening to several different recap podcasts about it. But I feel like when it comes to Shiv in particular, I just don’t see what they see. Some of them talk about her as the flawed heroine of the whole thing and it seems like we’re not watching the same show.

I like the character and the actress has done a great job but the show is telling us she’s just as irredeemable as the rest of them.

In my opinion, Logan was a legend but a monster, the Roy boys are ultimately posers at best but are criminals/broken men in reality. But Shiv might be worse, because she’s just as clueless from a C-Suite leadership perspective but is completely sanctimonious and superior to such an irredeemable point that she’s incapable of ever noticing she’s the most inexperienced and ghoulish person in her world.
