TV Deaths

Logan Roy on Succession

HBO

The great one almost died in the very first episode of the show, and in a way, it’s sad that he didn’t — when Succession started, Logan Roy (Bryan Cox) was on at least decent terms with all of his children. By his final appearance, he treated them like chess pieces he considered unclean. His final acts were to skip one son’s wedding while ordering another to do his dirty work — for fun.

His death joins the pantheon of the most logical TV deaths — and yet it was still one of the most surprising, thanks to the extraordinary writing on Succession, which also pulled off one of TV’s greatest finales.
