What’s the deal with Living +? From what we normies understand about business deals on ‘Succession,’ everything appears to be a dog and pony show. Most of it means nothing, fairy dust sprayed into our eyes. But we buy it since we all need to dream a dream. Kendall and Roman are also preparing to sell the investors a new dream in the shape of Living +.
Lukas keeps causing problems and being the worst human being in the world. Sioban subtly plays the double agent, reconnecting with Tom for a moment. All in all, Kendall prepares for the big presentation for the investor’s day. Given Kendall’s history of cringe-worthy stage performances, prepare to be dazzled and worried.

‘Succession’ Season 4: What Is The Living + Business Plan?
Before his death, the Big Turk was planning to launch Living +. Said to be an assisted living home with cutting-edge technology, Living+ is the future by way of the Roys. Of course, with Logan’s (Brian Cox) death, mortality is on everyone’s mind. Going ahead with his venture is Kendall’s (Jeremy Strong) and Roman’s (Kieran Culkin) way of dealing with their dad’s passing. Meanwhile, Siobhan (Sarah Snook) leans on Tom (Matthew Macfadyen). She also learns how the negotiation went down between her brothers and Matsson. Power corrupts the brothers, and the three aren’t siblings anymore.
Back to Living +, the Roys seek to build gated communities. It’s the whole package deal, beautiful and safe homes with an immersive experience of Waystar’s media and streaming services. The dream is to live forever, sedated by the luxury of futuristic healthcare technology and entertainment available at the palm of your hands. But does the dream find its buyer?

‘Succession’ Season 4: Kendall’s Presentation Is A Huge Success
Hooked at the dream, Kendall does everything he can to make the presentation successful. He even resorts to tiptoeing around the usual pretentious corporate lingo and pumping up the numbers by being despotic. Meanwhile, Lukas (Alexander Skarsgård) tries to call it off through Siobhan. While Kendall is trying to present the new venture to the investors haphazardly, Lukas tries to sabotage the presentation.
We’d like to believe that offensive Nazi tweets are the lowest of the low blows, but Lukas does what he does. Despite being thrown off, Kendall’s confidence emphatically picks up. At the end of the speech, the WayStar stock balloons up. Despite the fumble, he makes the touchdown. But Roman is out of control, quickly firing Joy Palmer (Annabeth Gish) WayStar’s head of film division, and Gerri (J. Smith-Cameron). Someone’s enjoying being the king too much. But as Gerri pointed out, Roman is a “weak monarch” and will likely fall sooner or later.
