Season 2, Episode 9: ‘D.C.’Given what’s been going on in Washington the past couple of weeks, this latest “Succession” episode isn’t just gripping, it’s fairly illuminating. The traveling Waystar circus rolls into Washington, D.C., with a mission to stall, obfuscate, scapegoat and generally avoid accountability. For a time, “Succession” becomes a kind of procedural, taking viewers inside the machinations of a congressional hearing from the point-of-view of the people being grilled. The hour reveals a lot about how seriously the megawealthy and the politically connected take government oversight. Roman hesitates because this assignment actually matters, and he knows he’s a goofus.
