Succession Season 3 Thread (Includes Spoilers)

Finale felt more low-key than expected, but pretty grand nonetheless. So many great actors, but Matthew Macfadyen is particularly awesome.

 

The ending had that great quality of "didn't see it coming, but in retrospect they had been building to it all along."

Also love how they use Conor Roy as both comic relief and theme deepener. He believes he should be President of the United States despite being totally unqualified, simply because of the family he was born into—and really, the only difference between him and his siblings is matters of degree.

 

Tom and Greg are gonna kiss next season, right? Like Tom totally wants to but is denying his gay/bi side. But that deal-with-the-devil scene had so much sexual tension in it. At some point they have to break, don't they?

 

Really thought the finale was set up well. Tom clearly is sick of being shit on by everyone. All of the little moments from this season -- Tom calling Logan pop, Shiv with her ridiculous pillow talk, the meeting with Ken at the diner in Virginia -- it all paid off at the end.

 

I thought that Jeremy Strong was a little too over the top in the scene with him, Shiv and Roman. But otherwise a great episode.

 

Also, I assume that the kids still get their cash, they are just out of the business

 

Season 8 should be centered on Greg's time as king of Luxembourg.

 

Next season they should fast forward with the kids all working normal jobs.

Shiv is a bartender. Roman is a Wal-Mart manager. Ken is .... well Ken is still in rehab again.

 

Make your own pile!
