Today’s top TV and streaming picks: Family feuding prevails in Succession, Daniel Craig in No Time To Die and spy series Citadel







Fancy a night in with some telly? We’ve got you covered.
Succession
Sky Atlantic, 9pm
For the first two episodes of this fourth and final season of Jesse Armstrong’s multi-awarding winning drama, things all felt a bit ho-hum. The Roy family were bickering publicly about the proposed sale of the company to European social media giant GoJo, Logan was swearing a lot, and the whole thing seemed to be treading water. Now we know why. The sudden death of Logan aboard a private jet in episode three was a brilliantly orchestrated bombshell, all the more telling because after all his blustering, all his bullying, the great man expired off-screen with a whimper, not a bang, as people tend to, leaving his children with no one to love, no one to hate. And in episode four the gloves were off, as the battle for succession began in earnest. It’s all very Shakespearean, with Logan as King Lear, Kendall as Hamlet, Shiv a combination of Goneril and Regan, and Roman as Lear’s “all-licensed fool”. That would make Tom and Greg the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern of the piece, and their frantic search for a seat in the game of musical chairs unleashed by Logan’s death has been hilarious. And time and again, Armstrong nudges you towards caring for those awful, entitled Roys, then reveals their unchanging ghastliness. Kendall, for instance, does a wonderful impression of a spaniel with a thorn in its paw, but may be the most ruthless of the lot.

Prime Video, streaming now
Citadel is a global spy agency that’s fallen, with most of its agents’ memories wiped clean. Now, a powerful syndicate, Manticore, is rising in the vacuum. Of course, nobody would know about any of this if it weren’t for Stanley Tucci. He’s taken a break from eating in every corner of Italy to play a seemingly suspicious agency leader, intent on getting very attractive agents back together. With Richard Madden.
