“Here Be No Monsters,” my essay on the Succession finale for In These Times

I wrote about the Succession finale for In These Times. Many thanks to Jessica Stites for noting that I was watching the show, Sherell Barbee for suggesting I write about it, and Ari Bloomekatz for editing the piece (we were both up till the wee hours working on this, and the experience confirmed my view that editing with the right people is always a joy).

You can read the essay here.
