I probably agree with you that Kendall didn’t mean it as a personal attack on Siobh - and that the misogyny was thoughtless rather than the point of the stunt. But I’m not sure that Siobh would have seen it that way - I think it probably felt very personal to her.

I think Culkin may be the most impressive, because it’s so high-wire. The other characters, if less well acted, would just be less engaging. But Roman is so obnoxious, and so ridiculously weird (just watch him wandering away from the interview prep, or even just that horribly contorted bent-over position he adopts…

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,…

IMDB has him credited for 20 episodes so far - were some of those only notional? Either way, he’s similar to Karl or Marcia, and way more present than someone like Rava, Jess, or Nate. I agree with you that I’d kind of hope a reviewer would remember that he existed.

The people who think Logan sabotaged Shiv with Nirvana have got to be the same people who write ‘ending explained’ articles for content farms

Takes the money, AND sits on the board. He’s not just getting rich off it; he could actually exert some level of control if he really wanted to, and actively chooses not to

Shiv’s decision to release the letter was less an active “alignment from [her] toward Logan” than it was a very spiteful and rushed reaction to the stunt at Waystar Royco. To me, there was no business strategy thinking there, just a full, ruthless personal vengeance because Kendall ruined her introduction as the…

Great recap! Yes, that security guard was involved with the coverup of Kendall’s Season 1 wrongdoing.

Roman casually revealing that Connor was the one who took him fishing might be the saddest moment in Succession so far. The evolution of Roman has been my favourite character arc across the series. He was such a relentless (but amusing) dickhead, yet with each new reveal of his childhood, you can tell he’s the most…

It’s a testament to Kieran Culkin’s performance that he’s gone from my most despised character to someone deserving of the most empathy. His vulnerability and faux-carelessness when dealing with Logan is painful.

I think Connor might be my favorite character, in a close battle with Tom. I have become convinced that prior to the events of the show Connor was the golden child, the one Logan wanted to take over, but Connor (probably due to his mother) turned out to be kind hearted and sensitive as we see in the sweet memory of…

why doesn’t kendall, the largest of the roys, not simply eat the other 3?

It is 100% not ambiguous at all, to anyone paying even the tiniest bit of attention.

Who send the box of donuts? Who set up the speakers?

No. Logan is not clever like that. He rules by brute force. I don’t know why people want to ascribe these kind of sneaky, tricky ploys to him.

I guess it’s possible, but then what shopping list did Kendall send his guy out for, directly followed by asking what time the town hall was? And Shiv saw the boxes in his office. I mean, I guess it could be revealed that Logan could have done all of that? It just doesn’t seem to be his style, or the style of the…

Kendall going on the show despite the letter released by Shiv would definitely have been the right move, all he would have had to do was dance around it by saying that he was blindsided that his sister would publicly release such information, that he is hurt that she would do such a thing, but he has an easy…

didn’t think it was even more possible for jeremy strong to top the work he did in Season 2 but we’re 3 episodes in and he has been hitting homerun after homerun my god.

My only sibling is a kid sister. Watching Kendall and Shiv attack and hurt each other tonight was brutal and heartbreaking. This series is so good as family drama with the members expressing their vulnerabilities, insecurities, emotions, primal needs, great hurts for and at each other through their business moves. A…

The “security guy” is Colin, Logan’s security guy and right-hand man. He was absolutely involved in that coverup, and he and Kendall shared a very important conversation about it in S2E1.
