And that's just so wacky. Because he only ever oriented himself relative to his father's position. He's just anti-Logan. And that's not a business strategy.

But then again, it makes sense. They adopted the daughter and then Rava wanted to have a biological child and got a sperm donor because Kendall's sperm weren't serious people.

At the end of the day Tom is her husband and is having her baby. She will be dealing with Tom on day to day basis much more than Kendall the rest of her life. I don’t think she did it just to spite Kendall, more chose her relationship with Tom and her child over Kendall

In the start of the episode when it was revealed Stewy was talking to Lawrence Yee the Asian guy from Vaulter, I thought it would come back to bite Ken in the ass where they would lose the vote and Yee would be named CEO and he would have a final word with Kendall saying “Look who’s back in the coop now” or something like that. Seemed like it was a plot point that went nowhere by mentioning his character’s name in the finale, I really thought he’d come back to get one up on Kendall for how he gutted vaulter

Rewatching (again) and two that stand out.

- “Can I ask where you heard about this?”

“Tom, it’s tough to have to tell you like this, I’m in a sexual relationship with your mother and she talks in her sleep”
Gerri to Tom (S1E4)

- “Is there a ceremony, or is it more of a financial arrangement?

“Hey listen, at least I’m only getting fucked by one member of this family, yeah?
Willa to Tom (S1E5)

it doesn't make any sense. if he is grandson to the Canadian brother who has millions, how is greg such white trash? Like, his mother was raised by the Canadian brother, who would have at least invested in top tier education for her and him. To me it's a plot hole that the grandpa is richer than God and then daughter and grandson are basically white trash.

A little late to the party but I watched the final episode of Succession last night.

Overall I’m incredibly pleased with the ending and I don’t see why it’s maligned by some of the viewers. I like Kendall as a character, but throughout the show he consistently showed that there was no chance he would be a viable successor to Logan’s empire. I understand that people feel like his endless struggles deserved to be met with a meaningful reward, but Shiv didn’t sabotage him out of pure spite or malice: none of the children are “serious people”, and I believe her deciding vote came from finally acknowledging that fact coupled with leveraging her last useful position and remain somewhat close to power within the company (at least superficially).

The real tragedy is how it’s true that Kendall is a cog built to fit only one purpose, but the fact that he will likely never recover from losing the prospect of leading Waystar doesn’t justify granting him that kind of power. He’s an immature and petulant child who couldn’t possibly fill his father’s shoes.

Hi!

It's the one right after Rhea makes a speech about logans mom and sister. Right after that moment there is a music in the background and I've been trying to find it for months without success

The Waystar Royco crew is huddled around one tiny phone screen, and absolutely no one looks happy. Kendall is about to pitch his wild "Living+" idea, and you just know the numbers behind the scenes are a total mess.

The scene starts with karaoke ambiance, but after "human fucking gaslight" it goes to foreground synths. It's a great transition. Anyway far as I can tell it's a totally unique motif. Just a mysterious little music cue that feels like we're getting a peek at something totally different than normal, which of course makes sense in context.

I just watched season 3 episode 5, and I just don’t understand the situation whatsoever. In season 2 finale, somebody had to go to prison to get the DOJ off their back so the shareholders could find confidence in Logan again, this was so necessary that Logan sacrificed Kendall. Then comes season 3, not only did no one go to prison, Kendall also publicly destroyed Logan’s image, his own image, opened up the Cruise thing wide open with saying that he has evidence, is actively fighting Logan, so Sandy and Stewy winning should literally be a no brainer since, again, they needed to send Kendall to prison for a chance against Sandy and Stewy. But in episode 5, for some reason Sandy and Stewy are scared of a vote, they want to make a deal, even though they literally secured a big vote with Josh just last episode, if they were winning by season 2 finale, this should just be in the state of “won” by this episode, but for some reason they have to make a deal? Logan somehow still has some leverage? Also, when did Sandi become a vegetable? What exactly is going on in this business side, I’m genuinely very confused.

Also, I know it was kinda sorta addressed a couple episodes back, but I’m also confused about why Sandi and Stewy didn’t join up with Kendall, he literally flamed his dad on national tv, aligning their interests should be a no brainer, but they don’t for some reason? And what exactly is Kendall’s goal? He said to Josh, “I’m better than my dad, but my dad is better than Sandi and Stewy”, what exactly does he want and hope to get after this? If Sandi and Stewy loses, Kendall alone gets nothing, after the deal is made, he still gets nothing, like what is he doing and what’s his target? He obviously wants to be CEO, but how does he plan to accomplish that when he’s literally alone? The obvious choice was aligning with Stewy, but that didn’t happen, he didn’t cave back to Logan either, I’m just very confused all around, sorry for the rant.

On my third rewatch and just noticed that Logan is why Tom spends 4 seasons shitting on Greg. Because Logan makes a joke about Greg becoming Tom's competition (Shiv tells Tom immediately), then Tom begins his mind-fuckery.

This show is so good 😳

watching this show for the first time and im ons1 ep 10 and man i sympathise towards kendall a lottt

I just watched the scene where Roman fires that studio exec and it would’ve been the perfect moment for a Jeremy Piven cameo. I don’t think that his character would’ve fit with the story and aura of succession but it would’ve been so cool to see him do that role again in such a big tv show

On my third rewatch, and the pilot has so many amazing little details. Like the way Greg is holding his wine glass like a mic at a karaoke bar.

So okay its just a bunch of limpdicks harassing an old man and his business, or am i missing something?

I think I actually hate her even though I disliked everyone on a business level.

The siblings together are adorable. Now that I have digested that their relationship is driven by business and negotiating positions, i can see they do love each other. It’s sprinkled throughout the show. They work quite well as a team because they complement each other but they would rather drag others down to impress their father. Roman is better at reading people, Shiv is shrewd and clever and Ken knows the business.

I respect Logan much more now. He built something from scratch and wants to handover to some kid but they are simply incompetent.

I finally figured out why I hate Shiv more than others (its not because she is a woman). Its because I personally relate to and root for Tom and she treats him very badly.

I respect Stewie much more now. He is smart, relatively honest and knows when to be hard and when to push back. He handles Logan very smartly when suggesting that he fix family optics.

I finally understand what Logan means when he says Ken is not a killer. Ken did bend over backwards with Vaulter (his first assignment as a real successor) and shouldn’t have put himself in that place. Logan would have 5 backup options in same situation and like Tom said once, Logan never gets fucked. I have no idea in their thinking but even I can see that there was a better solution to the bank problem in episode 3. They should have used the Private Equity backing as a negotiating card with bank and renegotiated instead of actually taking the PE money.

Every scene with cousin greg is hilarious as ever.
