History Series / Succession

** [[spoiler:At Logan's wake,]] political donor Ron Petkus makes a toast. Tom spends the entire toast making snarky comments about [[spoiler:Logan's UndignifiedDeath]] to Greg, but acts like Greg's joke is in bad taste as soon Greg tries to join in.

* BirthdayEpisode: "Celebration" and "Too Much Birthday".

* DudeNotFunny: [[spoiler:At Logan's wake,]] political donor Ron Petkus makes a toast. Tom spends the entire toast making snarky comments about [[spoiler:Logan's UndignifiedDeath]] to Greg, but acts like Greg's joke is in bad taste as soon Greg tries to join in.

* InVinoVeritas:
** Kendall is so tightly wound and afraid most of the time that he only can say how he really feels if he’s utterly wasted.
** Roman takes several Vaulter employees out drinking so they will get drunk and spill their guts about the company. When he learns they plan to unionize, it's the final nail in the coffin for Vaulter.
** Trying to sniff out who betrayed him in “Hunting”, Logan encourages everyone to drink more and stay in the room, as that might get tongues loosened.

* DrowningMySorrows: Kendall falls off the wagon after [[spoiler:his vote of no confidence fails]].

* FourTemperamentEnsemble: "Emotional stability" is very relative on this show, but the four Roy siblings broadly fit into this, with Shiv being sanguine, Roman choleric, Kendall melancholic and Connor phlegmatic.

** Greg compares the excitement of the Season 3 premiere to the O.J. Simpsons trial, except if he didn't kill someone. Kendall jokes "who says I haven't killed someone?" - of course, he secretly still holds himself responsible for the death of Andrew Dodds.

** In "Celebration", Kendall goes on a tirade about giving board seats to Marcia and accuses her of being a GoldDigger in an extremely vulgar manner, only to realize Marcia was right outside the door on her way to tell them dinner is ready.

** The other siblings jab at Connor for "dating" a call girl who appears to be no more than half his age. Connor labors on the delusion that their arrangement will surely become an actual romance even though she clearly dislikes him. When they actually do get married in season for, Connor expresses hesitation and notes that she's so much younger than him.

* ImStandingRightHere: In “Hunting”, when Logan is insulting Frank about his trophy girlfriend “sucking some waiter’s dick in Palermo”, Kendall twitches. Considering Logan’s later taunting that Kendall fucked the waiter he later killed, he probably knows full well what he’s doing, though Frank asks Kendall what the hell is going on.

* CallBack: In “The Disruption”, Shiv and Kendall reverse “Safe Room”. While she doesn’t know she’s broken yet, he recognises that she’s in his position from the last season and feels sorry for her (while also being glad that it’s not him anymore).

* CountryMatters: Kendall directs the word at Shiv in the series finale.

* FalseFlag: Roman claims any bad behavior from Mencken supporters on election day is just the other side doing a false flag.
