Critic's Notebook: HBO's Succession gets bigger, better and more nuanced in season 2
succeeds more than in how it makes mostly unlikeable family members open to fleeting stretches of viewer compassion, a particularly keen feat because they treat each other and virtually all the people they meet so shabbily. The more you watch, the more inconceivable this trick seems. Just when you want one member of the Roy family to extend the brief interludes of their best but faintest qualities they invariably self-immolate and let you down.
The two obvious examples are Sarah Snook's Siobhan Roy and her husband, the hilariously weasel-y Tom Wamsgans . Shiv, as she's perfectly known, spent most of season one adroitly positioned outside of the bloody infighting. The series concept is that the Roys are all lined up, like bitter little spoiled kids, behind their larger-than-life father, Logan Roy , head of the Waystar Royco media and entertainment conglomerate that he runs with an iron fist and a blood-thirst for acquisitions.
As season two progresses, we will see Macfadyen give the obsequious Tom a little more backbone and a new, infinitesimally noticeable hint of compassion may arise as the Waystar Royco company hits turbulence. Let's not forget that in all the jovial moments with Tom, the sharks in the Roy family — including his own wife, Shiv — had zero qualms about setting him up as a patsy.
