180 Best 'Succession' Quotes and Insults

Succession has come to an end, and though star Jeremy Strong believes it's a tragedy — which, depending on your opinions of the possibility of redemption, could be true — for many, it's a comedy: The show satirizes the tragedy that the characters, spawned by Logan Roy (Brian Cox), bring upon themselves and those closest to them. Because they're not serious people!

The HBO smash is going to really be missed (shout out to all the fans who want to fix Roman Roy!), but these biting and hilarious Succession quotes and Succession insults will live on forever.
