I’m glad that you recognised the difference in Romans fear to the other two. The way he’s *physically* afraid in a way the other two aren’t just breaks my heart.
“You come for me with love?” That line gives me chills.
I would love to see him play some emperor role like in Troy. He's so good
The scene with Kendall, Roman and Shiv always breaks me. This series is at its best when they're showing the love between these siblings. Complicated love, sure, but still love. What an incredible cast with amazing chemistry.
Yeah, the fact that despite the way they were raised and behave they sometimes manage to show genuine love for each other always makes for very powerful moments
The conversation about Nero pushing his wife down the stairs to marry Sporus was essentially foreshadowing Tom betraying Shiv yet taking Greg with him
fucking crazy writing i need whatever the writers are on
snook's acting in this episode was stellar. the ferocity in her eyes was great.. not overblown. and the moment at the end when tom put his hands on her shoulders and she winced like that.. amazing
It's sneaky but Shiv was never more powerful than at this moment when she bulldozed everyone onto being onside, she's basically leading the charge. And then it gets taken away by mum, a non factor in her life, indirectly because she didn't do some post sex aftercare for Tom. It's so fucked I can't even laugh, the amount of failure Kendall and Rome have to go through to reach the same state, the women in their life barely matter.
What's amazing is that moment between Shiv and Tom was mostly improvised by the actors even after the scene ended on the script.
"What am i gonna do with a soul anyways" pretty much sums up Greg lol
"Make your own fucking pile" is rich considering that just one episode earlier he was telling Kendall that he wont let him out.
The whole key to Logan's toxicity is that he not only always has to win, it's also that it always has to be at the kids' expense. If they try to succeed on their own, it's a betrayal and he torpedoes it. If they want to succeed with his help, they're weak and he berates them for not being independently successful. He can only be happy if they're failing.
Kendall still wanted out with $2 Billion of Logan's pile
@@jakefavre No. Kendall worked for decades and was interims CEO. Large part of his pay was in shares. Those 2 billions are not Logan's pile, it's part of Kendalls. Unless you think everyone in Waystar is supposed to work for free.
This ending left me SHOOK! My favorite episode/ending of the series.
Sarah Snook killed it too- so glad the directors gave her that reaction space
the gasps when y’all realize it was tom.. oh my god. truly one of the best season finales ever
Both her parents were so toxic. kids never had a chance
And they raised toxic kids.
Probably the most dramatic episode of the series and Roman being basically made the main character for this episode to build up to him finally going against his fathers wishes only to have it blow up in his face is such an incredible way of doing it and Kieran Culkin killed it with his performance. I especially love in his deepest moments of desperation after his father betrayed him pleading with Gerri to help him and her basically confirming she never actually cared about him.
I like to think she did care about him, just not more than she cared about herself. She was in a precarious position of not needing to seem too aligned with Roman after the dick pic fiasco, so it was the worst possible time for him to really truly need her. It would have been the nail in the coffin for her with Logan.
the end of the 3rd season was such a gut punch. also Roman kneeling before Gerri made me scream and cry
My favorite episode of Succession
one of 3 favorites!
And conor weeding
The episode made me go from I'm cheering for Tom to "TOM IS THE RIGHTFUL RULER"
It was Tom!
I completely forgot about that. That's why he asked Greg if he wanted he a deal with the devil.
They set themselves up for a great final Season and oh boy I cannot wait your reactions.
I really feel for any new current and future viewer of this show. They will never have the chance to experience what the rest of us experienced the first time this episode aired - the excruciatingly agonizing feeling of waiting for over a year for the Season 4 premiere after this crazy blockbuster of a season-ending. No other season finale has had me more shaken than this one. In this episode, Shiv had me at: "Mom f***d us." When she said that, it felt like a giant dagger was driven through my gut. I still remember vividly what I went through emotionally after watching this episode. I sat on the edge of my bed with my hands on my head constantly rocking up and down: all the while my entire body, from head to toe, was vibrating uncontrollably. I had the most intense chills and goosebumps I have ever had in my whole life at the end of it. This is definitely one of my favorite season finales of all time. Hope you all enjoy Season 4. I will definitely be tuning in here again for that one.
oh god i totally agree... i had to stay up till 3AM to watch it in real time and it was so worth it, watching it live was an unbelievable experience i just sat there motionless for 15 minutes after the episode ended
Totally!! I remember all of twitter being stunned. On Monday someone tweeted about how succession fans needs the day work bc the finale was too much. My body was vibrating until Tuesday. I’ve never been so shook for season finale. TOM! I’ve never gasped so loudly. I’m so glad I watched live with succession twitter as well. It was a time! I miss it
It was an experience for sure I love itttt
Watching this makes me wish more people would react to succession. The entire series builds up to this episode and it exceeds every highest expectation leaving you floored. Can’t wait for next season!
Seeing this episode live as it aired was wild! Twitter imploded; my timeline was just:
"TOM!"
"WTF, TOM?!"
"F'in Tom!!!" 😂
Also, Roman desperately grovelling to Gerri to intervene, and her cold response, damn! All the kids betrayed by everyone they thought were in their corner, in less than 5 minutes.
Bring on season 4! I can't wait!
I guess I was the only one rooting for Tom and Logan
Twitter was on fire that night. The collective shock was too much
@@LordTywinLannistertheBasedi hate Logan but I've been rooting for tom and Greg since he shredded the documents! The kids are awful
@Quzga I on the other hand, hate Greg and rooted for Tom and Logan from day 1.
@@LordTywinLannistertheBased That's def in character for Tywin! Tom and Logan are the only ones that had to work themselves up and aren't spoiled so I get you
I think Logan using language akin to conversion therapy was absolutely intentional and not many people pick it up. There's many lines throughout the show wrt Roman's sexuality that intentionally remind us of homophobia, and it's all mixed up with issues of CSA, masculinity, and Logan not thinking Roman is "man" enough because he's too emotional, because he loves too much. When Logan says, "I never figured you for a f*ggot" we're supposed to know that he absolutely has. When Shiv says later, "Dad thinks there's something wrong with you," it's supposed to remind us of conversion therapy - Roman's sexuality is something that needs fixing.
All of this is not to give us a definitive answer on Roman's sexuality. But Succession is using homophobia to tell a story about the pressures of masculinity in this family, and Roman is the one who isn't a man "correctly" enough.
Zero spoilers unless you already know what happens but I think people don't realise how important that reveal in the finale was for the entire series because no one really cared about the characters personal lives. It was always about blood. Lineage, what made Logan reconsider passing it on to his children? The answer got laid out in the end imo. I don't think Logan cares about the money or the business as much as he says, in his eyes these really are decisions for the family as a whole, it's just so twisted it's hard to see. He's just so much of an arsehole it's hard to see past our distaste for his actions.
All the characters sexualities matter, because they have to in a family where the patriarch is treated like a king and they fight over his love, it's fucked up.
Shiv showed Tom he wasn't even an afterthought in her decision-making process. She has them playacting at being a team but every time it's her growth that's prioritized and his is thrown by the wayside.
She keeps telling him she doesn't love him. She keeps *showing* him she's doesn't live him. Being married to her is no guarantee that he'll be taken care of. It's no guarantee that they will even stay together.
So he finally makes the play for himself. He takes care of himself. If only she had... Something for him. Just... Show him he factors in even a little bit. But...no...
I can’t thank you ladies enough for reacting to this fantastic show. Not everyone is doing it. And not everyone is having the thoughts & discussions you-two have. I look forward to these videos every week now. Thank you.
Tom's hand on Shiv's shoulders is exactly like the intro, where Logan has the same pose for Young Shiv
Am I the only one who got chills with soundtrack's Ending Credits?
The final season is incredible. Can't wait to experience it again
Willa does care about Connor. Her being a hooker does not exclude that. She is like a not so refined version of Marcia (who was tragically underused in the later seasons), who had her own agendas, but when was with Longan she was very supportive. I think they would be a good couple. Same with Roman and Tabitha, if Roman would clear his head more.
The one who is really f00ked in the relationship is Tom. They guy wanted a normal family and a kid, but he got Shiv instead.
He also wanted prestige and the privilege that comes with being inside of Roy's family, so he chose that and it turned out to be not fulfilling (surprise, surprise).
Idk about "normal family" when it comes to Tom. I think he's more about the money and power of it all, although I believe he dreamed of himself and Shiv teaming up to become a successful NY power couple. He wants to have a family with Shiv, but I think it's more 40% out of love for her and 60% a means to solidify his position within the family. And her knows Greg has leverage, so Tom's holding on to him is a way of having someone in the family who is 100% with him.
Yeah she doesn’t love him and she’s never hidden that but she does care for him especially seeing how his family ignores him
Y’all are the absolute best at reacting to this show! You just get it 😌👏
Thank you so much. that's why i wanted them to watch it so badly. i knew it was right up their alley.
Fun in Italy! I think Logan respects Matsson - since he build something by himself. His kids have not.
I watched the last scene a dozen times, and the line that always sticks out with me is "you nosy f*cking pedestrians". That's such a GREAT belittling insult.
The convo with Greg and Tom changes tune once the ending it revealed, this show hits every single aspect
I literally screamed at the end of this. It was so good and I felt bad because this was such a rough season for their sibling dynamics and the one time they come together they get screwed over by their mom and Tom.
It was like watching the superbowl in my house. there was hooting AND hollering
2 years since this episode aired and it still manages to blow me away
I've known this reaction was going to be great for months and it did not disappoint. I can't wait to see the season 4 reviews oh, my God.
Succession is a masterpiece
yet another Jeremy Strong masterpiece of character acting.
Love that in this episode Logan and Caroline is f*cking their kids over but also, in its sicknes, act like parents for the first time and decides that it is time that the kids needs to grow up and not be dependent on them for a change :P
the company is logan's favourite child
Watching the sibs in the car after watching the whole show hits so different
This was my absolute favorite episode of the entire show. It was perfect. 10/10 no notes
when tom said the deal with the devil line i remember being like uh…. but i thought no no way and then bam. so good
Shiv lookin like a Goddess
One of my favorite episodes. I cannot wait for the next season with you guys. I know you're a few episodes ahead so you have an idea but holy f**k did they ever stick the landing.
Your Succession reactions are always excellent, thank you so much for sharing them! I look forward to hearing your thoughts on season 4 :)
28:49 Tom siding with Logan was a smart move. What a reveal at the end!
Top Episode, This one
Season 2 finale was the best IMO
you didn't notice Kendall notice the cleaners
one detail i really like about this episode is the fact that roman and kerry are wearing matching clothing in both scenes they have together
One of the great episodes of television.
Best finale in succession
what a great episode, Kendall just kills me😭
God I love this show/episode! So good.
It's crazy that you guys are watching this & Breaking Bad at the same time. Two of the best shows of the last 20 years & probably all time!
Thank you. I knew they'd like em.
This episode was incredible. The crazy part is this is like my second favorite episode. There is better episodes to come. I love the final scene with Shiv and Tom.
I love that Roman and Shiv are heartbroken and SO pissed that they lost to their dad...but for Ken it's just another Tuesday
Man, as we eclipse season 3 its time to strap in
Cant wait for you guys to react to season 4. the best one.
Logan is amazing love him 😹
Just finished watching Season 2. Episode 3 Now Shiv feels Tom's pain
I really love Tom for this. Like really love love Tom for this
It's shit what happens to the siblings at the end but I can't blame Tom for his choice after how he has been treated by Shiv and this family
I get Connor here. I'm not the oldest in my family but I am the only and therefore the eldest son, and we need the respect we deserve.
Hell, technically im the only child, the rest of my siblings are half siblings lol, so whos the eldest now? Lol
And Ken with the "what I actually lost", you never had anything but an entitled feeling, bro. You didn't lose anything because you had nothing.
One of the first times I loved Shiv was this episode. But it was also kinda the last... She's one of the best female characters but I hate her.
Kendall's confession is my favorite scene in the whole show. It's fucking beautiful.
Kendall's weakness has always been heavily symbolized in water. Here, it's dirt. Literally the opposite and in the back of the building with the trash and staff. A place where the kids NEVER go. And he reaches the limit. He can't even stand anymore. He collapses into the dirt and truly confesses. And Roman and Shiv just......forgive him. It never occurred to me that they would even consider that. Kendall finally gets the support he needs. He gets out of the dirt and he walks out.
Like I said, it's fucking beautiful.
I can’t wait for this I can honestly say I’ve never been angrier at a fictional character in my entire life
who were u mad at? Tom?
Who are u talking about bro ?
Connor for not killing everyone?
@@philipgodsworth4764 no mommy dearest 🙄
Ariana gets it i love it!
This episode dropping the day after Matthew Perry...
I feel you on the Greg not being able to pick a side but we do know eventually he always ends up with Tom. Whether it's out of cowardice, avarice or some secret third thing, Greg picks Tom.
i hate how roman was matching kerry with the color of outfits
based
TOM ON THE FUCKING TOP
The beautiful thing about this show is that, they are all horrible people. Only uncle Euan has a somewhat of a soul.
The kids getting what they deserve.
Nero and Sporus the ones to cheer for
They deserve abuse? Stopped Ken from getting out, lured Shiv in from successful career and abused Roman so much that he's afraid to even speak against.
Can stuff it.
@@kvm6 abuse maybe not. But I don't think they deserve any power in the company, they deserve to be told to go make their own pile of money after yet again... Failing to dethrone their (no doubt horrible) dad.
@@SavageGordon But does he ever allow them to get out of his thumb? I already gave examples of him not letting anyone be out of there. How would anyone make a pile if doesn't even want them out of it?
@@kvm6 Sure, he is also a terrible person. They are adults though. That is why #teamsporusandnero
Please watch industry
After Succession you should dig into Black Sails. One of the most underrated shows ever.
lol thats a hard left turn
@@Diegesis left turn but another amazing show.
Kind of interesting that the humorous lines get no reaction out of either of you
Their Mom definitely wasn't great but i actually think she did what she thought was the best thing for them. I don't want to spoil anything but if you watch the beginning of season 4, thats probably the happiest/healthiest the siblings ever seem with one another. I genuinely think Caroline has the best intentions here!
No way. Caroline is worse than Logan.
Nah bruh
@@Diegesis I'm not going to spoil. Just wait and see 👍
@@nikhilajith8880 So you think Waystar has been healthy for the siblings???
as someone who watched s4 Caroline wasn’t even thinking about their well-being she was thinking about herself she didn’t even know what the children would do later on. She has traded them in for gain all their lives
Oh nooooo, they'll only be worth 1 or 2 billion dollars each!! Pooooooor babies!!!!
3 episodes left for THE EVENT!!.
3 entitled and spoiled Nepo-Babies
even you're forgetting connor! lol jk
@@Diegesis I excluded him because although he asks for money still, he’s the least of the power hungry money grubbing bastards🤣, that was funny tho lol
I get Logan is a piece of crap but their consistent fighting every single thing he says is frustrating
Logan is harsh and a jerk but he is right. Make your own pile. I can feel bad for kids with that much money.
All four kids are billionaires. With no real responsibility. I get that we create who our children are but at the same time, they need to grow up.
Why didn't he let go of Ken then in previous episode? Why did he lure in Shiv when she was making her own career?
He just wants them under his thumb.
I can't even be mad at this opinion, Logan's gaslighting is so good it reached the audience too 🤣
Logan is literally a war veteran, his upbringing was absolutely terrible and his life has been extremely tough, his kids can do literally whatever they want, ya'll hating on logan too much
Shiv is the worst person on the show
Logan dehumanizes his kids, employees, talks smack and bullies people into partnership, has abused his kids and always gaslights them. He has cheated on all his wives. He is far worse than Shiv.
I don’t think Logan ever served in any war, just had a collection of medals (unless you’re talking about his experience as a child during WWII)
Lmao
LOL
