For catching up rather than for a first watch. The succession itself - every vote, every betrayal and every funeral - with the manoeuvring between them summarised. You will lose the comedy, which is half the reason to watch it.
For someone returning mid-series, or rewatching before the finale.

3 skipped
🔒S01E10Nobody Is Ever Missing
A wedding in England, a bear hug from a rival, and a car in the water. Kendall's leverage against his father becomes his father's leverage against him.
Season 24 in the path

The aftermath: Kendall installed as a mouthpiece, and Logan choosing his successor out loud for the first time.
3 skipped

Dinner with the Pierce family, the one deal Logan wants and cannot buy with money. The children are put on display and none of them survive it.
