The sad thing is if Shiv, Kendall and Roman joined forces, they'd be formidable. But they're all too broken to realize that. Logan always wins because he knows what buttons to push to divide and conquer.
Exactly and I feel like the show is not trying to say Logan is some kind of goat or badass, we see how erratic his decision making business wise can be, but he keeps winning because the show needs him to as he represents the corrupt people in power. The cyclical nature of abuse in the family ends up happening outside of it too
It's a bit funny to think a lot of people, myself included, were expecting Kendall to be fully unleashed this season, like he was going beast mode for his war with Logan. Season 3 made me feel silly for thinking that was a real possibility. It's frustrating to watch and somehow even more cringe than "L to the OG", but it's realistic.
Also, big mistake on the siblings to not go with Ken. What the hell were they thinking when they said they wanted to be ceos and not him? He started the thing. And it's crazy because Shiv didn't decide to join because of Tom and Roman because of Gerri and look how that turned out.. They certainly will regret this
Kendall was wrong for doing the Nirvana thing? Yes. But it was the type of stuff a 7 year old would do and it was pretty harmless since only the people at Waystar( who support Shiv) saw. But she reacted by exposing every thing he hates about himself to the world. Brings back to mind when he asked her to take care of him because he didn't know if he would still be alive if it wasn't for his dad. First she told Logan to send him to jail and now this. I really like Shiv as a character but things like these make me happy for what happened in 3x9
"it was pretty harmless since only the people at Waystar( who support Shiv) saw." Bro what century do you live in? Theres a lot of people there and literally everyone has smartphones.. Someone 100% recorded that and put it on internet or sold to some news paper. But lets pretend that didnt happen (even though it 100% did the show expects you to come to this conclusion by urself) That was probaly Shivs first really big moment in front of the whole company and Ken ruined it for her. What she did is petty sure but what Kendall did is not "harmless"
Kendall is great, but he will never love himself enough to step up to his potential. Forever the ultimate self saboteur, acts over confident to mask his pain. Yet when he is about to get a win, he sabotages it cause he thinks it is too good to be true.
You’ve witnessed Tom starting to play his own game. He’s moved from the checkers board to the chess board. He knows this family & Shiv don’t give a shit about him when it comes to themselves.
i think she loves him but in the the toxic way that logan teached love. She needs him to feel superior too and he is the escapegoat for all the rage she wishes to throw at her dad but can't.
Hi Jimmy, don't feel bad for Tom. He's one of those reptiles that will be around way past the extinction of humanity. But Kendall is his own worst enemy. It breaks my heart.
I can't watch farther because I have stopped at 3x3. Not in the right state of mind to believe i can handle Kendall's fall (it's not a spoiler, I don't know how it ends buuut we all know how it ends) without depression... but good luck to you. I will come back, super interested in your reactions. "Winter soldier of shows" phrase prove perfectly i am in the right place for my taste) and thank you and fuck off
I'm exactly at this episode right now and i agree with you that I'm completely invested in each and everyone of these awful, awful contemptuous assholes.
How is Kendal being a mess immiscible w/Kendal being human? Humans are messy AF. If anything, Kendal being a mess puts me more on his side. Which is why I’m also rooting for Tom. They both need serious therapy but they’re the most empathizable characters on the show
I'd like you to react to The Wire if you never seen it. You are going to love it. It's about street gangs, cops, politic and fiends. Strong dialogue, brilliant cast, best plot ever. If you liked Succession and Game Of Thrones, it's your next show to react to.
0:20 to be fair, I think Saddam is a better parent than Logan... 0:53 There arent very many likeable people in this show... 1:26 Geri/Roman is indeed freaky... 1:36 There are not many good people on this show and none of them have any Roy blood in their veins... 3:00 Greg in law situations is less than ideal. 3:28 Brilliant work by Kendall... 3:52 Logan's brother is just a big a jerk as Logan, but dialed a different way... 6:08 Roman knows what the deal is, though he doesnt seem to keep that in mind all the time... 7:31 YES HE WOULD 8:20 Kendall thought he had them and when that fell apart he lost his mind. Dude cannot keep it together. 10:00 This show is easy to like because it is a trainwreck into a pile-up pushed into a airplane crash. Its full of cringe with twists and turns...
i always thought its funny that Shyv is apparently seen as "woke" and a leftist when really she's just as bad as Logan or anyone else in the family, i cant think of a single thing about her that i feel is "leftist" or "woke".
Seriously. She even made it clear she disliked the leftist policies of the Sanders stand-in she worked for in S1 and planned to push him to the centre.
@@chance757 By HBO/the writers. I binged the entire series recently thinking Shiv was older than Roman too, only to find out afterwards that Shiv is the youngest. XD
it really frustrated me that Kendall didn't grow from the first season at all. In fact, it seems to me that he's gotten even worse. Always acting like a coked up maniac like you said. I guess Gus was right. "Never trust a drug addict."

@@taraselvik2531 it represents how easily manipulated we, the broken, are played into their hands tbh.
I was dying laughing for 30 straight minutes after that Nirvana track played over Shiv.

Kendall is such a fuck up in a sad puppy kinda way, that's why we love him.
Your comment about how invested you suddenly find yourself being with all these characters you don't even like is literally the Succession pipeline
So god damn excited for your reaction to the season finale. It's magical.
holy shit man, i can’t believe more people aren’t reacting to this show
arguably the greatest show of all time
Also, big mistake on the siblings to not go with Ken. What the hell were they thinking when they said they wanted to be ceos and not him? He started the thing. And it's crazy because Shiv didn't decide to join because of Tom and Roman because of Gerri and look how that turned out.. They certainly will regret this

The acting on that hallway scene is insane good
Mutually assured destruction... this show is so much fun...
Kendall is a mess but he's my mess lmao
Logan sending his bodyguard to threaten Kendall and discourage is him is such a bloodthirtsy move.
You’ve witnessed Tom starting to play his own game. He’s moved from the checkers board to the chess board. He knows this family & Shiv don’t give a shit about him when it comes to themselves.

The show is too good!! And yes, that theme bumps!!! So does the theme that plays when Kendall arrives to appear on that show.
Good tweet? Bad tweet? They're all bad, baby. $8 verification!
Hi Jimmy, don't feel bad for Tom. He's one of those reptiles that will be around way past the extinction of humanity. But Kendall is his own worst enemy. It breaks my heart.
I dont think that Tom will last.
Kendall almost them. Then Logan got them all scurrying back with a box of donuts... L to the OG indeed...
Oh God I loved the third episode. Just amazing.

I’ve seen it and loved it. In my top five.
Agreed great writing and acting, you also might like Yellowstone (1883, 1923, and the series). Both Yellowstone and Succession have many similarities.
LETS GO RIGHT DURING MY LUNCH BREAK
What’s for lunch 🤨
Steak burrito my guy
0:20 to be fair, I think Saddam is a better parent than Logan...
0:53 There arent very many likeable people in this show...
1:26 Geri/Roman is indeed freaky...
1:36 There are not many good people on this show and none of them have any Roy blood in their veins...
3:00 Greg in law situations is less than ideal.
3:28 Brilliant work by Kendall...
3:52 Logan's brother is just a big a jerk as Logan, but dialed a different way...
6:08 Roman knows what the deal is, though he doesnt seem to keep that in mind all the time...
7:31 YES HE WOULD
8:20 Kendall thought he had them and when that fell apart he lost his mind. Dude cannot keep it together.
10:00 This show is easy to like because it is a trainwreck into a pile-up pushed into a airplane crash. Its full of cringe with twists and turns...

Seriously. She even made it clear she disliked the leftist policies of the Sanders stand-in she worked for in S1 and planned to push him to the centre.
i think it’s simply because she’s a woman and that she worked for a couple of dems lol
actually shiv is the youngest, the order goes: Conner, Kendall, Roman, Shiv
really? where was that confirmed? roman has BIG “youngest child” energy and the boy that represents him in the opening is the smallest too!
@@chance757 By HBO/the writers. I binged the entire series recently thinking Shiv was older than Roman too, only to find out afterwards that Shiv is the youngest. XD
So is there anybody in this show to root for? I guess I'm still team Logan but that could change.
You think it was Kendall who played the song??
Yes. I can’t see it being some Machiavellian ploy.
Shiv obviously thought it was Kendall. That's why she retaliated.
it really frustrated me that Kendall didn't grow from the first season at all. In fact, it seems to me that he's gotten even worse. Always acting like a coked up maniac like you said.
I guess Gus was right. "Never trust a drug addict."
I do feel this season is a bit slower paced, quieter, etc
