This episode was like an hour long anxiety attack

The fact that it was so early on and so unexpected, because that's how death is. Sudden and shocking, and they nailed that atmosphere this episode.

Whenever there's an HBO episode with "wedding" in the title we just have to prepare ourselves to have the trajectory of our lives changed. This was masterful. Truly.

This was an episode for all kids who lost a parent unexpectedly. It was exactly like that.

Do not mess with Gerri is what I learned during the episode.

6 mins in: Logan what scheme are you cooking? 12 mins in: This is low even for Logan 20 mins in: Oh….

NGL the support all the siblings were giving each other made me tear up more than Logan actually dying.

I thought Tom was pranking the adult kids, but as the episode progressed, I said OMG! It’s real! Shocked. . .

Love how they titled this episode. The wedding was the smallest event in this entire episode. Stunning episode, just WOW!

As someone with several brothers and sisters who lost my father this episode really nails that mood and the emotional rollercoaster

Brian Cox speaking his mind is hilarious. Makes the writers room sound a lot less planned out than they podcast usually sets them up to seem

Matthew Macfadyen was SO good in this episode, when he's on the phone you can hear Tom trying to hold it together and slightly failing. Just so subtle and brilliant. And the kids! Each one's reaction was so different and true to character and heavy. I loved it.

Shiv's anxious reaction when she was on the phone while Logan was receiving CPR was exactly how I reacted when I was watching the doctors doing CPR on my mom when she was dying. It felt like the earth was about to implode under me and I couldn't do anything while also being in denial. It felt like I was watching myself and reliving that dreaded time again.

When Shiv was told Logan was gone and she said, Um, No! I can’t have that; I was utterly gutted. All performances in this episode were amazingly done and eye-opening to the point that each character center was rocked.

My father died overseas during the peak of COVID and my siblings and I all had to be on the phone remotely from different places on a call where we realized he was going to die and we had to mourn on a group call and this episode completely brought me back to that kind of surteal, horrible memory. Well done to Jesse, Mark and the entire team.

Brilliant brilliant. Brian Cox understands it all. Terrific interview.

This episode GUTTED me. When my father passed, I found out via the telephone. And at first I was told the exact same thing as Tom said initially to Roman "your father is sick". It's been almost 30 years since that day, and this episode took me right back to that moment.

I think many of us felt like Roman , looking for hope. I can say from my personal experience ( my Dad’s passing) they captured so many real -life elements. Especially how things change so suddenly and the stunning effect it gives you…the regrets on that final interaction, the disbelief, it’s horrendous and they captured it as only good artists can

I thought there were so many great scenes, but one of the most underrated is Karolina's acting on the plane, her composure, her iciness even. There is also the moment when Logan boards the plane and Karolina is informed that Gerri is fired. She keeps her pokerface as she discusses with Logan, but her expression instantly changes once his back is turned, because she knows everyone in his entourage is disposable.

Amazing acting by all cast but this was Kieran Culkin's Emmy moment

This episode shows what TV can be. I’ve been waiting years for something like this.

I can't thank the whole team of people on the show for this episode enough. This was incredibly cathartic for me to watch. I haven't been able to deal with my mother's passing last year, but as I was watching this episode, months worth of repressed emotions and tears came pouring out. Thank you for portraying an unexpected death in such a real way.

As someone who has distanced herself emotionally from a narc parent but still loves him very much, this episode hit me SO hard. It felt like my own dad died. And I have all these mixed feelings that parallel with Roman - denial of his death, denial of who he really was (“you were good”, “you were a good dad), feelings of anger (Kendall’s lack of forgiveness), all their sadness. It just hurt. It’s crazy how - losing even a toxic parent can hit so deep. You can love someone AND dislike who they are.

I seriously thought he was faking for at least twenty minutes to get a reaction from the siblings. I’m still in shock. I wanted to give Shiv a big hug. Lord knows that messy, selfish girlie needs one from someone.

People ask what’s the appeal of a show about 3 nepo babies and I respond with this (among other things of course): you get a chance to explore some of the most human emotions you will ever witness from a TV show. This episode captured grief in a way that I haven’t seen before and seeing Logan’s lifeless body in the background shook me. Beautifully crafted episode & series.

Tom was money in the his scene. He's such a sniveling worm normally but he got just the right balance of compassion and at times, he would turn right back into worm mode.

I was on edge throughout this ep. Another perfect episode. This season is incredible!!!

I went through all of the stages of grief in this one episode! Denial, I kept laughing because I thought he was playing a sick prank on the kids! Anger, because I couldn’t see Logan, and i needed proof that he was dying! Bargaining, just who is in control? It has to be Shiv! No, Kendall, and then the sadness and depression kicked in, and I’m crying…..then I had no choice but to reach acceptance! What a great show!!!!!

They knocked this episode out of the park! Award winning for everyone involved!

This episode will be shown in film schools for years & years to come - to show how actors convey real life emotions. The cast did a brilliant job.

Long Live the King. What an amazing episode! HBO and the wedding episodes are killing me

I think we all went though the stages of grief during this episode

This episode broke me. It was as real as real life. And the change in tempo from quirky wedding, to a crashing stop, the music stopped, time stopped. Everyone just staring at each other, like what do we do?

It was extra tragic because in the last two episodes, it felt like Logan was actually humanizing himself a bit. You could tell he was missing his kids and feeling a bit unfulfilled with things. And that scene at the karaoke club was the most genuine and real his character has ever felt I think. Yet still always felt very Logan. The writing and acting in the show is just top notch. And as others mentioned, the way they handled the death and reactions felt so realistic.

The moment I saw Shiv in Black to a SUMMER Wedding, I was like okay here we go

What an episode. Take a bow Brian Cox. And yes, I went through something similar when I lost my mom. Then I got stuck at LAX overnight while just trying to get back to her as she remained on life support, more for my benefit really. I could sit there and say good bye to her before they removed her from life support.

I cried. The acting was amazing!

Exquisite episode that perfectly captured the devastating and visceral reality of grief and panic. We ALL need chest compressions after seeing it! Bravo Jesse Armstrong.

When I turned on the TV to watch the episode, I was expecting the most normal plot possible, but then I ended up just as shocked as Kerry.

This episode perfectly captured the day of loss - all of your plans and conflicts and minor irritations are just over in a second of time. This is exactly how it happens. Absolute perfection.

Everybody that lost someone knows the brilliance of this episode

An Hour of juxtaposition, tragedy and a complete masterpiece in the nature of grief submerged in pure shock.

A brilliant episode in every single way. The writing, the callbacks to the things done and said before, how grief is captured.. everyone's acting was phenomenal. The direction, editing, blocking. Quite literally everything was amazing. The standout, unsurprisingly, was again Jeremy Strong. The way his voice changes and how he holds himself, how he takes charge, trying to hold himself and his siblings together. Him standing aloof on the deck and at the end. Him on call with Frank. Him saying I love you but I can't forgive you and its okay. Him saying shivvy, honey. The silent tears and the snot!!! The way the camera follows him.. and the ending shot; just him in his pain. And many more details that will only be visible on rewatches. The whole episode a marvel through and through, can't wait to see how this season continues to gut us.

Brilliant episode. Logan Roy was a bigger than life man…he died off screen in a way, (they showed him really quick while getting shock treatment to revive him) Death comes for everyone, no matter who you are.

Never thought my eyes could water for any of these characters. SO GOOD

The worst part about this episode is we won't get anymore of Brian Cox 😢

They're right. I felt everything the characters felt this episode. Maybe one of the best episodes of TV I have ever seen.

Brilliant insight from Brian Cox, amazing episode and an amazing character. Truly one of the best shows ever made.

cried...devastating ep...superb acting...one of the best eps of tv

I'm supposed to go to bed and I'm just shook. Speechless 🤯🤯🤯

This hit so close to home. Anyone who has experienced a loss from a far can relate to this episode. The captured the shock, confusion and denial perfectly. Killing Logan off screen was such a brilliant choice. Keeping the audience on the same page as the characters was painful.

An honest to God breathtaking masterpiece!

Brilliant episode. TV that draws you in as a participant, rather than keep you as an observer, is incredibly difficult to do. Everyone on the team from actors to crew brought it all together beautifully. Well done.

Arguably their BEST episode of the entire series! And Logan is barley in it! This show is on another level. Just hand out all the Emmys for the show and actors already!

I liked so much how they did this. If you have had anyone just die. Its exactly like this. Pure shock!!

Brian Cox sounds intimidating AF in this interview lol just as frightening as Logan

Brilliant idea just having it happen. Real death never happens when you expect it. People rarely give final speeches or have any clue it's coming. It just happens, and people try to react.

The scene with the kids on the phone with their dying father was the strongest scene in Succession imho.

praying that kerry is not pregnant with logan’s child and he does not leave his empire to them

Some of the most BRILLIANT TV I've ever watched (and I've watched a lot of TV). This was like watching TV, a movie, and a play all wrapped up in one. BRAVO to all!

The absurdity of life was illustrated so well when the boat takes off. I literally talked out loud to the screen.

I thought it was a joke, then we saw his face while he was on the floor - wow! This is only episode 3, I can't imagine what else they have in store for us.

this episode was an absolute writing masterpiece

The acting could not have been any better! Just awesome!!

I really thought he was faking for like, 30mins.

I’m still feeling numb

I love how Brian is just Logan

I kept waiting for him to come back to life!!! Until the very end I believed there was some hope still

I truly thought this was a fake out for at least half the episode. Until I saw the body after they stopped CPR lying there on the floor as a blur, I just kept denying it was over. I think it was a brilliant move on the writers part to allow the audience to see how this event will change Waystar and its employees. I have to say there were very subtle things that I noticed too. Connor has always been a little bit left out and even in this big family moment, they didn't even give him a thought. Not once did those siblings think, we should get Connor until after they saw him. I wondered how long it would be before he would be notified. I also noticed the dynamic has not shifted completely between Jerri and Roman. He has definite mother issues and Jerri was a surrogate to those issues. The vulnerability he showed when he said he was sad when it was just the two of them, and she just walked out of the room hit home too. He needed that mother figure. Someone to hug him. I have noticed a maturity in Roman this season and I hope it continues. He is my favorite character by far.

This episode really triggers people who went through this in real life, the unexpected death and reaction is just raw.

I genuinely thought Logan was faking it/testing them at first. I think it was because we didn't see his body for quite some time. Either that or I was in denial about him dying or just expecting it based on all of the shocking things he's done in past seasons.

HBO has a wedding-gone-wrong kink

Okay the scene that got me the most was the shot of the chauffeur. Sorry he looked so lost it was so sad

takes balls to eliminate the lead but the fallout IS where the story lies.

I think what also needs to be praised, is the editing of this episode. For the most part they really got the audience think if this was real or some sort of manipulation. Before they showed the body.

The show is brilliant thanks to incredible writers and incredible actors. Last night's episode? Off the charts incredible!

The "Logan is not dead" conspiracy theory Brian thought of is incredible lol

they should as well cancel the next Emmys, right? Just give everything to this show already.

Great team Michael and Jesse nailed it! The storytelling was so intense! It felt as if someone I knew died without warning. It was jarring just like it happens in real life. And Mylod captured it so well. The way he shot this it felt like it was happening in real time. Even just the little cut -away to the Logan’s driver sadly waiting by the plane, realizing the old man was gone. Like a dog waiting by the door for its owner to walk in. But the owner just passed away.

Brian Cox is the best forever❤ Logan will be missed. I am still in shock 😭😭😭

Roman went inside the airplane to delete the voicemail from Logan's phone

What a masterpiece this was! Stunning television.

Brian Cox legitimately thinks Logan is a victim of his children. I know it’s common to empathize with your character, but I feel like that’s pretty delusional. Love Brian tho

Logan is such a strong character that I could not believe he was really dead, CONGRADULATIONS.

Great actor, Great Character.... Brian Cox you'll be missed.

I lost my mother in Corona era, I couldn't come back to my country and I didn't get the chance to talk to her before she goes . . I go through my stages of grief like each siblings.. but I feel like this episode is such cathartic release for me.

“The thoughts of everyone at Heart of Midlothian Football Club and our supporters are with the Roy family upon hearing of the passing of club owner Logan Roy (1938-2023). Mr. Roy was a true Scotsman and a titan of industry at Waystar | ROYCO. Having achieved so much in his business life, he was a force for good at Hearts. Our club will endeavour to carry Mr. Roy’s legacy into our remaining matches.”

Y'ALL ARE SO SICK FOR THIS EPISODE thank you we love you ♥

I was going through all the feels along with them; literally had tears in my eyes.

I actually felt empathy for the kids ... especially Conner

This is not my original thought, but clearly, someone in the writers room had somewhat of a similar experience to this. When you lose a parent, it's very unlikely that you go to the hospital and they give you one last heartfelt speech when they know it's the end, it just kinda happens out of the blue. Brilliant and brutal storytelling

Well done! Well done! wow.. 🤯... it's been a LONG time since a series has really taken me on a journey and truly reflected life as we know it. Writers, producers, actors... 🙇‍♀!

This was a very enjoyable podcast after such a defining episode!! Kudos to Host Kara Swisher for being a very engaging host.

I think this is the best episode on succession ever

Was I the only one who thought that Logan would come back to life before the end of the episode? Lol

logan always had a choice between family and business. his biggest weakness is that he would always try to pick both. both of which suffered because of it. the one episode he chooses business over his son’s wedding is when he dies. he doesn’t have a triumphant and cathartic death like most tv main characters, he goes out off screen. away from his family, instead with his business associates. the audience is just as taken aback by this as the children, such a bold move. it honestly had me feeling like this was bad writing but after some recollection i realize how genius this really is.

Brian Cox is really like his character, wow

NEVER has the rug been pulled out from under them so quickly and so unexpectedly. It was an emotional earthquake ! They didn't know how to deal with this. Like the JOKER ONCE SAID, "WHO AM I WITHOUT BATMAN" ? Here's your "EMMY WINNING EPISODE" !

This episode helped me mend broken fences with my own father. The honest window into humanity, even that of a complicated man such as Logan Roy, gave me insight into my own existence in a way i didn't think possible. Thanks so much for making one of the most meaningful hours of television ever created.
