Oct 18th 2021

Shiv knew her getting the spot was contingent on delivering the lawyee
Oct 18th 2021
2
She's gonna flip for sure. n/m
Oct 18th 2021

      That was basically revealed end of Episode 1.
Oct 20th 2021
6
I thought Kendall was sorta wylin and then I rewatched it
Oct 18th 2021
3
      Kendall joking “Who said I never killed anyone?”…
Oct 20th 2021
7
           Haha totally. That shit was laugh out loud funny.
Oct 20th 2021
8
                Greg with the “what character is that” was sneaky hilarious
Oct 20th 2021
9
                him shouting that literally made me gasp lol
Oct 20th 2021
10
Great call. Logan did say "killer."
Oct 19th 2021
5
Oh how i missed this horrible family...
Oct 20th 2021
11
Yeah i had no idea just how much i've missed this show
Oct 20th 2021
12
first episode flew by. made me want to start from S1 all over again.
Oct 20th 2021
13
      I'm gonna have to because i've forgotten so much
Oct 21st 2021
14
           yeah. I'm almost through S2 again
Oct 23rd 2021
18
what was your guy's take on Roman's call?
Oct 22nd 2021
15
Logan wanted him to want it ruthlessly imo
Oct 22nd 2021
16
He ain't a killer
Oct 22nd 2021
17
Shiv got Saddam as her dad's contact photo lol
Oct 24th 2021
19
this ep was the only ep where I had a visceral
Oct 25th 2021
20
Fuck him. Connor is a special embodiement of evil IMO
Nov 30th 2021
108
      He's the classic awful guy who's convinced he's a good guy.
Nov 30th 2021
112
second episode was just off
Oct 26th 2021
21
The bedroom scene seemed great to me.
Oct 26th 2021
22
Literally felt the same but ok
Oct 27th 2021
23
It was a bit off but the rewatch hit for me
Oct 28th 2021
26
Tom definitely gets it now
Oct 28th 2021
24
Nahhhh did you hear how he talked to her on the phone ?!
Oct 28th 2021
25
I just rewatched S1E1 and...
Oct 28th 2021
27
the donuts
Oct 28th 2021
28
Tom ? Or maybe Gerri
Oct 28th 2021
29
i think they came right after Roman got off the phone with Gerri
Oct 28th 2021
30
I think Tom sent them.
Oct 29th 2021
31
RE: the donuts
Oct 31st 2021
32
      He wanted Shiv to give a pubic display of affection at the airport
Nov 01st 2021
33
I didn't think Kendall would collapse so quickly
Nov 01st 2021
34
I mean, he's an addict who's exhibiting addict behavior
Nov 02nd 2021
35
      his cringe level is off the charts
Nov 02nd 2021
36
           Naomi sucks and is bad for Kendall
Nov 03rd 2021
37
           He killed someone and laughed about it in the first ep this season lol
Nov 04th 2021
40
                we've all rooted for/sided with characters who have done far worse
Nov 04th 2021
41
                     Yea there's gotta be something to that for sure.
Nov 04th 2021
42
                          yeah, but Logan also knows its mutually assured destruction
Nov 04th 2021
45
                               Oh great call.
Nov 04th 2021
46
This is probably the first time where Roman is...
Nov 03rd 2021
38
yeah, more not-a-killer energy from Roman
Nov 03rd 2021
39
Romulus is a weird situation
Nov 04th 2021
44
I think his unwillingness to go scorched earth actually shows the maturi...
Nov 04th 2021
47
      Yeah i agree
Nov 04th 2021
48
           Right exactly.
Nov 05th 2021
50
I see it much more as him cowering to Logan
Nov 30th 2021
109
      Correct.
Nov 30th 2021
113
Honestly? Right today Connor is the most sympatheic
Nov 04th 2021
43
      I'll give Connor credit. he's a piece of shit, but his siblings
Nov 08th 2021

You're HOVERING

Kendall about to let Logan die rather than ask for water for him
Nov 07th 2021
51
RE: Kendall about to let Logan die rather than ask for water for him
Nov 08th 2021
52
It was clear that Kendall was trying to be *like* Logan but...
Nov 08th 2021
53
They really nailed Adrien Brody's character / he really nailed it
Nov 08th 2021
54
yup
Nov 08th 2021
55
his turn was great
Nov 09th 2021
57
RE: his turn was great
Nov 10th 2021
60
      Same.
Nov 10th 2021
61
i def beieved he was the kinda asshole who'd make an old man
Nov 09th 2021
58
he made an immediate impact
Nov 09th 2021
59
Tom either gonna commit suicide or spill everything to the FBI
Nov 12th 2021
62
I think Greg is trying to play the game.
Nov 12th 2021
63
RE: Tom either gonna commit suicide or spill everything to the FBI
Nov 12th 2021
64
I think we're getting played a bit re: Greg
Nov 12th 2021
65
Yea totally agreed.
Nov 12th 2021
66
I agree. I'm of the "If it didn't happen on screen, then it didn't happe...
Nov 13th 2021
67
Well,we got Stannis'd. Oh well. We're suing Green Peace!
Nov 15th 2021
69
Yeah they wouldve showed him sign something if it happened
Nov 14th 2021

Shiv not wanting to have a baby with Tom = Kendall not buying the watch
Nov 16th 2021
70
      Shiv doesn't want a kid with Tom because she doesn't want to be locked d...
Nov 16th 2021
71
crazy just how incompetent everyone is
Nov 16th 2021
72
dunno why Greg's "He's so annoying!"
Nov 18th 2021
73
LOL cracked me up too and I think you nailed it.
Nov 18th 2021
74
      Lol now i'll have to watch that part again
Nov 20th 2021
75
Tom/Kendall
Nov 22nd 2021
76
bold(?) prediction: throws HIMSELF under the bus w/r/t Chappaquidick
Nov 22nd 2021
77
      I like this prediction
Nov 22nd 2021
80
      No doubt.
Nov 24th 2021
85
"Carrie, get Shiv a fucking medal" loooooooooooooool
Nov 22nd 2021
78
Shiv's going to join Team Kendall. It's only a matter of when
Nov 23rd 2021
84
      No question.
Nov 24th 2021
86
actually felt pretty deflated at the end of this ep
Nov 22nd 2021
79
same. that shit felt waaay too real
Nov 23rd 2021
82
AGREE.
Nov 24th 2021
87
      The conclusion of this NPR episode recap sums up my feelings lol.
Nov 24th 2021
89
      Lol i get that but i kinda love that they're getting into this
Nov 24th 2021
90
           Oh I hear you for sure. It was an excellent episode.
Nov 27th 2021
95
      umm...who is she???!! lol
Nov 24th 2021
91
      Hahaha gotcha. Agreed.
Nov 27th 2021
93
      another thing was the way Kendall spoke to Lisa
Nov 24th 2021
92
           Oh god no question. That was brutal to watch.
Nov 27th 2021
94
           Kendall's the type of dude who'll fistbump the valet...
Nov 28th 2021
96
                Haha totally.
Nov 30th 2021
114
Tom hit Kendal with the sh*t that made his soul burn slow...
Nov 22nd 2021
81
Roman looking more competent but so much for the whole human thing
Nov 23rd 2021
83
      All of this.
Nov 24th 2021
88
there's bigger people and things to unpack, but...Naomi is driving me nu...
Nov 28th 2021
97
I thought she was going to be really interesting after the first ep
Nov 30th 2021
107
      Totally agree with you guys.
Nov 30th 2021
115
           I thought this was a really good ep for her actually
Nov 30th 2021
125
                That's fair. I guess I didn't consider the unspoken aspect of her develo...
Dec 01st 2021
130
StarGO = HBO Go
Nov 29th 2021
98
Haha ! Oh shit it's true.
Nov 30th 2021
116
The fact Kendall survived this episode was the biggest win for him
Nov 29th 2021
99
Watching a mid life crisis and possible suicide in real time
Nov 29th 2021
100
This has got to be the "rock bottom" & signify some change
Nov 29th 2021
103
I missed that the marque read The Notorious K.E.N. | Ready to Die
Nov 29th 2021
101
LOL no way. I gotta watch again.
Nov 30th 2021
117
Writers could prolly tell someone was getting a little too sympathetic
Nov 29th 2021
102
That was a really good episode. However...
Nov 29th 2021
104
Yep narrative Circles are getting tiring
Nov 29th 2021
105
my main problem with this season
Nov 29th 2021
106
Yea I worry that this could fizzle a bit like Boardwalk Empire did.
Nov 30th 2021
118
I got the impression they were celebrating too early.
Nov 30th 2021
110
Yea good call - hopefully that's the case.
Nov 30th 2021
119
I hope so
Nov 30th 2021
121
Yeah I assume their hubris is going to bite them hard here.
Nov 30th 2021
122
Logan needs to die suddenly
Nov 30th 2021
111
      Seems like they've *really* been setting this up...
Nov 30th 2021
123
      Hearing a few takes that Kendall is gonna die
Dec 01st 2021
135
           I had that thought after this last episode but figured everyone did lol.
Dec 02nd 2021
136
                For sure. But thinking of show's internal vs external universe
Dec 02nd 2021
138
                     Agreed ! But shows gotta be bold sometimes and take chances.
Dec 02nd 2021
139
                          Lol yeah i watched Boardwalk
Dec 02nd 2021
140
                               Haha yea I never watched GoT but I've heard that was their steez.
Dec 02nd 2021
141
                                    it's well worth it to me, even though they flubbed the landing
Dec 02nd 2021
142
                                         Mannn I tried, I really did - I just can't do dragons bruh haha.
Dec 03rd 2021
143
                                              Lol i LOVE the dragons but the fantasy aspect was my least favorite
Dec 03rd 2021
144
Only 9 episodes this season ?! Weak.
Nov 30th 2021
120
Succession party eps always deliver and this was an 11/10 ep
Nov 30th 2021
124
What's your estimated price tag on Kendall's party?
Nov 30th 2021
126
It was probably pretty pricey to recreate his mother's snatch
Dec 01st 2021
127
      whoa i dont think its nearly *that* much
Dec 01st 2021
132
           $2 *bil* check.
Dec 01st 2021
133
                OH Lol
Dec 01st 2021
134
Party episode was this season's MVP imo
Dec 01st 2021
128
started watching this a couple weeks back
Dec 01st 2021
129
Nah I think this season has been the weakest thus far as well.
Dec 01st 2021
131
      to me it seems like they stretched out this story too long
Dec 02nd 2021
137
From the moment this was credited to Armstrong/Mylod it'd be a banger
Dec 05th 2021
145
great episode
Dec 06th 2021
149
So. Much. Cringe. (SPOILERS)
Dec 06th 2021
146
It was always bound to end this way for Roman, really. (spoilers)
Dec 06th 2021
150
RE: It was always bound to end this way for Roman, really. (spoilers)
Dec 07th 2021
166
      Damn. You really may be on to something with all of this.
Dec 07th 2021
168
You can have a piece of my love... dumb bitch (c) Guy
Dec 06th 2021
151
      I don't even really understand what she means here.
Dec 07th 2021
169
           Tom is friendzoned in his own marriage
Dec 07th 2021
176
           she kicked him now she has to reel him back in
Dec 08th 2021
183
I just don’t even know where to begin with that ep
Dec 06th 2021
147
RE: I just don’t even know where to begin with that ep
Dec 06th 2021
148
      needed bombs drops this ep
Dec 06th 2021
152
My finale theory that is looking less and less likely (spoilers)
Dec 06th 2021
153
LOL oh c'mon that's the oldest trick in the book.
Dec 07th 2021
170
This whole episode was ether...
Dec 06th 2021
154
it's kind of the perfect way for him to go out
Dec 06th 2021
155
Well, I don't think he's dead
Dec 06th 2021
156
The two things holding Kendall back:
Dec 07th 2021
160
I agree.
Dec 07th 2021
171
RE: it's kind of the perfect way for him to go out
Dec 07th 2021
164
      Lol! on that not i like how he attempted to twist the dick pick thing
Dec 07th 2021
167
           Hahahaha great point.
Dec 07th 2021
172
this stands out to me
Dec 06th 2021
157
      Yea that's why I think Kendall has to fuck him over somehow in the final...
Dec 07th 2021
173
is Succession just a high-end Entourage? Fun to watch but no stakes?
Dec 07th 2021
158
two things re: the "nothing is happening" complaint:
Dec 07th 2021
159
well put on all
Dec 07th 2021
161
Eh... I don't know if Kendall hasn't changed more than Shiv
Dec 07th 2021
162
All this.
Dec 07th 2021
174
RE: is Succession just a high-end Entourage? Fun to watch but no stakes?
Dec 07th 2021
163
The stakes are all off-screen
Dec 07th 2021
165
RE: The stakes are all off-screen
Dec 13th 2021
219
Entourage tho?
Dec 07th 2021
177
Gerri's dude is the DOJ connect, right?
Dec 08th 2021
178
Oh right - I think so.
Dec 08th 2021
179
We're gonna find out Shiv's pregnant in the finale, I think.
Dec 08th 2021
180
god i hope not
Dec 08th 2021
181
      Haha totally. And Tom, to a lesser extent.
Dec 08th 2021
182
           props to Tom though
Dec 08th 2021
184
                lol very very very true. Guy is brilliant with those.
Dec 09th 2021
187
                RE: props to Tom though
Dec 11th 2021
189
i kinda can't stand the Matson character
Dec 08th 2021
185
i feel the same way
Dec 08th 2021
186
theses characters outside of Logan's controlled world are fresh air
Dec 09th 2021
188
i liked him in the finale btw
Dec 15th 2021
243
Whenever Shiv is angling for something it's SO obvious
Dec 11th 2021
190
Kendall pulled a Marlboro from an American Spirits pack
Dec 12th 2021
191
So much for the “nothing happened this season” talk. (Spoilers)
Dec 12th 2021
192
White Wedding
Dec 12th 2021
195
it's always Tom and Greg season
Dec 12th 2021
199
      Forever.
Dec 13th 2021
211
re:
Dec 12th 2021
200
This was one of those "in front of our face the whole time" turns.
Dec 12th 2021
201
this scene is so good on rewatch
Dec 12th 2021
205
He called Greg “Sporus.”
Dec 13th 2021
206
      the Tom callbacks this season are incredible.
Dec 13th 2021
222
I guess now we know...
Dec 13th 2021
208
Absolute baller shit.
Dec 13th 2021
212
Yea they stuck the landing HARD.
Dec 13th 2021
210
that episode was nonstop succession to the max
Dec 13th 2021
215
shiv was looking kinda thick.
Dec 12th 2021
193
always lol
Dec 12th 2021
196
extra thick this week
Dec 13th 2021
207
Jeremy Strong did some acting this week
Dec 12th 2021
194
He’s gonna get some awards for the season he just had.
Dec 12th 2021
197
I really, really hope they push Macfadyen for supporting.
Dec 12th 2021
203
      100000000%. Not many actors can pull off the range of facial expressions...
Dec 13th 2021
213
now that it's out,
Dec 12th 2021
198
I wouldn't be surprised...
Dec 12th 2021
202
Brilliantly acted, but I think I’m done
Dec 12th 2021
204
yeah im prolly out after this season.
Dec 13th 2021
209
      i dont know if logan is going to just accept the buyout
Dec 13th 2021
214
      I think this season is the worst of the 3 but was still great.
Dec 13th 2021
216
      that finale was great
Dec 13th 2021
220
      i'd go 2 > 3 > 1
Dec 13th 2021
223
      agreed on all counts
Dec 13th 2021
227
      I really hope it does.
Dec 13th 2021
217
      why cash out now. the kids actually have to be something
Dec 13th 2021
221
      When has DOJ or a whistleblower brought down a media network tho?
Dec 14th 2021
232
           All great points. I agree.
Dec 14th 2021
236
Only quibble: How did Tom get to the villa so quick?
Dec 13th 2021
218
thats what makes me think tom really did tell on them
Dec 13th 2021
224
Team Logan
Dec 13th 2021
225
i think kendall is the only one that had the right to expect to take ove...
Dec 13th 2021
226
greg would need to take a sharp uptick next season
Dec 13th 2021
228
LOL what ?! Why ??
Dec 14th 2021
237
      i thought at the start he'd prove to be surprisingly capable lol
Dec 15th 2021
240
           Haha word word gotcha.
Dec 15th 2021
242
Greg could never take over
Dec 14th 2021
229
Roman does get things done though, which is more than Shiv can say
Dec 14th 2021
231
The only one set up to really take over is Tom, tbh.
Dec 14th 2021
233
      Yup, and he proved himself to Logan this season
Dec 14th 2021
234
      Tom ain’t trying to go back to Ohio*, and he’s actually competent
Dec 14th 2021
238
      there's a connection there
Dec 15th 2021
241
      for sure
Dec 14th 2021
239
      Logan found the killer
Dec 15th 2021
244
the kids are awful, but Logan had a large part in making them that way
Dec 14th 2021
230
      this is very true
Dec 14th 2021
235
random thoughts on second watch
Dec 15th 2021
245
The kids plan was mostly to take Logan out of action...
Dec 16th 2021
246
      right, but its such pie in the sky thinking
Dec 16th 2021
248
all the talk about this being a down season, they went out with 3 banger...
Dec 16th 2021
247
rewatching the whole series for the first time
Dec 20th 2021
249
This has been a bit distracting to me:
Dec 20th 2021
250
It'd be neat to know but ultimately doesn't matter.
Dec 21st 2021
251
I rewatched much of Season 3 after the finale with my wife.
Dec 21st 2021
