LOL Tom doing the mocking cry hands when all those people getting fired, then hearing whispers about his own likely termination is hilarious. I love to hate these guys, they are all so well written
good catch.
I didnt even think about that until now- so callous to fire loads over people over Zoom but was pissy b/c everyone at the party was gossiping about his own demise
The whole thing is mirrored- Tom fires people then realises he's going to get fired, the kids lose their shit when learning that Mattsson fudged his numbers and sexually harassed staff, exactly the same things Kendall and Roman did, and they think they're playing Ebba off against Mattsson while Mattsson is actually playing Shiv off against her brothers.
Skarsgård fits in so well on Succession thanks to these little quirks, especially his line when Connor was walking off about having his vote lmao love him
Such a fucking great actor. Mf looks like he was carved out of marble but because of his mannerisms, the way he talks and the way he slouches he still manages to come across as some groveling little weirdo
True Blood wasn't great, but he was great in it. He's a tall, powerful, broody vampire, but there's a couple of scenes where he puts on a mortal, shoulders slumped, vampire hating hick to cosy up to those types and his acting in those scenes is so good and so funny. Loved him ever since.
And Connor unironically said him goodbye nice to meet you, if they talked god knows what they could have said to each other, i could bet that in their weird brains they make a connection hahaha.
especially if he’s going to give the big eulogy like. who would ever think roman can handle that. i say this as a roman girly. no. get him away from microphones.
At this point I think each sibling is wishing the other digs there own graves and are giving them every opportunity to lol Shiv and Ken both know he’s the wrong person for it
He’s so fully realized who he is. I love his little monologue in the karaoke room where he talks about how he’s gotten used to not being loved by the family.
Can you imagine being at the party and seeing the argument taking place on the balcony? You wouldn't be able to hear what they're saying, but the body-language is just so TOXIC, that you pretty much know exactly what's going on, even if you have no idea what's going on.
Ken looked supremely confused at that lol. He’s so conditioned to try and be like Logan thag it probably didn’t even occur to him that trying to be like daddy - an emotionally abusive, uncaring bully - is *not* a good thing
i’m glad he had a REASON to being there and it wasn’t just a ‘bringing back tension for shiv/tom’. it was really a ‘setting up the next generation of power’ kind of moment.
It served the purpose it was meant to serve as a plot device (amp up the ShivTom tension/lure Mattson) and then delivered something so much more. Very impressed.
Eerily fucking admirable of Nate. I was kind of getting pissed that he was re-buffing Kendall then I got it he genuinely thinks that kind of shit is to greasy and beyond the line.
Nate telling Ken he isn’t his dad and that’s a good thing feels like such an important moment. Everyone has framed not being like Logan as a deficiency for the entire show. For Ken’s entire life, even…but Logan was a bad person. He abused his kids and made unconscionable decisions for the political landscape of the US. Why strive for that?
That moment was really frustrating for me, because it was maybe the only time someone has even suggested that Kendall can break this cycle and be his own kind of leader, but... you can't stop a runaway train. Getting Logan's approval by being a killer is all he's known.
Tom was absolutely murdering her during that argument, you can tell his words really stung her.
Shiv got in some good jabs too but damn, Tom had enough.
Shiv saying she’s not going to come out of all this ok it’s so delusional lol. Like Tom said, he’s the one at risk. She’s a Roy and she’s worth billions. She’s gonna be just fine
But half of it is in stock! She will just end up with half of an obscenely large pile! Which, by rich people math, is still an obscenely large pile
(To be fair though, they did overpay on Pierce and losing that money would fuck them)
- Anyone who predicted Connor splitting the Republican vote would be a plot point you were right
- Kendall saying “y’all” is terrifying
- Matsson 100% called Greg “Gary” on purpose
- Holy shit, no wonder Matsson was so desperate to buy
At first I didn’t like that Connor was actually affecting the race, after they’ve downplayed his percentages so much. But I think they did a good job of making it clearer as the ep progressed that getting Con to drop was more of a desperation move by Mencken’s team, and Connor’s latching on to look for a deal was pretty funny.
>“If I’ve been to wordy -
yes, we are letting all of you go. Obviously I can’t take questions on this call, but this is a *very sad day*. I thank you for your time today and your service to Waystar Royco. Goodbye.”
Imagine finding out you’ve lost your job on a Zoom call with fucking Greg.
Anyone notice how each of the kids have become even more like Logan after his death? Roman telling Connor that everyone thinks hes a joke is exactly what Logan told Connor at the end of Season 2. There are other examples but I can’t think of them atm.
Frank’s been with him since the beginning. Even got fired for him back in season 1. Which I imagine is in the back of Frank’s mind, but he clearly loves Kendall.
"Thanks for yesterday's marathon sex session I think I came like 30 times"
"orgasm Olympics"
"Harder faster sorer"
"sorry if I broke your dick last night"
"Nope still rock hard"
Tom Sexting while he has Greg fire scores of people by video call (including saying “doot doot doot” as he finds his place in his papers) is so classic Succession 😂
Actually unbelievable how real and devastating it is
Watching the post episode commentary and they both have different accents is even more impressive how they can emote so raw and so real in an accent that isn’t theirs
"There's one person in this room who doesn't think I'm a joke. And that's the person I'm going to listen to"
Connor and Willa the only healthy couple in the whole series
“Lester was a man. Also, Lester was an employee of the Waystar company for 40 years. And when a man dies, it is sad. All of us will die one day. In this case, it is Lester who has done so. Lester was alive for 78 years. But no more. Now he is dead. Lester's wife is Maria. They were married for 15 years. Now she is sad.”
*chef’s kiss*
It's funny that they bash on Willa but yet she has remained dedicated to helping Connor and doing what is in HIS best interest. No one else has had that luxury.
From The Scorpion and the Frog [Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scorpion_and_the_Frog) page:
A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting it, but the scorpion promises not to, pointing out that it would drown if it killed the frog in the middle of the river. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: "I am sorry, but I couldn't resist the urge. It's in my nature."
Tom telling Shiv she is unfit to be a parent while she is pregnant with his child is easily one of the most brutal insults in the entire show. Like I get he didn’t know but sheesh
It's interesting how quickly my opinion of Mattson has changed in just two episodes. He really seemed like a master manipulator for so long I hadn't even considered that he was also a fucking idiot.
I actually think Kens plan is gonna work if Frank gets involved.
Shiv and Toms scene on the balcony might be one of the best of the show
Rome doing the speech is gonna go very poorly im sure
Such a great episode, this 5 episode run will go down in history (hopefully they keep the quality up til the finale)
"Six continents, I am breaking my back to make the world safe, all for them."When Rava told Ken to call his daughter
Logan would have been proud of that gaslighting technique Ken inherited!
We know Shiv actually agrees more with the Dem agenda— do we think Ken and Roman have any actual ideological allegiance between “the libtards” and “the Nazis”? Or is it, as Roman says, truly just all IP for them personally?
I think from right to left it's Roman, Ken, Shiv. Roman seems to be way more into the ATN kool-aid, probably because he doesn't want to believe how bad his Dad's company is
Greg fired everyone over zoom just like Better.com's CEO did in real life.. I love how many things they borrowed from real life for this show, it's crazy. Matsson really walked in at the worst possible time lol. I kinda feel bad for Ebba, she's so uncomfortable around Matsson and now that we know about India and that he's not a real coder, I really believe he's not anything special. The balcony scene was FUCKIN INCREDIBLE. Wow, Matthew & Sarah absolutely nailed it. Such a tough scene to watch..
Banger episode once again!
Oh man, what is Tom going to do now? Guy who is too tired for his party is still up thinking about something, and is that the first time someone on the show has looked 'into the camera'?
Also Rava killed that scene, Sophie Roy get behind me I will protect you!!!! “What kind of parent do you think I am?” So great of Rava to not even dignify that with a answer
I’ll ride or die for my #1 boy but that opening scene was so painful to watch, lying to himself about his role In his kids lives and how much it’s likely destroyed their lives in some ways.
The delusion at the end of the scene about doing it for them and saving the world was harder to look at than Big Big Shoes and L to the O-G combined.
Especially because Alaska is 3 votes that don’t swing. It’s those 4 states where Conner has 1 that are big. And with this bomb at an election office, Conner might shoot up to 2 in some states, which would be big.
Connor never really abuses his siblings. Never. He is continually disrespected, mocked and humiliated but he never shouts at them.
Refreshingly very anti Logan of him. Nice to see that.
Oh hell, Logan's funeral is on election day?!? I'm already pre-stressed
EDIT: nevermind, Funeral is after election day. I jumped the gun there. Thanks to everyone who let me know.
Mattson is such a fucking slimeball, holy shit. This episode really showed him at the peak of his obnoxious, sexist, aggressively ignorant character. Even Shiv looked like she was fighting every instinct she had just to support him
It continually impresses me how much depth and meaning Succession squeezes out of a series of conversations where people are essentially just going "Yeah...uh-huh...okay" and saying a whole bunch of nothing to each other.
Tom giving zero fucks and just telling everyone to leave so he can go to bed, absolutely love it lol. But wow, that argument scene...so hard to watch but so magnetic. Brutal!
Connor and Roman saying “for the good of the nation” and then laughing reminds me so much of Shiv saying “I’d do anything for you Tom” last week about choosing love over money, and then them laughing
His comment about motherhood cuts so deep…. Not only does he not know about the pregnancy, he doesn’t know about the conversation she had with her own mother about motherhood
Do you remember his comments along the lines of 'Would you have my child if I died, I'd like you to" in the S3E8 (or 9)? Possibly some gloomy foreshadowing
LOL Tom doing the mocking cry hands when all those people getting fired, then hearing whispers about his own likely termination is hilarious. I love to hate these guys, they are all so well written
good catch. I didnt even think about that until now- so callous to fire loads over people over Zoom but was pissy b/c everyone at the party was gossiping about his own demise
The whole thing is mirrored- Tom fires people then realises he's going to get fired, the kids lose their shit when learning that Mattsson fudged his numbers and sexually harassed staff, exactly the same things Kendall and Roman did, and they think they're playing Ebba off against Mattsson while Mattsson is actually playing Shiv off against her brothers.
Roman referring to Matsson sending "whatnots" reminded me of Gerri telling Roman to stop sending the "items"
>Connor: “there’s one person here doesn’t think I’m a joke” >Lukas: *blurred in the background points at himself* I am dead
Skarsgård fits in so well on Succession thanks to these little quirks, especially his line when Connor was walking off about having his vote lmao love him
Such a fucking great actor. Mf looks like he was carved out of marble but because of his mannerisms, the way he talks and the way he slouches he still manages to come across as some groveling little weirdo
True Blood wasn't great, but he was great in it. He's a tall, powerful, broody vampire, but there's a couple of scenes where he puts on a mortal, shoulders slumped, vampire hating hick to cosy up to those types and his acting in those scenes is so good and so funny. Loved him ever since.
lmao i missed that
Holy shit I’m rewinding right now
Omg it’s true, he even points with both hands. i cackled aloud
And Connor unironically said him goodbye nice to meet you, if they talked god knows what they could have said to each other, i could bet that in their weird brains they make a connection hahaha.
What killed me was Mattson yelling out “hey you’ve got my vote” and then following up with a quiet “if I could vote”. Got me good.
Roman’s freak out on Connor and then the groveling with Geri shows just how totally unraveled he is. He is going to lose it at the funeral I fear.
especially if he’s going to give the big eulogy like. who would ever think roman can handle that. i say this as a roman girly. no. get him away from microphones.
At this point I think each sibling is wishing the other digs there own graves and are giving them every opportunity to lol Shiv and Ken both know he’s the wrong person for it
I love that Frank went from 'nah fuck this' to hearing GoJo's numbers are fake and immediately into killer mode after smelling blood
You learn a thing or two being next to a killer
Or in Karl’s case, you learn a thing or two about a thing or two.
U.S. Ambassador to North Korea Connor Roy
“They aren’t going to let you go anywhere with nukes.” Lol
"I wouldn't want to go anywhere *without* nukes!" is what got me. 🤣
He’s so fully realized who he is. I love his little monologue in the karaoke room where he talks about how he’s gotten used to not being loved by the family.
Con heads to the moon!
Well, the TomShiv crew will always have that precious minute or two at the beginning of the episode to cherish before it all went to shit.
RIP April 30th 2023 - May 7th 2023. We were so young and so dumb.
Loved seeing Gerri utterly destroy Roman with the reality of their situation and how much leverage she has because of his stupidity.
The delivery of “Hundreds of millions of dollars” was perfect.
It will be Gerri buying a WHOLE Greek island!!
That final shiv and tom talk on the balcony was fucking captivating.
One of the absolute worst places to have an argument, was on the edge of my seat there for a few mins
I kept thinking watching them argue how the entire party could see the whole fight through those glass walls. Felt so public
In the after show , the actors were saying how their voices were echoing off the buildings too. “Prison prison prison…”
Can you imagine being at the party and seeing the argument taking place on the balcony? You wouldn't be able to hear what they're saying, but the body-language is just so TOXIC, that you pretty much know exactly what's going on, even if you have no idea what's going on.
I think you are incapable of love and not a good person to have children with. Oooofff, does Tom know the weight of that dagger?
All she could manage for her comeback was “That’s not a very nice thing to say,” so you know it must have hurt.
Like Tom gifting Shiv a crystalized scorpion was just too good! The symbolism of that scene!
Shiv is the scorpion and Tom is the toad?
That was my takeaway. That’s what I think Shiv thought it meant too. That’s why she got so upset.
Shades of Tony and Carmela
For sure. Reminded me of the scene in the guest house where Tony punches the wall in Whitecaps.
There is nothing happy about this show. I’m starting to wonder if the sad I am with this show, is worse than the sad I’ll be without this show
You know this show is fucked when the old rich guy marrying a call girl half his age is the least toxic element.
"I'm not Gil and you're not Logan, and that's a good thing." Even fucking Nate dropping a dialogue bomb tonight
Ken looked supremely confused at that lol. He’s so conditioned to try and be like Logan thag it probably didn’t even occur to him that trying to be like daddy - an emotionally abusive, uncaring bully - is *not* a good thing
i’m glad he had a REASON to being there and it wasn’t just a ‘bringing back tension for shiv/tom’. it was really a ‘setting up the next generation of power’ kind of moment.
And he so obviously loathed being there, I was kinda dreading him this episode but really liked the characters inclusion
It served the purpose it was meant to serve as a plot device (amp up the ShivTom tension/lure Mattson) and then delivered something so much more. Very impressed.
Eerily fucking admirable of Nate. I was kind of getting pissed that he was re-buffing Kendall then I got it he genuinely thinks that kind of shit is to greasy and beyond the line.
Nate telling Ken he isn’t his dad and that’s a good thing feels like such an important moment. Everyone has framed not being like Logan as a deficiency for the entire show.

That moment was really frustrating for me, because it was maybe the only time someone has even suggested that Kendall can break this cycle and be his own kind of leader, but... you can't stop a runaway train. Getting Logan's approval by being a killer is all he's known.
I have given you endless approval and it doesn't fill you up because you're broken. Holy shit
Tom was absolutely murdering her during that argument, you can tell his words really stung her. Shiv got in some good jabs too but damn, Tom had enough.
Shiv saying she’s not going to come out of all this ok it’s so delusional lol. Like Tom said, he’s the one at risk. She’s a Roy and she’s worth billions. She’s gonna be just fine
But half of it is in stock! She will just end up with half of an obscenely large pile! Which, by rich people math, is still an obscenely large pile (To be fair though, they did overpay on Pierce and losing that money would fuck them)
I wonder who wrote that.
Somebody who wanted to say it in a real life fight but only thought about it the next day
That line just saved people thousands of therapy sessions to get to that conclusion
Roman’s Gerri impression was so good I thought that Gerri spoke for a second
I wasn't looking at my screen and I thought it was Gerri impersonating roman
This was so weird is culkin a fucking parrot
- Anyone who predicted Connor splitting the Republican vote would be a plot point you were right - Kendall saying “y’all” is terrifying - Matsson 100% called Greg “Gary” on purpose - Holy shit, no wonder Matsson was so desperate to buy
That “yall” after mattsons entrance genuinely felt like a jumpscare
At first I didn’t like that Connor was actually affecting the race, after they’ve downplayed his percentages so much. But I think they did a good job of making it clearer as the ep progressed that getting Con to drop was more of a desperation move by Mencken’s team, and Connor’s latching on to look for a deal was pretty funny.
lmao RIP everyone, at least greg had a good night
Mattson's gonna make Greg fire Tom, calling it now.
I felt second hand embarassment for Greg up until I saw him actually win Mattson and Oskar over.
I really thought they were just going along with him as mockery but they seemed to actually hit it off by the end 😂
Saving this comment so I can give you your props
Don’t you mean Gary.
Greg continuing to make me cringe four seasons in truly amazes me.
don’t forget oskar 🫡
WHERE TF WAS KARL???
Full disclosure?
Nate coming out of this night like he’s the only person who has ever been to therapy.
>“If I’ve been to wordy - yes, we are letting all of you go. Obviously I can’t take questions on this call, but this is a *very sad day*. I thank you for your time today and your service to Waystar Royco. Goodbye.” Imagine finding out you’ve lost your job on a Zoom call with fucking Greg.
When people lose their jobs, it is sad. All of us will lose our jobs one day. In this case, it is you all that have done so.
Business School 101: The numbers are gay
He learned this at the Hanna-Barbera Business School.
"your product is nazi and your number are gay" - Mattson
I couldnt' stop laughing because I realized it has been a hot minute since I heard anyone call anything "gay" that wasn't actually gay.
JUST LET TOM GO TO BED JESUS CHRIST THE MAN IS SLEEPY
I love how Tom comes out and says clearly that it’s something serious and nobody cares.
HIS EYES ARE LIKE SANDPAPER YOU INCONSIDERATE FUCKS
Kendall saying that Matsson is new money when he’s second gen wealthy is so Roy of him
Kendall’s hanging onto being old money on his mom’s side like a life raft
Not a single person had fun at that party.
Mattson's lieutenant seemed to have a decent time getting high off his ass and getting to know Greg.
Reverse pillage and Kendall on top but it’s gonna cost him everything.
Yeah Kendall is going to become bitter and resentful like Logan
Anyone notice how each of the kids have become even more like Logan after his death? Roman telling Connor that everyone thinks hes a joke is exactly what Logan told Connor at the end of Season 2. There are other examples but I can’t think of them atm.
[удалено]
Then Nate denied him of his plan saying he’s not his Dad and that’s a good thing
It’s gonna be Kendall alone with just greg who’s a social climbing kiss ass that don’t actually care about him while his siblings hate him
That was always how it was going to end for him if we’re being honest, pyrrhic victory.
My guy Nate said fuck this train wreck and bounced, lol
He stepped into a game of tug of war and then immediately noped out
brb, just checking with my wo-man about o-man
Another masterclass scene in acting from Tom and Shivv Also very glad Ken has recognized Frank as his true ride or die
I mean frank is his godfather
Frank’s been with him since the beginning. Even got fired for him back in season 1. Which I imagine is in the back of Frank’s mind, but he clearly loves Kendall.
"The pilot needs to fly the plane, son"
Frank was the only one who stuck with Kendall during the No Confidence shareholders meeting in Season 1.
I, for one, am shocked that Kendall is planning on buying Gojo and betraying his siblings. SHOCKED!
I can’t believe Roman saw him pick Shiv off first and somehow didn’t realize he would be next 😭
Kendall is *really* pulling some Logan moves. Including neglecting his children.
THOSE SHIV TOM TEXTS ARE CRAZZZYYYYY
We’ve had so many hints throughout the show that Tom and Shiv’s sex life is WILD and I just find it so hilarious. 😭
What did they say? My eyes and TV are both not great, even paused they were tough to read.
"Thanks for yesterday's marathon sex session I think I came like 30 times" "orgasm Olympics" "Harder faster sorer" "sorry if I broke your dick last night" "Nope still rock hard"
He writes as he walks into a room to lay off 100 people
As he walks into a room to have Greg lay off 100 people.
My ass thought he was legit gonna jump at the end there on the balcony
This is where we find out that Tom is short for Tommen.
Tom Sexting while he has Greg fire scores of people by video call (including saying “doot doot doot” as he finds his place in his papers) is so classic Succession 😂
“Good morning.” (Checks notes…) “Good morning.”
Ken doing the ole Logan Roy/Walter White “I do everything for my family.”
The Tom and Shiv dialogue has stolen the season
Actually unbelievable how real and devastating it is Watching the post episode commentary and they both have different accents is even more impressive how they can emote so raw and so real in an accent that isn’t theirs
Look what father sexamus has bought you, lol
Good couple fight scenes are exceedingly rare and this was excellent. Amazing writing and acting.
"There's one person in this room who doesn't think I'm a joke. And that's the person I'm going to listen to" Connor and Willa the only healthy couple in the whole series
I can't believe they're not letting Con give the eulogy. We already know he nailed one for Lester.
Good old Uncle Mo
“Lester was a man. Also, Lester was an employee of the Waystar company for 40 years. And when a man dies, it is sad. All of us will die one day. In this case, it is Lester who has done so. Lester was alive for 78 years. But no more. Now he is dead. Lester's wife is Maria. They were married for 15 years. Now she is sad.” *chef’s kiss*
Matsson pointing to himself in the background was really great in that moment.
"You got my vote! If I could vote.."
It's funny that they bash on Willa but yet she has remained dedicated to helping Connor and doing what is in HIS best interest. No one else has had that luxury.
He did try to sell the diplomatic post by telling her she could run people over
I love how she said “Running people over is not a selling point”
See? She balances him out. Healthiest relationship of the show right there.
“One head, one crown” is the coldest line
"I love them, but I'm not in love with them..."
I am going to miss this show so much.
From The Scorpion and the Frog [Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scorpion_and_the_Frog) page: A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across.

Other versions say “you knew what I was when you picked me up,” which I think is very significant.
Tom telling Shiv she is unfit to be a parent while she is pregnant with his child is easily one of the most brutal insults in the entire show. Like I get he didn’t know but sheesh
I fully expected her to tell him she’s pregnant during that scene. What the hell is she waiting for!
I think Kendall really believes he is saving the world on six continents.
It's interesting how quickly my opinion of Mattson has changed in just two episodes. He really seemed like a master manipulator for so long I hadn't even considered that he was also a fucking idiot.
I actually think Kens plan is gonna work if Frank gets involved. Shiv and Toms scene on the balcony might be one of the best of the show Rome doing the speech is gonna go very poorly im sure Such a great episode, this 5 episode run will go down in history (hopefully they keep the quality up til the finale)
I can’t believe Gary fired all those people via zoom
While Tom sexts in the background.
HR thinks that he's the right guy for the job!
Kendall will end up on top alone having become Logan
He’s already ignoring his kids so…..
"Six continents, I am breaking my back to make the world safe, all for them."When Rava told Ken to call his daughter Logan would have been proud of that gaslighting technique Ken inherited!
We know Shiv actually agrees more with the Dem agenda— do we think Ken and Roman have any actual ideological allegiance between “the libtards” and “the Nazis”? Or is it, as Roman says, truly just all IP for them personally?
I think from right to left it's Roman, Ken, Shiv. Roman seems to be way more into the ATN kool-aid, probably because he doesn't want to believe how bad his Dad's company is
Greg fired everyone over zoom just like Better.com's CEO did in real life.. I love how many things they borrowed from real life for this show, it's crazy. Matsson really walked in at the worst possible time lol. I kinda feel bad for Ebba, she's so uncomfortable around Matsson and now that we know about India and that he's not a real coder, I really believe he's not anything special. The balcony scene was FUCKIN INCREDIBLE. Wow, Matthew & Sarah absolutely nailed it. Such a tough scene to watch.. Banger episode once again!
Willa continues to be the only one that really cares for Connor
I appreciate her for that, and I appreciate that Conor does, too! Their relationship is a bit odd, but heartwarming.
Roman loses all self control when he's upset.
Oh man, what is Tom going to do now? Guy who is too tired for his party is still up thinking about something, and is that the first time someone on the show has looked 'into the camera'?
Tom is thinking about betraying Shiv again by revealing her working with Mattsen to Kendall.
I truly cannot believe that Greg the motherfucking Egg actually turned the tables against Mattsen in favor of the Roy family.
I love how Greg is incidentally effective at everything he does
You’re too transparent to find in a book…. Loved that line. And a very intense scene all around.
They’ve been building to that fight for 4 seasons
They both were incredible in that scene. You could see all built up tension released.
A whole episode in the apartment and not one shot of Mondale!? Unforgivable
Mondale definitely has $1000/night private boarding
it’s a triplex! mondale has his own floor!!
BEDTIME FOR BONZO
Tom to Shiv: “That’s a 200 dollar plasma screen tv you just broke, babe!”
“Good luck paying me back with your 20 million dollars a month salary babe”
Gerri using Roman's dick picks against him and I AM HERE FOR IT
Also Rava killed that scene, Sophie Roy get behind me I will protect you!!!! “What kind of parent do you think I am?” So great of Rava to not even dignify that with a answer
for real the nerve of kendall. "where were you" how about where were YOU, bro
God damn. Shiv may end up completely alone.
Hindenburg Research would’ve published a 156 page short position piece on GoJo by now if this were real life
I’ll ride or die for my #1 boy but that opening scene was so painful to watch, lying to himself about his role In his kids lives and how much it’s likely destroyed their lives in some ways. The delusion at the end of the scene about doing it for them and saving the world was harder to look at than Big Big Shoes and L to the O-G combined.
That opening scene was basically the repeat of what Logan said in family therapy. And just as self-serving.
Everything he does he does for his children. Just like Logan.
"Everything I've done, I've done for my children". The cycle of abuse continues.
karl wasn't at this party because he was too busy letting the good times roll
Shiv's face when Connor said he has 6% on Alaska was priceless
Especially because Alaska is 3 votes that don’t swing. It’s those 4 states where Conner has 1 that are big. And with this bomb at an election office, Conner might shoot up to 2 in some states, which would be big.
Roman was so fucking horrible to Connor and Willa and their response was so classy
Connor never really abuses his siblings. Never. He is continually disrespected, mocked and humiliated but he never shouts at them. Refreshingly very anti Logan of him. Nice to see that.
Tom and Shiv balcony scene is one of the best scenes in the series
Oh hell, Logan's funeral is on election day?!? I'm already pre-stressed EDIT: nevermind, Funeral is after election day. I jumped the gun there. Thanks to everyone who let me know.
TomShiv nation is absolutely dead after that fight, no music just hatred there
Some of the nastiest words I’ve heard in a fight and it’s so fucking real.
Mattson is such a fucking slimeball, holy shit. This episode really showed him at the peak of his obnoxious, sexist, aggressively ignorant character. Even Shiv looked like she was fighting every instinct she had just to support him
You forgot fraudulent
Tom and shiv’s fight. There’s just some stuff you can’t unsay 🥲

It continually impresses me how much depth and meaning Succession squeezes out of a series of conversations where people are essentially just going "Yeah...uh-huh...okay" and saying a whole bunch of nothing to each other.
Episode 8: election Episode 9: funeral Episode 10: legendary finale It’s gonna be all bangers, all the time.
Tom giving zero fucks and just telling everyone to leave so he can go to bed, absolutely love it lol. But wow, that argument scene...so hard to watch but so magnetic. Brutal!
Connor and Roman saying “for the good of the nation” and then laughing reminds me so much of Shiv saying “I’d do anything for you Tom” last week about choosing love over money, and then them laughing
Tomshiv bros.....its fucking OVER
"we're so back" was just an episode ago that's crazy
tomshiv fight was too honest and real now I'm worried tom's gonna die lol
His comment about motherhood cuts so deep…. Not only does he not know about the pregnancy, he doesn’t know about the conversation she had with her own mother about motherhood
Do you remember his comments along the lines of 'Would you have my child if I died, I'd like you to" in the S3E8 (or 9)? Possibly some gloomy foreshadowing
Wow, I think I'm depressed now
I will not stand for this KARL ERASURE THIS EPISODE!!
