It's not even this i don't think, it all stems to the car accident at the castle. Whenever he hears about his self addiction, it reminds him of that night and when he made that tragic mistake which was impacted by the drugs and addiction. I feel this is likely the point, as prior to this scene earlier in the day, Logans assistant, said to him "I know you" knowing.. you know, about the mess he had to clear up in England for Kendal. Kendal hates to be reminded about this addiction to drugs because it reminds him of the crash and it's the only one thing that will prevent him from gaining power of the family business if it came out or was threatened to come up. And I do think that Logan may use it against him later in the season, i really reallly do.
@@patrickbarks997 I think if Logan ever uses it, it would be after he dies to prevent Kendall from gaining control of the company after his death since he's implicated in the cover up.
I think what makes this worse is how Kendall asked Shiv last season to be there for him when he was basically suicidal. And for her to turn on him in this way, so publicly, shows how truly alone he is.
It’s horrible to watch; the siblings clearly, on a deep level, under everything, care for and love each other, and they do the most horrible, vile shit to each other in service to a father who uses them all as tools and who they struggle to remember even one single happy childhood memory with. It’s tragic.
@@kinare1853 yup he did. He thought he could act like his dad and insult his siblings without any retaliation. He forgot that when it comes to PR shiv has way more on him than he has on her, because she didn't have all these public scandals.
@@user-lr2iy7mc7w I don’t know about shiv’s not having any scandals . Although it may not be public but I have this nagging feeling. her open marriage is about to be exposed to the public.
This entire episode was one giant emotional buildup for Kendall. Trying to get a tough skin against all the negative press he was getting. Pretending it was making him stronger when really it was just eating at him more and more. The facade he was putting on being slowly broken down by his narcissism and need to be liked. Then Shiv hits him with the death blow and he finally succumbs.
@@zurzakne-etra7069 yep. It shows while personally he’s vulnerable, from a business standpoint he still holds all the cards. The choice of which of those realities wins out is his alone.
I cant decide what was sadder? Ken in foetus position or Logan saying "whats this fishing thing I dont remeber" and Roman saying it was probably Connor.
Logan knew all along that it was a lie. The writing is amazing as Logan seems the be the only character that intimidated Romain. The facial expressions and body language between the two is very telling and amazing acting
That's very true. My husband knows where to punch and I know where to slice, figurative speaking only of course. We know each other's 'trigger points.'
The thing about me is that the siblings all seem to know how terrible Logan is. They all contemplate betraying him at some point and yet they still all cling to him. Kendall is the only one so far to step up to his father in any meaningful way, but the man is so DAMAGED, he literally cannot stand on his own without seeking the validation and assurance of someone. For so long he could just point to his dad as the only bad guy, and the cause for all his problems but he's just as bad as on his own. He pulls away from his father only to start doing the same shitty things to other people. Tattooing homeless men, doing excessive drugs, neglecting his children, shitting on the big moments of people close to him. So Shiv's letter tearing him down hit exactly at his weak point. Because he knows it's all true and he hasn't grown up enough to accept his flaws and shortcomings. He bounces back and forth between feeling like the king of the world to feeling like absolute shit because he has no real sense of self.
Nailed it. I root for him because Logan fucked them all up (and their mother is terrible too) and Kendall is the one who tries to at least rebel against the mistreatment (tbf, in the show Logan mostly fucks up Kendall, like planting fake rumours about his relapse or asking him to go jail for a sexual abuse and murder racket, this is worse than anything Logan does to Roman and Shiv on the show and thus is not tough love-- who needs enemies when you own parent is like that?) Kendall tries to get back at his abuser and I root for him, but he's so amoral and delusional that he fucks it all up. If these siblings had a better bonding amongst themselves they could have broken the cycle of abuse but they are too busy cutting each other down or don't trust each other, sadly.
how is she meanest when roman literally endorses a nazi for president, how convenient for you to forget about his sexual comments towards his little sister and towards other women like gerri, and how he literally committed sexual harassment but ppl overlook that part. how convenient.
exactly its just because shes a woman,if they dont say shes the best in public.They will seem like thay dont like women.When in actual fact,it is truly seen that men are actively running this show preety nicely.Even Tom is better than that shivon
Shiv is presented as the left-leaning woman of the group, so the public perceives her as warm and personable when she's just as ruthless as her father.
The only thing that has probably saved Kendall having to go through days of the letter being in the news is the timing of the FBI’s raid. Shiv looked horror stricken watching it, but I can’t tell if it made Ken smirk a bit seeing the chaos and bad PR it will cause for Logan and Shiv.
Logan feels Roman not signing letter is due to tactics when he just didn’t want to hurt his brother that much and logan doesn’t get it and then says downs remember an actual happy childhood moment
Oooh, dunno in terms of drama he is absolutely incredible. His breakdown in Italy manages to be heartbreaking despite knowing he is a Grade A dickhead but there is no way any Kendall moment tops Roman’s dick pic: that shifty little look on his face as he tries to sink into the desk when he realises who the recipient actually was…fan-flippin'-tastic! So, yeah maybe Jeremy is the best dramatic actor (but is he, really? It’s such an incredible cast!) but he can’t hold a candle to Kieran in comedic terms!
@@disavowalf3351 Kieran's physical acting and comedic timing is excellent, but no one quite does emotional vulnerability and painful earnestness the way Jeremy does. Kieran really embodies the fucked up outgrown child that Roman is, but the way Jeremy's Kendall reverts to a scared little boy and a hollow shell of a person under his father's abuse is so moving, and harrowing. Their roles are so different though that I don't even see a point in comparing. They're both excellent actors.
It's so brutal how in his most fragile moments he truly has no one to support him and his family only kicks him when he's already down. Like Logan when he publishes the fake stories of him going on a bender after the failed takeover attempt, or when he blackmails him after the waiter's death, pulls him out of recovery after 48h and expects him to be all right without any help. Shiv and Logan in this moment surely have a reason to be at odds with him, but they really stab where it hurts the most when Kendall is on his fragile ego trip, ready to crash down from his manic episode any time. Roman of course quite literally shoves him at his own birthday party. His siblings at least do love him, but they still hurt him. Kendall is completely alone in the world and has no one to turn to. No one who would take care of him and support him through his trauma and addiction, no one who would show genuine love and affection.
Yeah. Because they have narcissistic father and mother and their father always taught his kids to fight for his love and validation instead of love and support each other. Roman is like a kicked puppy who gets called slurs, gets hit and doesn't have a single good memory with his dad but still chooses to be daddy's lapdog instead of backing his brother (who his father threw under the bus for crimes he didn't commit) because he cannot watch his elder brother be the CEO (also because he doesn't trust Kendall - which makes sense because Kendall is emotionally unstable which makes him unreliable, but if I had a dad like Logan and my dad wanted my brother to go jail for serious crimes he didn't commit and planted fake rumours of his relapse, I'd not support my dad against him).
Seriously, try doing what Jeremy does in this scene: walk towards the camera without ever looking into it, gradually descending into despair but working harder and harder to hide it, with the embarrassment of it all worsening as he passes each and every person. Like a lot of his best work, it just looks...real.
Kendall has been cringe these past few episodes especially as he’s trying to present this transparently fake pseudo progressive persona, but damn did I really feel bad for him here.
Feel bad for Kendall? Romain should get the most empathy with lack of parental love and support from Logan. It’s obvious he vires the kid as an semi embarrassment and least favorite
I appreciate the Shiv hate but honestly Roman is the worst overall person in the show. The way he become best buddies with the alt right presidential candidate last episode shows that. Even going back to the very first episode when he ripped up a million dollar check in a poor kids face, he's the most broken character in the show and a lot of it isn't even on Logan. Most of it is him being the youngest rich kid in a billion dollar family smh.
He’s actually the third sibling with Shiv being the youngest, which shifts the dynamic a little. But yes, regardless of all the abuse he’s hinted at having endured as a child, he has serious “affluenza” and has no right to treat people the way he does.
Jeremy does a great job of having your feel sympathetic towards Kendall but let’s not forget his “Rape Me” thing over Shiv’s first public speech as president of whatever.
It wasn’t directed at Shiv personally, she just so happened to be speaking at the time, it was to embarrass the company and his father. Shiv’s letter was vindictive, spiteful, and directed at Kendall personally. Big difference.
Ok that was bad but compared to what she did it was literally a prank. She public ally humiliated him about all the things he regrets about his life wheter he just played a song at her inaguration. I dont justify Kendall but its obvious which is worse
it's crazy how all of the siblings turn on each other when it is their turn in the limelight When Shiv thought she was Logan's favorite she readily put Ken on blast after she KNEW how shaky he was after he came to hear last season When Roman thought HE was Logan's favorite he had no problem kicking ken when he was already down at his birthday and publically humiliating him even though he wouldn't sign off on this letter...
I can't believe I held off on this masterpiece for so long assuming it would be some half-assed Fox News satire lol, this is truly some of the best writing I've ever seen put to screen
I totally feel like he could have turned that around. Attacking him publicly for being an addict is a low blow and she topped it off with saying he needs “space”. I would have still gone on despite what those handlers were saying. He could have made her look even worse and they would have gotten raided right after.
Yeah, I would’ve gone out there and leaned into it hard. The scared animal attacks when threatened, that sort of thing. And as to Shiv’s personal attacks, argue ridiculous minute details of the letter, grammar, word usage, etc. Don’t argue the facts, but definitely don’t try and hide from it.
@@kendallroyclips he really lost all confidence in that moment, and was practically told he can’t go on. It does set up the moment that he sees the news about the raid and starts to smile
except Kendall is SEVERLY traumatized by the way people perceive him. Dude's got one of the lowest self-esteems I've ever seen a fictional character have before and watching his own sister air out his addiction like that was just too much for him to even come up with a revenge plan. I also don't think he ever thought Shiv would do that to him, as they all always seemed to insult each other straight to their faces but never actually in a public manner.
@@ManUntdForever uh I don’t know about that, we know ewan wouldn’t turn against Logan but there’s no indication it would be the other way around I mean he was willing to throw Kendall under the bud
@@Lightningkuriboh well said. But i think at the end of the day, Logan’s still pretty traditional in the sense that Ewan is still his big brother and I think that means something to Logan (but that’s just my opinion, maybe we’ll see more of their relationship down the road).
Not really. She sacrificed huge personal capital to knee-cap her brother. Her letter wasn't skillful, any of the siblings could nuke each other like that (but don't because it risks mutually assured destruction and sinks the company they all depend on for their fortunes). If Shiv had killer instinct then she would of gotten something out of this massive personal betrayal, instead she ends the season just as screwed as her brothers and is in an even worse place (the worst out of all the siblings) by early next season.
Just like how succession is loosely based on the Murdochs. That family also has its dysfunctions and with the dad putting all the siblings against each other and teasing them with the ceo role without ever leaving his position
Anyone else getting potential suicide storylines for later ahead this season? Tom and Kendall definitely the two most likely. If Kendall cant take down Logan, he would rather die, a last ditch effort to do it, which will obviously fail.
hey mate, I tried to upload it but there's a copyright claim, unfortunately it gets blocked as soon as I try to. Hence why this clip stops right before the music kicks in actually I just checked and this here video is blocked in my country (France). It's partially blocked lmao
Kendall is so overconfident and manic before even winning and then when he's attacked he just falls apart. He's so fragile and deeply emotional but also as selfish and delusional as a rich nepo baby heir would be. Amazingly written character. You can see even in his highs he's awkward and uncharismatic but he can buy his way through things. He's not moral, but when he falls apart he's so deeply in pain and Jeremy Strong portrays his pain so well that you are able to empathise with him inspite of knowing his misgivings. The show portrays all his flaws and delusion and how he lacks principles but also manages to make you feel bad for him?? He's a complete train wreck
I cringe just THINKING of Kendall going on a Lily Singh type talk show where he’d get blasted for…… anything. Because there’s no WAY he’d do well under any circumstances! Ben Affleck couldn’t even handle going on Colbert after some harassment allegations came forth.
@@hasna7542 i don't think she is there yet, but she is going in that direction, at the moment she is Ken in season 2, just trying to please her dad, when what he truly wants is one of his children to take him down, not saying it's healthy but that's what he wants
He can take all of the insults talk shows and news outlets could throw at him but coming from his own family, that's a gut punch
It’s not that it’s from his family, they say worse stuff to each other’s faces almost everytime they interact. It’s the fact that she said it publicly
@@Flamerunner451 oh yeah I forgot publicly

Looks like Shiv took out the part about Kendall being an “absentee father” after hearing Connor and Roman’s reaction

I AGREE COMPLETELY TBFH
She's the most like Caroline, their mother.
And the most recent episode makes her even more so. The absolute worst
Well she is the *nicest* , but nice is different than good

Misery loves company
Shiv is a master of casual cruelty

"She's the nice one" looool
2:20 this pause before that main musical motif slowly trickles in gives me the chills, what a score
Jeremy Strong is a magnificent actor!
Totally agree. In a show that’s perfectly casted with amazing actors he really stands out as the best.
Oooh, dunno in terms of drama he is absolutely incredible. His breakdown in Italy manages to be heartbreaking despite knowing he is a Grade A dickhead but there is no way any Kendall moment tops Roman’s dick pic: that shifty little look on his face as he tries to sink into the desk when he realises who the recipient actually was…fan-flippin'-tastic! So, yeah maybe Jeremy is the best dramatic actor (but is he, really? It’s such an incredible cast!) but he can’t hold a candle to Kieran in comedic terms!

I feel like his ex wife is the only nice person on this show, so she probably tried, but he had screwed up too many times for her to handle it.
Yeah. Because they have narcissistic father and mother and their father always taught his kids to fight for his love and validation instead of love and support each other.

Jeremy Strong securing his other emmy

Anyone else getting potential suicide storylines for later ahead this season? Tom and Kendall definitely the two most likely. If Kendall cant take down Logan, he would rather die, a last ditch effort to do it, which will obviously fail.
Thanks for uploading these clips so quickly! Could you please clip the FBI's arrival at the end of ep 3?
hey mate, I tried to upload it but there's a copyright claim, unfortunately it gets blocked as soon as I try to. Hence why this clip stops right before the music kicks in
actually I just checked and this here video is blocked in my country (France). It's partially blocked lmao
@@kendallroyclips Damn HBO is ruthless
Kendall is so overconfident and manic before even winning and then when he's attacked he just falls apart. He's so fragile and deeply emotional but also as selfish and delusional as a rich nepo baby heir would be. Amazingly written character. You can see even in his highs he's awkward and uncharismatic but he can buy his way through things. He's not moral, but when he falls apart he's so deeply in pain and Jeremy Strong portrays his pain so well that you are able to empathise with him inspite of knowing his misgivings. The show portrays all his flaws and delusion and how he lacks principles but also manages to make you feel bad for him?? He's a complete train wreck
Logan mocking Roman sounds awfully similar to him mocking Shiv in the finale
I like how the phone ringtone was in the same key as the background score, lent this scene a more ominous air.
I cringe just THINKING of Kendall going on a Lily Singh type talk show where he’d get blasted for…… anything.
Because there’s no WAY he’d do well under any circumstances!
Ben Affleck couldn’t even handle going on Colbert after some harassment allegations came forth.
4:08 just fucking scary.
"Kendall wins, but loses" right );
Shiv best
Don't mess with Shiv fucking Roy
She attacked him personally, im sucking of this fucking girlboss agenda. Shes a fucking monster you cunt
She’s been pretty cast aside though now
Shiv is always emotional when shit hits the fan and she will do anything to win. She will never lead, ain't tactical enough.
“She’s the fucking nice one.” Ha
And there goes another Emmy Award.
“And she’s the nice one” ahh the irony…
She is compared to roman
Revenge is sweet! Go Shiv!
fucked up
Now Kendall has gotten his revenge lol
I've never liked Shiv but I despised her during season 3.
They are all awful but yeah this honestly was the most brutal scene in the show. It’s worse because she knew what it would do.
💀😭
Shiv may be worse than Logan
lol what
@@hasna7542 i don't think she is there yet, but she is going in that direction, at the moment she is Ken in season 2, just trying to please her dad, when what he truly wants is one of his children to take him down, not saying it's healthy but that's what he wants
@@hasna7542 facts
How is she the worst, literally just say you don't bother to understand complex women, but sympathize with assholes
