In Succession - Which Side Are You On?, Season 1 Episode 6

Episode by episode, series by series

And at last it’s here. Forget Ali vs Frasier, Godzilla vs Rodan and/or Joan Crawford vs Bette Davies - this is Logan Roy vs Kendall Roy. And there can only be one winner.

Which is, of course, Logan. Any other result and Succession would’ve rapidly transformed into a very different, arguably far less interesting series. A young swashbuckling billionaire? Bobby Axelrod’s already got that base covered. And as I’ve said elsewhere, whatever the merits of Billions, it remains very small beer when viewed alongside Jesse Armstrong’s masterpiece.

Before we get to the big showdown, Which Side Are You On? does something that’s pretty rare for Succession; which is to say, we actually encounter someone enjoying their money. Unsurprisingly, the person in question is Greg, the one member of the Roy clan who’s a stranger to wealth which, when combined with his having had to spend his first month with the company living in a hostel and eating leftovers, means he’s practically glowing come payday.
