I assumed Kendall was going to find the least-smelly way possible to smuggle out the evidence and throw it away at home.  The staff being mystified by the disappearance of a set of sheets seems better than the staff gossiping about how Kendall Roy shit his bed.

Well as awful as she does treat tom let’s not pretend he isn’t using her as well. Granted he seems to genuinely care about her from time to time he is also unquestionably self interested. thier marriage is as much about his own career as whatever emotional bond they loosely harbor. Tom has a pretty fucking loose moral…

Very spot on. Shiv is a great character in how hypocritically entitled she is. She likes to think of herself as morally and conceptually superior to her family while being just like them. A lot of people talk about her “promising political career” here but it wasn’t that all, it was her moonlighting progressivism to…

I totally expected Shiv to come crashing back to earth. There was no way she was going to seamlessly ascend to the Waystar throne. If you take the series as a whole, Logan is no more ready to announce Shiv as his successor as he was Kendall in the series premiere. Shiv has always existed as the smart one and Logan’s…

But as a professional drug abuser, he excels at knowing how to sniff out a drug source.

I’m calling it: Shiv was in London to visit her secret kid who only her mother knows about.

I don’t think so; IIRC he kicks Shiv’s lover out of the wedding reception and made him pour wine he was drinking back into a bottle as a move to reestablish his dominance. Not to mention his open ambitions.

I liked the bit where Greg thanks Tom for not outing him and Tom’s commiserative pat-on-the-arm.

Seriously. At first I liked him because he seemed like the only character whose whole life wasn’t a pool of ugly hatred, but then he comes out as a batshit insane libertarian. After 2016 we should all know that a joke like Connor Roy could be in fact exceedingly dangerous.

This episode was a nightmare. A riveting one, but still a nightmare. My skin was crawling fiercely all through that dinner scene. Also, I had no idea it was possible to make me feel sorry for Tom and Roman, but I really did tonight. Tom’s crumpled face after Shiv alluded to her weekend tryst was heartbreaking. I mean,…

I had no idea he was British! That’s amazing! He looks like a foppish Brett Favre and I totally bought he was from the Midwest lol

I knew Macfadyen from MI-5/Spooks, so it’s really weird seeing him as a doofus middle American.

I love how in every episode, there’s usually something that realistically illustrates the waste, extravagance, and indifference of the obscenely rich. Last week, it was the shot of all those lobsters and porterhouse steaks getting dumped in the trash. This week, it was the shot of the small crowd who were irritated…

It sure seems like Shiv is going to get screwed over. I do think Logan is sincere about wanting her to take over in theory, but he doesn’t seem to be in any hurry to relinquish an ounce of power in practice. Maybe she ends up running Connor’s presidential campaign.

Top notch episode. I’d have to say this is the most ruthless show on television since The Sopranos. Kendall is an absolutely heartbreaking character to watch. Tom was standout here as well. I don’t know if TV gets any better than Succession right now.

shitshow of an ending.

Judge is about to announce her decision but instead just allows the plaintiff (and then the defendant) to monologue for who knows why.

I just couldn’t stand what they were doing with the credits each time. Either be over, or don’t.

I suspect that I like National Anthem more than most. I think that it has interesting things to say and placing it in the here and now, not some either vaguely dystopian or outright dystopian world, helps it work. I have to give it props for actually walking over the line, when other shows would’ve found a way to…

I understand that people don’t like National Anthem because it makes them uncomfortable but that’s exactly the point. That’s why it is such an amazing episode. I’ve never watched something that made me think, “They’re not going to do this” to “Are they really going to do this?” to “Holy Shit! They’re doing this!” I…

I feel like “The National Anthem” should rate higher. As a statement of intent for what was then a brand new series, it’s jawdropping: the dramatic equivalent of walking into a bar and immediately punching the biggest guy there. And then it actually pulls it off.
