Early reviews have praised its first four episodes as packed with 'powerhouse' performances and 'compelling dialogue' from creator Jesse Armstrong, ahead of the HBO series return on Sunday.

Others have noted that the episodes will be packed with 'toast-dropping' shocks and sets up a 'long, glorious goodbye' to the acclaimed show, which will air its last ever episode on May 26.

Succession's season three finale revealed that Logan Roy doesn't trust any of his children and would much rather sell the company to a outsider, especially as they teamed up to stop the company from leaving the family. 

And the final run begins with Logan no longer on speaking terms with his offspring, as he goes full steam ahead with selling Waystar Royco to tech visionary Lukas Matsso, with the Roy family questioning their future once the deal is complete

In her four-star write-up, The Guardian's Lucy Mangan says: 'The opening episodes of each season of Succession tend to subsume the family dynamic in the corporate intrigue, because there are always so many pieces not just to set up but to explain to a lay audience. This seems to have opted for a more equal balance, perhaps to personalise the tragedy, or tragedies, that are surely to come.

'It's a drama set in the heart of darkness, with comedy set round to illuminate its inescapable, eternal depths. Gather your strength for one last look into the abyss.

In his four-star review, The Telegraph's Ed Cumming writes: 'Everything Succession's fans love is here: the acid dialogue, the private jets, the horror its characters feel whenever they are forced to brush up against the real world.'

Awarding season four's opening five stars, The Times' Carol Midgeley wrote: 'Based on the four episodes I have seen, it has plenty of surprises, fanged vipers and toast-dropping shocks up its exquisite Tom Ford sleeve.'

In another five-star review, i News' Gerard Gilbert penned: 'This propulsive plot is, as usual, only half the story, for Succession is also one of the funniest comedies on TV. 

'I almost feel sorry for the cast, who will probably never again get the opportunity to utter such gorgeously well-crafted dialogue.'

The Irish Times' Ed Power penned: 'They're all as dreadful as we remember. But under the comedy lurks horror. 

'As Succession never tires of reminding the viewer, these people aren't just running each other down. They're also running the world. The joke in this jet-fuelled black comedy is ultimately on us.'

Rolling Stone's Alan Sepinwall was full of praise for the 'deliciously dark' final run, writing: 'Logan knows the end is coming, and so does Succession. 

'Without spoiling what happens in the episodes sent to critics, the way that events unfold, and the impact that they have on Logan and everyone else, never plays like a rehash of what's come before. 

'Significant choices are made, by both the characters and the creative team, that cannot be taken back. It is full steam ahead to the end. Much of what happens is shocking and/or shockingly poignant, especially since it is a show about the absolute worst human beings alive.' 

Variety's Joshua Alston branded season four's opening episodes 'brisk, brutal and hilarious,' noting that it's full steam ahead to its series finale in the coming weeks.

He wrote: 'While the season takes a bit longer to catch fire than its predecessors, once the shady dealing begins in earnest, ''Succession'' is more intense than ever.

'And with the series finale in sight, the show has a full tank of gas and an 800-pound gorilla's foot on the pedal.'
