Yes, also when when the staff have prepared the meal and Nan goes to the kitchen once it's done and carries it into the dinning room and gets a round of applause when she literally did nothing and is only receiving praise for other people's hard work.

@Al2023- LMFAOOOOOOOOO BROO. this comment on the rich people suck show??????

@Al2023- Nope. For a dinner like that and if it was the Roys, there’s no way you’d see Logan come in with the food and with people clapping and cheering for him because the Roys don’t pretend to be anything like the Pierce’s where they’re this morally liberal family. The scene where she brings in the food you could probably look past it but as the original commenter says, when you look at it with the context of Nan asking the staff to have a drink knowing that realistically she can’t because she’s working exposes her and what type of white liberal, doing things for show person she is. The pretence of having this relationship with her staff that she clearly doesn’t have and you can see it in the faces of all the staff when they do all the work and she takes it in for a round of applause. We also see this white liberalism is one of the Pierce’s who’s dong a phd in African studies, he’s a billionaire, doing all this PhDs to be pretentious when realistically he could probably positively impact the people he’s studying about. He’s doing a PhD to to feel good as though he’s doing something when he actually has the abilities to actually do something. That’s who the Pierce’s are, they’re pretentious and self aggrandising and Nan Pierce giving her family credit for taking down the Berlin Wall is also another reflection of that. Also that’s a terrible comparisons because actors get their awards for acting, not for writing. Actors don’t pretend they wrote the scripts and the people who award actors also award the directors, writers etc for their contribution. Actors also usually thank the people that made it possible for them to do what they do, Nan Pierce relished in the praise for herself.

The best worst take on changing a subject xD

I agree and it’s been evident since the first episode. Logan tells them to be independent but can’t stand them not being under his thumb. He demands complete control over everyone in his life. Generational trauma is ugly

Yeah, he specifically uses Shiv to get her away from Gil. He neuters Gil by removing a savvy political advisor from his team & then kneecaps Shiv when the time is right but does so in a way to keep her *hoping* she can take over one day

Doesn't he call him my liege

Literally just rich ppl having a convo over dinner and things have never been more tense and awkward. We really had it good with Succession.

She already won an Emmy a decade ago as President of the USA in 24.

preach!

Nothing wrong with admiring how beautiful these two are, their reads on the characters in this series is on point too I’m excited for them to get to the latter seasons they’re gonna lose their minds.

Having seen the entire show, I'm half convinced Shiv has been the antagonist the entire time. I have six sisters and I'm happy none are anywhere near as bad as Shioban

@@RobertMorgan Feel like they're all protagonists and antagonists depending on who you root for... but I think there's a central antagonist and central protagonist throughout.

Whenever any of the kids (even Connor) get a whiff of power they become caligula - they all have the power to be a villain because that's how logan has imprinted hinself on them.

Seeing this episode just made me dislike shiv more lol

@@chops_chops yeah, her literally not undestanding, that ATN being a Fox News of that universe is what made their fortune and keeps them relevant. She just wants to have an another lefty brand, not understanding that demographics vary, and they have their own niche, which also gives them political influence. It is funny how Roman has actually the best business takes often, but is too messed up and weak to follow them, and anyone can sway him. Shiv? She thinks that is better than anyone else, while being the exact same hypocrite, and as Rhea said, she thinks that she is smarter than she actually is. Not a serious person, as Marcia summed up them. She also get a great reality check (probably was to dumb to understand it) in season 1, when the news producer said to her that the only reason she is allowed to be here and try to push her influence is because her name matches the one on the building. They all are at most medicore in what they do, and if you look closely during the whole series they only harm the company and lower its value.

my dad

So you can hear them. These videos are for people who already have seen the show and want to see the reaction. If you just wanna watch the show then you can just go to HBO max

@@Diegesisthat’s not what I’m saying. I’m here for the commentary. I’ve seen the earlier seasons like 3 times. I’m a huge succession fan but there are moments when y’all are talking but it’s silent. I can see your lips moving clearly commenting on something but there is no sound. I can only hear the show. It’s mute so I’m saying I’m missing out on your commentary bc something is going on with the audio. It’s happened the last few videos. I was trying to let y’all know bc I enjoy your videos

@@Diegesis They talking about when we can't hear YOU guys lol

@@yumirousesometimes there is dialogue in the show that is more important to flow of the reaction so we are muted because it’s a line that’s more important than what we are saying! Or we just are talking a lil too much over a scene lol 😂 that’s all on Pateron the whole reaction is there unmuted!

Yes maple is right. Sorry I misunderstood. Yes, when the girls are talking and you don't hear then it's for two reasons: 1) talking over important show dialogue 2) talking about something unrelated to the show.

Yeah, there will be a sad scene in the near future where he will say: “On our wedding night? Bang! Shanghaied into a, into a … open borders, free-fuck trade deal.” He really loved her, and she just did not care for a long, long time. Sure, Tom is also a bad person, but definetly the best, nexst to the current Greg of the lot.

She's pathetic as a partner
