Succession 3x1

In an old non-American's eyes, Will Ferrell is the guy from SNL and SNL is the heart of sane America. It's touching his journey came to this and I adore him even more for it.

Pater-san

I might be wrong, but I think the UK police might be unaware because his dad's people got to the scene first and tampered evidence. It'll be an unwise move for Logan as well to pile on more scandals while the corporation is imploding with the cruises and the hostile takeover. I heard an argument that Kendall didn't *technically* cause the accident because it's the kid who grabbed the steering wheel. I personally think Kendall still caused it by by DUI in a foreign country. I need to know how Kendall got over this moral conundrum...!

Pater-san

Jess wasn’t waiting on the curb when Karolina got out. She was already in the car with them, but she was just sitting shotgun (you can hear Kendall speak to her when they all got in the car).

Saeng

Yeah Logan would've loved it if Roman had demanded it and taken it from his hand but instead he politely asked.

Pater-san

Logan looking like the Mr.Krabs meme at the end had me dying

Sham3ful

I don’t think he said Roman’s out because he wanted it I think it was because it goes back to what he was saying to Ken in last season finale “you’re not a killer”

Alan

I totally forgot Kendall is on the run for murder and his dad and uk police know and saved him. How would you even get around that?

Richard

Not just Shameless, both versions of Shameless - the American one and the UK one it is based on. Also, most shows don't use the same director for every episode. The only thing that tends to be consistent is the showrunner, who basically oversees the whole show and gets the final say on everything. Succession's showrunner is another Brit named Jesse Armstrong. Here's a funny thing that some people never catch on this show - one of the executive producers is Will Ferrell. Yes, that Will Ferrell. The show was developed by the production company that he co-owned with Adam McKay, Gary Sanchez Productions.

@Aaron I adore them both so much lmao. They're so fun!

Briana J

I just want to say how happy I am you guys are enjoying this show. I was here when it was first floated in polls and sometimes people would be like "they won't like it/they won't get it" and well those people were clearly wrong. Look at my goats go man

ok

It's what makes the show so good imo. The characters are not superheroes, they aren't tapped into omniscience, they work with what they got. Sometimes they get blindsided and having to work their way out of a rut is what characterizes their successful moves.

ok

Jess is an underrated goat

ok

Isn't it so funny that when Kendall is all puppy like and at his most defeated he seems like the clear best choice? But whenever he breaks free from that it's like "oh everything will go wrong for him" I've seen this show alot and I still flip flop on Kendall in this respect all the time.

ok

Glad someone else admits it lol

Thulani Mason

Sanaa as Lisa? Im here for it. Also when is Gerri gonna lay it on Roman?

Keevondrick Womack

The ipad coke is definitely terrible, but the 3 years sober means Kendall clearly tried and was successful in turning it around, but Rava never "forgave him" I guess, but they haven't told us more. Rava woulda thrown it at his face if there were more terrible incidents, but she hasn't. So idk, the Kendall 3 years sober thing just makes Rava seem like the bitter one when Kendall clearly cleaned himself up and wanted to start over... or at least have a relationship with the kids, which Rava doesn't really want. I will say that y'all are undervaluing 3 years sober thing A LOT, there is no "constantly looking to relapse" when its been 3 years SOBER.. it does mean he was over the drug issue. But being told that he was not allowed to see his kids anymore was the major blow, which made him relapse after 3 years, which is definitely understandable.

Drake Rage

I felt for Kendall during that time before he relapsed and I'm sure it felt very unfair to him. But I don't think she was being nasty just to be nasty but because it seems like she's been burned a lot by him in the past. Relapse is unfortunately pretty common for addicts and sadly people lose patience and trust.

jerry

lisa being sanaa lathan got me

Michael Salone

I’m just gonna say it….im obsessed with Gerri and Roman scenes/interactions 😆😆 chemistry at 100👏

Akila Yaw

Leaving coke on the kids ipads is a lot worse than just doing coke in your own spare time because it signals a complete lack of control or thought for the consequences. The kids could die or at least get extremely sick from even minor exposure to cocaine. Also, while Logan may have contributed to pushing Kendall over the edge, Kendall made that choice himself, and he made it pretty fast. He is constantly looking for a reason to relapse, and Rava knows that. Going to rehab is not enough, he needs to be in NA or something similar, probably for the rest of his life. He always minimizes how big of a problem his drug use is. Roman, Stewie, and Tom do coke too but they don't lose control like Kendall does.

John Cedar

Tom is finally done with her shit, in glad

ShaquanVirse

“Thank you” in response to I love you is crazy 😭. That was pretty much Tom saying “despite everything that’s happening, I’m still pissed at you Shiv”

Matt

The coke ipad was the only given example, (I will say that being a bad partner and not attentive dad is prolly common to all these ultra wealthy people, lol) if they give more information in the future regarding what terrible shit Kendall must have done for Rava to be like this, then it will be fine... but if the coke ipad is all there is...... then it just relates to drugs, which he was sober for 3 years for (after the ipad incident), which Rava never acknowledged, I guess.... so it still points towards Rava going out of her way to basically always be negative towards Kendall and just being "fake pleasant" AND passive aggressive, like there is no way Rava is clean in this from the way she interacts and responds to Kendall basically every time, at least with the information given so far, it doesn't make sense for Rava to be acting that way. Not enough info against Kendall to warrant that from Rava, basically. Especially how awful it was when she used the fake tabloids to prevent him from seeing his kids that led to Kendall's RAPID descent into.. well all the stuff that happened when he started taking drugs again because of that.

Drake Rage

I think it's because Shiv doesn't work for the company. So when she says things and isn't taken seriously it's expected and when she acts like it isn't people get annoyed.

CentipedeKid

Yeah but this is different Shiv is doing her betrayal out of emotion.

CentipedeKid

Yeah I don’t think any of them “care about the company” in terms of it being an institution to improve people’s lives or whatever. They’re all trying to fill the void in themselves and Shiv is no different although she gets the most shit for it in the comments.

jerry

Yeah exactly I think when people view characters as props to get the plot from A to B they can only conceptualize a very narrow lens for motivation. That ambiguity is part of the point. When we all know from our own lives that people are perfectly capable of holding and acting on a million different contradictory impulses. People who say they love you (and truly mean it) can still fuck you.

jerry

Well obviously we don’t have full access to their marriage history but we’ve been given a lot of indications that Kendall, even sober is not a particularly attentive dad and was probably a bad partner. Like not being a drug addict is the bare minimum and I’m sure the coke on the iPad thing was illustrative not the only bad thing he ever did lol Also yeah he clearly went there for a pat on the back and he’s not doing it for them, she saw right through him and that’s why he’s uncomfortable.

jerry

THE JUICE IS LOOSE

jerry

As Lupa stated it was a weird scene where she switched up with the other girl , like waiting at the curb waiting to be subbed on that was lowkey goofy lmao

sotonye ogan

God damn, okay to summarize once again (Did this for the last time I said Rava was a shitty ex-wife too) From what I remember (and kinda looked up the 3 year thing too to confirm [most probably] that he indeed was sober for 3 years before Logan's fake tabloids): I believe Kendall was sober for 3 years (No alcohol or hard drugs) and Logan wanted to break Kendall for trying to betray him with Stewy.. so he ran FAKE tabloids about Kendall being on drugs and Rava, who always seems to be negative about EVERYTHING related to Kendall, believes the fake tabloids and refuses to let Kendall see his kids. That is what pushes Kendall off the edge to ACTUALLY start doing drugs again after 3 years sober and pretty much caused Kendall to want to kill himself and even caused the death of a kid.. Like Rava is not an ex-wife she seems more like a stranger with a petty, long-standing grudge for still NO reason other than the cocaine on the ipad incident... which is ancient history at this point.. he was sober for 3 years AFTER the ipad incident.. so Rava has been unreasonable as shit, treating Kendall like a druggie and doubting everything Kendall says even though he was **3 YEARS SOBER** ... Hence why I call her a shitty ex-wife.

Drake Rage

“who says I never killed anyone” MY GOAT BYKE

Manny

Now I'm a Kendall fan even after the show finale, but why would you be mad at Rava for being passive aggressive with him??? He's the one that fucked up their relationship in the first place. Rava is one of the few characters in this show that has done no wrong. Like her only "flaw" is marrying Kendall

Name? Name!

This is one of my favorite shows and I watched most reactions of it. Your reaction is my favorite by far and you catch on plot lines and details pretty quickly. Don't let some of the dumb comment, especially like on the last episode get to you, a few wrong theories here and there are not a problem and completely normal.

Hagri

Me finding out the director for this show (Mark Mylod) was also the director of Game of Thrones AND Shameless? Why doesn't this dude have household name energy?

TheDroppedFry

Well, Rava is trying to maintain a good relationship with Kendall, and I don't know if you noticed this, but Kendall sucks

tifaxxx

😁😁F**K OFFFFF

HBK 713 🏄🏾‍♂️

Ngl his point still stands

DiscoDie111

28:29 If that isn't a fake ass smile, then idk what is. I called her a shitty ex-wife ages ago with fkn powdered dust to go off of about their relationship, and this conversation with her saying "you came here to what.. get a pat on the back?"..... Then when Kendall says "I did this for you guys" Rava says "Yeah, well..." Like yea none of her responses and interactions with Kendall sit well with me, she fake as fk to keep it "pleasant" but also passive aggressive as shit.

Drake Rage

I did see the edit but the fact you didn’t even wait that long to comment makes you look silly asf

GyX

oh boy u are in for a ride

stayhiidrated

Roshi is exactly right. Logan sensed Roman's lack of confidence and that turned him off immediately.

Co

“FUCK OFF” - Logan Roy

stayhiidrated

Logan telling Kendall “ You’re not a killer, you have to be a killer” put that battery back in Kendall’s back. Also crazy as hell saying that to the someone that’s notorious for trying to ‘kill’ you lol. Like Ken has tried to execute Logan on least 2 occasions and has mostly failed to complete the kill because of gun jams, not for lack of trying. Logan is brazen as hell to be essentially in ICU with this proxy war/share holders mess going, telling the guy responsible for putting him in the ICU that he’s a punk bitch, then giving him a live grenade to do a sacrificial controlled explosion with and being shock that Ken just threw it back in his lap. “You ain’t got that dawg in you” his bites made your jugular jiggly, stop playing in his face while you’re bleeding out 😭😭.

Raymond Burton

i gotta say the highlight of this whole show for me is hearing logan scream cuss words when hes mad shit has me crying every time

dawn

none of them do

iMovie stars

Season 3 Shiv is her at her finest. Good Lord Sarah Snook.

Carlos

it’s wild right? it’s like learning a language

Ron H

Roman was too wishy washy during the call with Logan. He should have said it was him and let that be the end of it but he came off as unsure and Logan would def see that as weak; Which is why he said Roman was out

PetersThimble

Its all can be the case at one time. Logan does care for the kids but only to the extent that he can control and manipulate them. He doesn’t love them above himself and what he built. Point is, these shows with these types of characters go through a lot of episodes and incidents to tell you who the characters are. At this point, it’s been clear that Logan doesn’t do much of anything simply out of care. Thats not who he is. His instincts are manipulation first. It shows up in how terribly adjusted the kids are as people.

Mack

Yeah, someone in Tom who does love his wife and of course the status, lifestyle and proximity to power it affords him and is willing to be a sycophantic lap dog when necessary because he doesn’t come from money and power in the way his wife did. And then Shiv who in some ways loves Tom but doesn’t actually know *HOW* to love anyone because she has seemingly never seen or felt it from anyone before. I mean, her father is a monster and her mother is cold, distant and self admittedly “not fit to be a mother.” Couple that with having to keep everyone at an arms length due to her status and the fake loyalty that comes with it and… yeah

Aaron Posey

Ok I'm usually on Rava's side but that razor lie was so bad 😂 Look at her apartment, she is not nickle and diming her disposable razor choice. The thing with the wine was fucked up though

John Cedar

Nigga did you not see the edit?

Aaron Posey

Kendall’s biggest weakness is coincidentally when he’s feeling himself because he becomes so manic and gets ahead of himself which ends up causing him to metaphorically trip himself up. Also, the reason Logan said no with Roman after the call is exactly what Roshi said and that’s Roman’s lack of confidence in himself when he was talking to Logan. Logan above all respects those that have the balls to act which is why even though he’s pissed at Kendall, he still respects the fact that Kendall had the balls to try to kill him. Logan believes Roman has the potential but that doesn’t mean shit if Roman doesn’t believe in himself

Nick Vaughn

They really have to do a lot to make me like shiv, she’s such a daddy’s girl that I need her to just boss up and stop fucking around

DJ Muldrow

Yeah, I definitely agree with this. Logan seemed open to considering Roman at the start of their conversation when Roman boldly said, "I think it should be me". He gave Roman an opportunity to give his pitch, and as Roman kept talking and not getting whatever affirmation he was seeking all of his self-doubt crept in to the conversation and he came across as pathetic to Logan, which took him out of contention for the job.

DTGstl314

42:53 — This is how Logan tests his children. It’s part of the “game” he plays. If, when Roman made the call, he was more of a killer and said that he wanted the job, without doing any of the backpedaling that he did in the call, I feel like Logan would’ve let him have it, or at least would’ve thought he’d be a strong candidate. But because Roman was timid, Logan was like “na, he’s not ready.” Just like at the very beginning of the series, when Kendall screwed up that deal—before the screw up, I believe Logan wanted Ken to be ceo, but after the screw up and how he chose to handle it, Logan was like “alright, nevermind.” And last season with Shiv, when Logan thought maybe she could do it, because Shiv didn’t deliver when it mattered, or didn’t show up when it mattered, Logan was like “alright, it’s not Shiv, not yet anyway.” Like Logan told Kendall, you have to be a killer. He doesn’t think any of his children are killers so he continues on as the leader, until he feels like testing his kids again, expecting to not be surprised or persuaded otherwise. That’s what I think, anyway.

Clinton the Bingethinker

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

DTGstl314

Kendall's only got 2 modes. He's either manic or he's depressed, he can't be anywhere in between.

V. R.

It's... so funny rewatching this show for the first time and now I'm just clearly seeing how all of these characters just... consistently show their asses on who they are as people. LMAO.

Cheeky Charm

Shiv and Tom's relationship is one of the things I like the most about this show. It's so complex.

Briana J

What I wanna know why you didn’t watch the full reaction before commenting that

GyX

Regardless if it’s he’s ego or if he high on crack bro actually trinna run shit nd not b Hes pops little lap dog I honestly respect it 🤷🏼‍♂️let’s just see how he holds he’s own

Michael Kaiser

Nah, this is manic, overly confident Kendall.

Aaron Posey

Sheera really doesn’t get Logan and I love it. 😭 It’s funny because she’s so earnest but that isn’t how Logan operates at all. What Roman did on the phone played as weak to Logan. He fucked himself by being so wishy washy and flimsy in his desire to be CEO. There was no conviction there. He was still seeking daddy’s approval and actually cared how everyone else felt about what HE wanted. He should have said it’s me and that’s it. No “If you don’t think I’m ready here’s an alternative.” No “I hope I’m not overstepping.” None of that is shit Logan has ever fathomed saying or doing. He’s a brute who does as he wants.

Aaron Posey

Kendal: UNLOCKED!

Delinda Arts

They really do The people commenting be acting like they didn’t have theories that were off base and that they were always bang on the money Like you said for a lot of the character dynamics and emotions shit is up in the air and open for interpretation

GyX

Michael Kaiser

i wanna say that fans of this show tend to act as if only one interpretation can be valid at a time. and that’s not true. for plot points, yes things are pretty set (logan not knowing kendall would snitch). but for character mental states, exact motivations, emotions, a lot of it is up to interpretation. for ex: does shiv actually care about tom? does logan actually care about his kids? imo there’s no singular right answer. watching this show shouldn’t feel like taking a test and i worry the comments make it seem that way sometimes😭

janelle

Aaron Posey

I think Ken didn't decide to turn on Logan until after he got on the plane with Greg. They were on that plane for probably 9-10 hours (Mediterranean -> NYC is about a 10 hour flight on a private jet), and I think the wheels started turning in his head on his way home and something inside him said, "Fuck this, I'm not taking the fall for my dad." But I don't think he had any plan whatsoever beyond what he said at the press conference. Like, he just went out and blurted out a few sentences and has absolutely no idea what he's supposed to be doing now. He's acting like he's coked out of his mind (which he probably is).

DTGstl314

Shiv has no loyalty. The second she can't get what she wants she burns it all down. Even though she shouldn't even be in the talk for the company. Shes basically Conner but driven she likes the name and power she just doesn't care about the company.

CentipedeKid

And probably many other things as well. Do you want to build a snowman?

DTGstl314

I get it, you're disciplined i respect it.

Jamaal Ellison

when Ken popped out the bathroom he looked manic af

Disregarding your pork chops it's my decision

Danger Tomato

What you’re seeing is a egomaniac Kendall. Him interrupting the marketing firm is a taste of it and no they were not seeing eye to eye on the “five points”.

Seany Park

My pork chops were cooked and ready.

Jamaal Ellison

This Kendall is high on life.

Jamaal Ellison

You're about to find quick that there's nothing more entertaining and frustrating than a Kendall that's feeling himself.

Jamaal Ellison

Shout out to Ken's secretary/assistant. She's not Gerri tier but she was pretty visible this episode. I imagine she could have just sided with the company but she got in the car when their head of media pr or whatever left it.

Tuny kun

Guav

this isn’t no season 1 kendall… this is absolute insanity 😭

anna

Man watching 2x10 when it was first airing was such a high as a member of team Ken. And then he can’t maintain the aura for a single episode

del

Logan is proud when he thinks Ken is finally being aggressive, decisive, and ruthless. And he’s immediately pissed and disappointed when he realizes Ken is trying to cover himself by pretending to be a white knight. If you want to do some good in the world be a nurse.

We're so back

Kylian Chambers

It's fascinating that they can't understand that Logan is not some kind of anime villain with a masterplan who is 7 steps ahead.

This early upload is interfering with my late roshi upload diet, from now on I need succession uploads at 11pm I speak for the succession empire.

Danger Tomato

Yehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Hasnain Khan

I've only watched like 10 minutes so far but, just so you guys know, Logan did not want Kendall to do that, he fully intended on sending him to jail, but the moment he did that, a part of Logan was proud of his son for being the killer he thought him not to be, hence the smile, but that is only a fleeting emotion appearing from Logan twisted sense of fatherhood. The reality is that his son has now betrayed him, and he is the enemy. Logan himself is always super conflicted between wanting his children to be subservient but also not giving them the respect they deserve because of their subservience.

Vyzarde

You're freaking early?!
