This article analyzes HBO’s Succession through the Narrative Paradigm (Fisher, 1984, 1985, 1989), Co-Cultural theory (Orbe 1998; Razzante & Orbe, 2018; Razzante, et al., 2021), and Dominant Group theory (Razzante & Orbe 2018; Razzante et al., 2021) to examine its portrayal of power dynamics and identity conflicts. The series probes the Roy family’s multibillion-dollar company, uncovering problems such as familial dysfunction, corporate greed, and systemic privilege. Using Walter Fisher’s Narrative Paradigm, the examination emphasizes how the Roy family creates narratives to maintain control. Mark Orbe’s Co-Cultural theory and Robert Razzante’s Dominant Group theory analyze Siobhan “Shiv” Roy’s navigation of gendered challenges set by her father, Logan Roy, while benefiting from her privileges as a rich white woman. Through thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006), vital scenes showcase Logan’s persuasive dominance and Shiv’s complicity in aiding oppressive structures. This analysis emphasizes Succession’s portrayal of oppression and privilege, providing an important commentary on power and cultural identity in organizational communication.
