Ranking the Roy Kids by Who Should Have Been the Succesor (Tv)

By

   Succession is one of the most nuanced and quite frankly fun shows to come out in the last 20 years. Now that it has been in the rearview mirror for over a year let’s rank the 4 Roy kids based on which should have been the successor by series end. Yes, Connor gets to be on this list too. So let’s rank the back stabbing, wisecracking, power hungry kids we have all grown to hate to love over the years. Without further ado the Quad Culture Succession hierarchy we hope Logan Roy would have loved but probably wouldn’t have.


4: Connor Roy

Despite his potential 1% had he stayed in the presidential race Connor is the least cut throat and has the least knowledge of the business. In a lot of the ways he is the least like his father or pop as he calls him and while in most cases this is a good thing in the case of the business Connor is thoroughly behind his three half siblings. Also the arranged marriage with a prostitute just is not a good look for the CEO of a major media company, right? 


3: Roman Roy

I was rather shocked when I slotted Roman at three. There are distinct parts of this series where I distinctly think he could and should have been CEO. However the impulsiveness and honestly brazenness of Roman inevitably would always lead to his failure. In his brief time as co-CEO with his brother he basically creates 2 massive lawsuits by firing two high level employees one of which being Jerry who might be the best at her job of everyone on the show. Not to mention the man is a HR nightmare.


2: Siobhan Roy

Shiv is the queen of the castle and in many ways the most stable force for the company. The company likely could have and would have been hers had she been patient. At the end of the day experience has to matter and Shiv was simply not interested in taking the time to acquire it. A fashion icon nonetheless though. 


1: Kendall Roy

The self proclaimed “oldest boy” is not without his problems but he questionably wants it the most and is willing to do whatever to guarantee the success of the company if he is leading it. His experience is also the most of the kids which is a big factor. I do wonder if that story when he was seven was true though. 


So Kendall wins our hypothetical Roy battle for succession of the company but here's the thing that’s a terrible option because as much as I have grown to love these kids over the last 39 episodes they as Logan so eloquently put “are not serious people.”

Taylor Swift Albums Ranked

By
If you have come here because you read the title of this article and are a die hard Taylor Swift fan ready to defend your favorite songs that didn’t make the list, you’ve come to the right place. Let me preface your reading experience by first saying that I have always been one to have a few unpopular opinions and I am subject to bias (who isn’t about something so close to your heart?). I have favorite albums and albums that have been clouded by my sister overplaying two songs from it that have led to its untimely grade in my overall ranking of Taylor Swift albums. Feel free to disagree. Or agree. But first, let me explain why this article has been placed in oh-so-capable hands. My sister and I have been Taylor Swift fans since her debut album (one ‘Taylor Swift’) was released in 2006. We listened to it obsessively on our bubblegum pink Hello Kitty CD player on a continuous loop. Times haven’t changed much; now we just listen to the Tortured Poet’s Society and 1989 (Taylor’s Version) o...

Taylor Swift's best, "All Too Well" (Music)

By
Whether you like it or not Taylor Swift is likely the most prolific artist of her time. The stats and quotes that affirm this take could be said but that's likely unnecessary window dressing for the overall point. Swift not only boasts a number of impressive sales but she has done it while tweaking her style, some may say constantly growing. Yes it’s fair to admit she is not making astronomical shifts but she is making noticeable ones throughout her nearly 20 year career. Swift has had many hits in this time covering a wide range of topics. However for many there is one song that stands out above the rest, her 2012 hit “All Too Well” from the famous album Red . For the purposes of this article we won’t be discussing the 2012 original or the 2021, 10 minute version of the song that was accompanied by a music video directed by Swift herself. We will be focusing on the re-release of the song from the Taylor’s Version of the album Red . This song is specifically interesting not onl...
