Did anyone else find this episode a let down compared to the previous. Hmmmm It kinda felt dull. hmmm
And thus Nero pushed his wife down the stairs, and then he had Sporus castrated and married him instead.
Honestly, screw Shiv. Her narrow-minded hatred for Ken led to the point, where she rather handed the family's company to a man she knew for a few weeks only and lied to her all along, and her betraying, joke of a husband who used her as a stepping stone. Instead of keeping Waystar and becoming CEO in a few years when Ken eventually messes it up. But no it was more important to Shiv to see Kendall fail, rather than keeping her chance alive to win, what a petty, loser mentality is that.
That was such an incredibly sad but perfect and correct ending.
I don't understand people who didn't like the ending because their favorite character didn't win. After 4 seasons with these despicable characters did anyone expect the Roy kids to unite and defeat the bad guy with the power of love and friendship? It was never going to end that way.
The three siblings just could never get over their egos. They all proved, through the 4 seasons, that they’re basically useless and the only reason they were ever in the discussion to be CEO is because Logan was their father. They'd rather destroy everything than have only one of the trio take the upper hand. Shiv just could not let her brother have a win, even if it meant her losing as well. Perfectly summed up their whole family dynamic and the show as a whole.
The siblings are so entitled and self-absorbed they never saw Tom coming. They’ve never had to work for a damn thing. I don't like Tom, but it makes sense for someone like Tom, who worked his way from the ground up and earned himself the position he was in.
The scene with the siblings making that awful smoothie and them watching their dad reveal yet another side of himself was so nice among the insanity that came in between.
That penultimate shot with Shiv and Tom in the car was phenomenal. Complete shift in the power dynamic. After marrying him specifically because she thought he was weak enough to keep holding power over.
Kendall not winning every season. That’s rough.
Willa revamping Logan's apartment with a cow print couch.
In the end Conor was the only one to have any kind of a relationship with Logan, the other kids are never shown having moments with him like he did at the recorded dinner.
Greg translating the Swedish in real time is the smartest thing he’s ever done. Four seasons and I cannot for the life of me understand why he would put up with that. His uncle offered him $250mil to get away from the firm.
But the biggest thing for me coming out of this episode is Kendall’s son isn’t really his. It really came out of nowhere and seemed more like a fact than a rumor the way everyone reacted to it.
All in all, Succession stuck to the show’s core till the end. In a way it’s a predictable ending but because it’s television and we expect some twist where a cool character comes out on top we don’t expect the expected. The outcome is pretty much what you’d expect from all the characters knowing their faults
The whole episode Kendall literally did not make sense until the presentation. Meanwhile Shiv and Tom are working hard to ruin the brothers. I'm all down for the Shiv betrayal.
His bodyguard, Colin, looked so heartbroken…
Greg’s character is so annoying. Either evolve him or get rid of him.
Right before Kendall left his father he kissed him on the cheek. This was poetic as it represented the kiss of Judas - an act of betrayel under the veil of friendship. Kendall essentially made up his mind in that moment that he would betray his father after the cold treatment and lack of love Logan gave him in that last moment.
This show is getting better and better each season. I'm excited to see where season 3 goes!
Like some sort of fanciful Greek tragedy playing out in front of you. You can't bring yourself to like anybody, but you also can't bring yourself to hate anyone either. It's a pit of vipers and everyone is a victim and a hunter. A powder keg of the modern era. Magnificent.
Wow only a 61% rating and it hasn't even been released yet. It's so bad people from the future built a time machine just to travel back to warn us!
It's a shame we don't get marvel movies of this quality of a story. Superb.
"I can't imagine you working at Tesco's"
"Well beep beep motherfucker I'm good at it"
the actress MADE that line work
The haters are going to hate this movie. Mostly because they just default to hating Captain Marvel and Ms Marvel. Come in just looking for things to hate. But this movie is a LOT of fun. Go in in a light hearted mood. Numerous things had me laughing out loud in the cinema.
The end could have been wrapped up a bit faster.
And OMFG THE MID-CREDITS SCENE!!! OMGOMGOMOGOD!!! (there is no post-credits scene).
Bode is just annoying at this point. He's the reason the family is getting in trouble 90% of the time...
Herogasm was way too overhyped for what it was, but an amazing episode regardless
I was expecting a lot more Herogasm but aside from that, this episode was amazing!
Sweet and enjoyable, better and with more heart than your usual HS rom-com
Just as refreshing: the fact that it's a gay love story is normalized, as it should be. Meaning that there's not some sort of condemnation or stigma from some other characters (which usually happens with movies on this topic), bigotry, having to hide etc
And I know all those things are still unexplicably present in our world, but I also feel that while it's right and necessary to show what people are going through because of their orientation, the hate and discrimination, their suffering and pain - we're also at a point where it's important to show as well stories where the fact that it's a love story between two girls is not even a deal, not even news.
Cause I think that showing positive feedback, that it's ok - may help younger people who are struggling, to feel that it's ok being the way they are and loving whoever they love, and consider it normal
nobody going to see lucas play made me so sad
"Hey, what's up Cynthia?"
Not good or funny. It’s satire that becomes the stupidity it’s making fun of.
There’s a little too much of the mom. She can be annoying. Like, just bring back her memory or kill her off.
Plus it sucks that there was no pay off to Tyler making a key. After that was dragged out so long.
Here we go again - another mystery type show that will get cancelled before any answers or conclusions to the story.
Cried like a baby, but I loved this episode.
You have all the time in the world :hearts:
I laughed quite a lot.
This takes itself so goddamn seriously, it’s almost like it doesn’t know that it’s really fucking trashy.
How does a director look at this material and think: yeah, I can make a serious thriller out of this.
Besides being hilariously dumb, the dialogue and acting are truly on a whole other level.
If the director comes out and admits that they intentionally parodied Will Smith’s “what are we, some kind of Suicide Squad” line in this, I’ll reconsider my score.
Until then: 2/10
I am genuinely confused by this episode. I really thought they were going to pull a twist at the end with this all being in Beard's head in some way. The repeated 'dropped keys' part especially added to that (I was thinking he'd been attacked on his doorstep or something - perhaps by Tartt Sr, and the details were filtering through). I'm actually disappointed that it, seemingly, was legitimate after all.
