AGREE 100%, he buried Kendall in that moment

“Do you know what they’re doing up in the suite? They’re picking the next president.”

@@xavierjamito4212 yup this was more devastating than the getting fucked more than Logan dialogue. Just meant the inconsequential nature of Ken's life while the rest of the "family" (Logan) were busy shaping the future of the country.

because he's not there when nan pierce rofldumbed him

I’ve always found Tom dangerous but that was the first first time I was *scared* by him.

They don't appreciate Connor.

I felt Conner’s lashing out about about being the first son was a projection of feeling left behind and ignored by their dad and by his siblings, who values them more than they value him, and the fact that Roman could only remember Connor as a vaguely paternal figure from his childhood over their dad solidifies that.

@@Kayla-ep5gm Very well put. Totally agree.

Connor isn’t a bad guy. He’s just a mediocre dude who’s been surrounded by evil masterminds his entire life.

Precisely, he was apparently supposed to read for Greg, but they decided that Roman would be a better fit.

I agree. Apparently Strong intially came in wanting to play Roman, but didn't get the role and was offered Kendall. Couldn'tve seen these roles played by others.

all kieran culkin has to do is just cosplay someone who doesn't wear bracelets

@@paupuent this is one of the funniest things I've ever read and 10000% true

@@trinaq I think it’s better to say he was the one that decided that. In an interview, he said that when he wanted to try for Roman, casting said that they weren’t doing that yet but he just sent his tapes in and yeah he got the role

the dawning look of absolute betrayal and rage. amazing.

she's so great I hate Shiv so much and sarah is so good at motivating that out of me

she kills it every time. I love her

Aaand she surpassed her season 3 acting

Oh same. I've watched it over and over focusing on a different character every time. Each one of their acting is unbelievably good in that scene. It's almost intoxicating, I swear

I swear the whole shoulder touch that all three siblings got on the finale was like the touch of death. They all got it right after some massive L

it literally gave me chills. sarah snook can say so much with only her eyes.

Agreed. She was stunned, wounded and dumbfounded. And she knew - SHE DESERVED IT. Deep down, she knew. She over played her hand, underestimated Tom, consistently embarrassed and undervalued him. And was too ashamed to inform her brothers of what just really happened. And the way Tom floated in, as if he had done nothing.... EXCELLENT ACTING

@@elegantbird8240 did she know it was Tom who leaked the plot ?

ur so right

Such a Greg line, if it is to be said

@@dirtymike3329 If that’s deemed to be true then so it is

God those two have an amazing dynamic (It’s difficult to say the best because there are so many fucking brilliant ones)

when Greg said "What am I going to do with a soul anyway" the grin that I wore on my face...

nero & Sporus🤣🤣🤣🤣

I feel Tom is finally on the dark side

@@MaRyaYTOfficial You mean Greg? lol

@@greenbeans8204 yea probably

Roman has BPD confirmed

Exactly! The failures of the children are all due to Logan's own parenting. He manipulates, controls and tears them down to the point they will always doubt themselves as long as he continues to have any power over them. I genuinely feel they would each be better at both business and life in general if they could get out from under his influence.

Yup. All throughout the show it's been made pretty clear that the siblings aren't really the problem in terms of their decision-making; Logan is. Logan is constantly (either intentionally or not) getting the kids into difficult situations with regards to the business and then ridiculing them for even attempting to find solutions to the problems Logan's got them into. Kendall pretty much saves the company from the debt Logan got them into by making the deal with Stewy at the start of S1 but Logan instantly tears down the decision when he learns about it and calls him an idiot; in the shareholder ep, Shiv makes a genuinely smart decision when Logan is incapacitated but he still lays into her and tells her that he would have thought of something better; even in the finale when Roman offers him love (which anyone truly intelligent would translate to loyalty, and which is an important thing that Logan lacks in his business decisions since he clearly has a habit of burning bridges that leave him increasingly vulnerable) in exchange for not just hanging them all out to dry, Logan rips him apart and potentially completely destroys his relationship with the one child who still even remotely trusted him. Logan doesn't truly want anyone succeeding him or feeling like they're capable of succeeding him because as far as he's concerned, the moment any of them truly feel capable of taking over is the moment he gets a knife in the back - hell, Kendall's already proved that multiple times. He's basically trained the Golden Trio to desire the position of his successor but to also inherently feel unworthy of it without realising that eventually, they're going to feel so unworthy of the position that they will simply no longer want it (at least not on his terms) - as of the end of S3, Kendall at least appears to have reached that line of no longer wanting it, Shiv's on her way there, and now Roman's on that journey as well. The S3 finale showed how much more effective the siblings are when they come together and are actually allowed to feel confident about their decisions - they're even able to decide very quickly on a potential power structure between the three of them following the planned takedown of Logan without any arguing at all - and the most heartbreaking thing is that the plan legitimately could have worked if only Shiv hadn't phoned Tom. And the great irony of Tom's "win" at the end of S3 is that he is still pretty much Logan's last option to keep things in the family (at least until Greg comes crawling up the ranks).

Agreed!

@@overlydramaticpanda this was such a wonderful comment to read. Thank you.

That episode was hilarious 😭😭

He earned Logan's respect with everything he's done.

the emmy’s are SECURED

Bromance, you mean.

@@elegantbird8240 right, it’s making my stomach turn that so many are reading their close friendships as romantic. The Nero and Sporus story wasn’t meant to be literal. Tom isn’t literally going to kill shiv, castrate Greg and marry him 🤣 It was foreshadowing. Now a days, some people want everyone to be gender fluid, lol.

@@kimberlyrose984 seriously do people not understand bromance lmao. If they actually went into a relationship I would stop watching no matter how good it is…

@@Brbrnskhgf5666 They have a relationship and some people identify as Bromance, and some people as Romance, and I don't know why you would have such a big problem with it. Their relationship definitely does have a psycho-sexual nature to it since it is so intertwined with affection and holding power over one another. And Sporus scene proves that dynamic, as Sporus and Nero do not have a lot of stories to pull from aside from their marriage. I read that as Tom's loyalty lying closer to Greg than to Shiv. But it is not far off to call it more than friendship due to the nature of the Sporus & Nero story. Also what if they DID write Tom's need/want to control of Greg as a twisted infatuation. The writers of the show are great at what they are doing, so no matter how they portray it it is going to be great. No need to be homophobic about it. All the relationships of the show have great nuance to them no matter what their title is.

@@kimberlyrose984 you're talking like logan lmao what the actual fuck are you on about?

Totally, they may try to play him off as a bumbling idiot, but Connor truly cares for his siblings, and seems to be more of a father figure than Logan. With the rest of his siblings having more focus each season, I hope that Season 4 will be Connor's chance to shine, and to grow as a character!

Connor will 100% be CEO - I can see it now

I laughed at him on many occasions but he has a pretty tragic story. He was literally a father figure to his step siblings, when his own father wasn’t even particularly close to him, even going 3 years without seeing him at one point. And yeah he’s a pretty entitled and lame but he’s been shit on so much. The scene when they laughed at him for shitting his pants on a trip he took Roman on was sad knowing he was basically taking the role of their dad. I’m glad he stood up for himself in the final 4-sibling conversation Edit: u can also see how badly he wants someone to love him like at that random sex-drug party where he tells random chicks that he loves them and ofc getting his escort to date him with the prospect of financial and professional support (while she’s still kind of an escort)

Connor may be the most delusional of them all.

Why is this comment on two succession videos under different accounts

I literally remember how I finished watching the finale and actually screamed “IS THAT IT???” I couldn’t believe it was actually an hour long. Everything happened so fast. That was insane

Omgggg please react to succession s3 on your channel king 🙏🏾

actually it was one episode short, the others had 10

Watch him in Pride and Prejudice as Mr Darcy, it's so jarring lol

@@ariyatabassumabdullah1143 i literally cannot stop picturing him as Mr. Darcy since I love him on that role lmao

It's amazing. The fact that the first thing I ever saw him in was Pride and Prejudice and yet still think an American accent suits him better says it all.

It’s like he figured out he was the pathetic comic relief of the first two seasons and realized he could play that to his advantage this season.

true, we like to think people like frank and gerri aren't complicit in the abuse but the thing is they watched the roy kids grow up. they stood by and witnessed the mental abuse and covered for him and mo. sure they may have been afraid to loose their jobs but it also shows that they didn't have the balls to get out when they saw something was wrong, or try to fix it.

@@beak6426 Did they even care to fix it? They're the ones who got to the top by sheer work and cunning. Unlike the children who are playing "toy soldiers", they're the one who got something to lose: their jobs and careers. They are the ones who go to the trenches, fight and win. They might not be the loudest, but alongside Logan, they are the real sharks of the room. They are truly dangerous, and the only thing they want is to keep winning.

All GOT really needed was the writing tbh. The seasons where the writing was still excellent are still some of the best seasons of TV ever made

@@LucRees no GOT is overrated, it has so many flaws.

GOT used to have that. Incredible writing plus the best cinematography, visuals, score, and characters on television....until Season 7.

One of the main directors on Succession was a director on GOT too!

@@goldenflower3182 he directed almost all of the beat episodes of Succession. Too bad his GOT episodes were only meh.

but it's kendall's word against logan i dont think he'll win that fight. no one will believe him

@@asianfries08 Yep I think the only way Ken would do that would be out of pure desperation and selective memory loss. He thought he had Logan at the end of season 2- season 3 has shown him that for Logan to be beat in that way, he would have to be witnessed committing a crime by a hundred people in broad daylight and it still probably wouldnt stick.

@@evesapple yup. the chances of him succeeding with this plan are laughably small. not to mention it’s boring and predictable… i think the writers would cook up something way more interesting

He has no evidence to prove this lol

He most certainly will not do that. It could come out, but I think Logan and Kendall will shut it down before it results in serious consequences (outside of maybe being CEO).

100%. They're basically the only ones that are qualified and capable of working in business. Ultimately Roman, Shiv & Kendall really are just "playing toy soldiers" and not that far from Connor when it comes to delusions of grandeur thinking they can take over when they crash every time they take the wheel and even seem to be at peace hanging out and letting everyone else do the heavy lifting. Roman's probably the only one that knows nepotism got him there from when he did the training program and said outright the only reason he stood out was because of his name

Agree. The old guards, the one who actually working lol.

Hmm, not so sure about that. Explain 'We hear for you.' 😅

@@evesapple the altitude + greg proximity induced stupidity

@@evesapple but see, that's all surface level stuff, you know? Tom might not be good at coming up with flashy tag lines, but his speech goes fine and apparently he's been doing well at his job. It's a nice concealment to show Tom struggling with cosmetic stuff in his typical bumbling fashion even if it's inconsequential, throws people off his actual competence

Ditto, Karsten's first video also introduced me to the show as well, and I can't thank him profusely!

aw thank you!!

not to mention the legitimate fear he made me feel in the last 10 minutes of ep9

No, but all the slanders on the possibile relationship between Tom and Greg are pure gold🤣

yes!!! Plus Tom and Shiv's failmarriage

I absolutely love the memes that come out of this show, they're the best

this happens on twitter as well, Kendall and Tom are literally napping rn i just put them to bed

Oh, there's also some gems in the toxic cesspool that is Twitter regarding the fandom names too. "Tommunists" is my fave fandom name so far

Who needs a soul anyways?

I think that'll be the crux of next season, and how that might somehow open the door for the Roy siblings to plot against Logan

It was incredible to watch in real time as Logan realizes this random Swedish man is the only person he’s met so far that is worthy to inherit Logan’s throne. It’s the only time we’ve ever seen him show respect to anyone in 3 seasons.

The sound track and the look on roman's face is a priceless comedic moment 😹.

Connor Roy was the eldest son from a very young age

Lol but they’re not gay. Idk so many people just expect two straight guys to kiss.

@@dirtymike3329 That's the irony of it, that they identify as "straight".. but their interactions and Tom's admission that he "would castrate Greg and marry him in a heartbeat" tells another story. I don't think Tom sees Greg through a sexual lens, I think Greg to Tom as @Just an Observation said is his work wife, when he hears a bad news he tells Greg, when he hears a good news he rushes to tell Greg, because Greg actually LISTENS to him, something no one in this family concern themselves with doing. I don't think they're gonna be together, Logan won't have that.. but the fangirl in me enjoys the homoeroticism like I enjoy it in every other fandom I'm in like (Drarry, Snarry, … etc.), which reminds me Where the Heck are the fanfictions of this show?? I found 11 and all of them are either about Kendell or Rom and Jerry..

@@eshraqahmad7782 it’s foreshadowing!!! For fucks sake! Tom isn’t actually going to kill Shiv, castrate Greg and enter into a romantic relationship with him. The “killing” was the betrayal. In the show, whenever Logan or stewy or Kendal or Roman talk about winning the refer to killing their opponents. Tom and Greg are really best friends. They’re bros. They share their troubles with one another. They confide in one another. Now they’re ride or die. They’ve built up trust and intimacy. The end of season 3 showed us, metaphorically, the story of Nero and Sporus through Tom and Greg. Tom betrays Shiv. All the trust, closeness and intimacy Tom had for Shiv was transferred to Greg, they’re partners in this betrayal or crime, literally. They covered up the cruise scandal together and now betrayed the siblings. They’re not sexually attracted to one another. I think we see what we want to see. If you’re a homosexual man watching the show, you want Tom and Greg to become romantic. It’s not gonna happen. All of a sudden these two straight dudes are gonna suddenly realize they actually like dick? I don’t think so. I know plenty of straight dude that tease each other with homoeroticism. Doesn’t actually mean they wanna fuck each other.

@@kimberlyrose984 Sure, *they are really good friends... I hate to disappoint you and say that I am a hetro, cis woman who just loves seeing a Bromance if we may call it that.. and if you have read through my comment you'd have seen me writing that I know that they are NOT going to be involved with each other, cause that is not what Jesse Armstrong would focus on.. I KNOW that the Nero story is metaphoric, it's just my fanfiction side would take that literally since I read in other fandoms and most of it is slash..

To amend this, I think all of these characters are complex; Tom caring for Logan when he was incapacitated may well have been motivated in part by genuine compassion! But Tom is not *consistently* a character who sticks up for the little guy or who cares for the weak throughout the show any more than any of the other characters. Kindness is not what nets a win in Succession.

@@ElectroSocketBlues who's that little guy he's stuck up for? If you mean Greg, he's only transferring Logan's treatment of him as his useful idiot. Hell, even Greg's grandfather has stuck up for him more than Tom has

Oh, he definitely didn't get to where he is on his own back, he dated, married and cucked his way to 3rd base, let's not pretend he scored a homerun. Logan loves useful idiots, debasement not so much
