Kendall got his lackey to go buy speakers and HE blasted Nirvana. The writers as much TOLD us all that with the shopping list and the speaker boxes- no conspiracy here. That is, however, a plot hole, because they also showed how security was all over them when they entered the building, so there’s no way the lackey…

Yeah, and honestly the biggest tell is that the stunt is never really discussed after. Obviously it shakes Shiv up but even when other people bring it up she shrugs it off. If it was supposed to be plot relevant, it wouldn’t be treated like that.

I think it’s not just that he ruined her moment. I think that, after his ‘teats’ ranting last week, Siobh felt personally humiliated and attacked that her brother would plan to have her stand up and speak and have people just hear ‘rape me’... I mean, that’s not just “spoil the big day” humiliation, that’s seriously,…

For people in comments waiting for the hidden reveal that Logan sabotaged Shiv, or that Roman really drove that waiter into the lake and Kendall’s just covering for him, or that Marcia is really Connor’s wife, take the time to read ex-AV Club great Emily VanDerWurff on why Succession doesn’t work this way (in short:…

Not everyone had the time to re-watch seasons 1 and 2 immediately before beginning 3.

I’m guessing Greg will end up contributing to burn both sides, although perhaps accidentally.

It’s been mentioned a few times. In Season 1, episode 2, her first episode, she told Roman that they were in the same hospital where they brought her husband. Roman then asked, “Oh yeah, how is he?” and she said, “Well, he’s dead, Roman.” “Yeah, no, I know. I remember.” Her dead husband was Shiv’s godfather. She has…

I’ve seen het parings written as man/woman many times but in my fandom years I’ve always heard the term slash used specifically to refer to same-sex pairings (often m/m specifically with femslash being f/f). Had no idea people used it about het pairings.

Tom wouldn’t be that clever. Also I don’t think the show does misdirections like that–I don’t see any reason to think that they’re not from Logan, his way of telling them he’s found them. 

I always thought it started with str8 women who wrote about fantasy gay pairings of fictional str8 Characters... exp. Spock and Kirk.

And truly, what is Cousin Greg if not the Babe the Pig of Succession? 

“Teats” may be my least favorite word in the English language, and I don’t buy hearing it from someone of Kendall’s age.

Kendall blew up at his siblimgs not because that is his nature but because he was genuunely hurt and rejected as a person and brother.

My main reaction after watching this outstanding episode: Man, these poor, all too human, bastards—trapped in this terrible world. I feel for all of them, including Logan. What Armstrong and his writers do so masterfully is make people who do awful things feel so empathetic; make a family living in a very…

To me, Willa seemed... humiliated. Yes, sure, when your dreams crash and burn and your billionaire boyfriend, who has backed you and is losing a lot of money due to your failure, suggests that you could at least make back some of the money by actively encouraging people to hate and mock you, you’re not going to say…

I re-watched the series last month and it reminded me how alienating the first episode actually was. It doesn’t feel like it was written to sell you on the show, like most pilots are. I understand why the AV Club and a lot of other reviewers slept on it because you kinda have to get through half the season before the…

Honestly, if “yesterday’s episode Kendall” was the guy leading the charge, asking me to risk my entire career to take down the head of the company, I’d laugh in his face. That was my one problem with the premiere—-nobody in their right mind would hitch their wagon to the guy who appears to be completely nuts and manic …

it’s that the reviewer does not understand the relationship dynamic in play between Gerri and Roman. her weird insistence that they should definitely “hook up” this season completely misses the entire point.

Not enough praise goes to the wonderful work by Nicholas Britell as composer. The show massively, massively lucked out in getting him.

Maybe it helps to think of it as “Shiv” is a badass DIY murder weapon and “Siobh” is too close to “Slob”?
