Don’t mind me, just pre-grieving the end of this show.
Ur gunna break down crying in the podcast post ep 10, arent u?!?!
Exactly. All good. All fine. We'll be fine.
Same here.
(Then cut to a day after the finale - me crying like Roman at the funeral)
excited for the big speech after the final episode!
You should book a meeting room for that
In the end it was a double funeral: One for Logan and the other for Roman's ambition to be CEO.
And another one for Kendall's soul, as Time Magazine put it.
Roman's a Consigliere, not a CEO.
sheesh
@@AleJorgeThomas wait time magazine?
@@AleJorgeThomas not shiv also?
Roman’s funeral breakdown was both immensely satisfying and terribly sad. Then his nihilism at the end in the street bookended it. I knew he’d deliver a tour de force, and he more than exceeded my lofty expectations. Hail Keiran Culkin.
And that scene with Mencken being surrounded by the sycophants, favor-seekers, and deal needers was like something from a Bugs Bunny cartoon. “How ‘bout me, boss? And me boss?” Political satire at its finest.
yes but why is it any surprise that mencken will just value the big man in the room the most or vice versa? shiv willing to serve second hand because she's not a man so not a predatory threat?
All the performances were Emmy caliber, but Kieran was a knockout. Him breaking down at the Funeral was almost unbearable. It had me tear up thinking about my own mother's funeral years back. I barely held it together. Bravo Kieran
@@lyrilljackson It's more like he doesn't value much his alliance with Ken and Roy and bother blocking the gojo deal when it's beneficial to just allow it, Shiv would be CEO but not the owner and a US CEO at that so political alignments don't get in the way much in this regard.
@@chebil_y4967 no. too much writing wobble. bs.
The polio story reveal is the final link connecting Logan and Kendall.
Logan doesn’t know if he killed his sister but carries that guilt, same with Kendall and the car accident.
damn that’s a great point
Well with Kendall it’s a lot more clear cut and dry with Logan there’s still an if
It was only a matter of time before Roman broke down, It was like a ticking time bomb
My gosh, Caroline is bloody cold! No wonder why these kids have issues. But I must say, her rallying together all the main and side chicks together front row was comedy gold.
I don’t think it was comedy though. It was her mature way of including them because aside from being Logan’s mistresses, they shared a special bond with him for a while and they sort of deserved to be acknowledged by the impact they had in Logan’s lifetime.
i somehow agree with both of you
Agreed - I think it was kind
Side chicks unite! And it was actually touching. They actually knew him. Logan would hate it. It was perfect!
@GlobalMovement,
Caroline is the worst (the actress is amazing!). How could Caroline continue to sit there and just watch Roman’s breakdown on the alter? Zero maternal instinct to comfort her child in pain.
I actually cried during Roman's breakdown. This is exactly how it feels to lose your father and finally have it sink in at that moment. This was one of the best episodes in the series, in my opinion.
I did as well.
I couldn't feel the same, I just don't feel any sympathy or empathy for these characters. I was probably more guilty-pleased to see him getting humbled and humiliated and losing control because of his uncle's speech.
Really? I found it the weakest of the season. Meandering. Going nowhere.
I havent cried that intensely to a tv show ever
It feels very bizarre to declare that that is "exactly how it feels," as if everyone doesn't have incredibly different relationships with their fathers (or indeed very little relationships at all)
Kerry and Carolina scene was 100/10 probably the most wholesome and emotionally mature scene in the entire show
you mean kerry and marcia?
@@21lacla kerry and caroline, mother of 3 dragons
I think it's Caroline's last f u to logan tho
@@21lacla yes kerry and marcia. caroline is caroline at least appearing to feel sorry for roro.
@anarczi three wet tissues is more like it.
Fascinating reversal of Kendall & Roman. I knew Roman’s grief was coming, but did not expect it like this. Not a fan of Mattson or Mencken. Kendall is very Michael Corleone in this episode!
Kendall gathering up his team at the end. Colin ,Hugo and Frank from a previous episode.
I said this episode reminded me of The Godfather
Yeah, yeah.
What a show.
💯
The scene where Kerry is invited to sit in the front row is just AMAZING in terms of its emotional power. One of the best scenes in TV history. Whoever wrote that scene and dialogue deserves an Oscar!!
Tom is going to become the CEO, he was the only one that didn’t make the funeral because of work. Logan was mad Kendall came to visit him on his bday, imagine what he’d think about attending a funeral.
The thing IS he's not Logan
@@dennisgichohi5392 He is Logan's son. He's been proving to be more and more like Logan this entire season.
Oh man I wish he well end up winning 💔
He is Logan's heir. But it would be better for him if he eventually lost completely. Because in the pursuit of business, he moves away from everything else. From his children, family, becomes more and more like Logan.
I will laugh when he crashes and y'all cry, lol. All this copium and hype for nothing
After last night's episode, I'm inclined to say Succession has now become the greatest series of all time in my eyes.
I haven’t seen too much television but it will be a while before anything comes up that will be in the same realm as this, Breaking Bad, and Fleabag S2 for me
Uhmm, no. Very good TV for sure but not up there yet with the greats.
@@BurningMonk23 what are the greats? Genuinely looking for recommendations now this is nearly over btw.
@@mushy470 Breaking Bad, Sopranos, Better Call Saul, True Detective Season 1, The Wire. If you havent watched them already, go for it :)
Breaking Bad also is worth a (couple of) rewatch (es) in my opinion, that show for me is still the most perfect piece of television ever produced.
@@BurningMonk23 I second this. I watched them all from your recommendations. Currently catching up on The Sopranos.
P.S. Breaking Bad is my all time favourite.
dude the acting in this episode?? emmys all around
Ugh, love that Mylod says he doesn’t talk to the actors before an emotional scene and doesn’t interfere with their process. He’s a fantastic director and it makes me admire this cast even more - they just show up and give a performance of a lifetime again and again and again.
Ewan showed a lot of class, I expected him to tear into him
Well he did, but in a blunt honest way. His humility is what keeps him from coming across as petty.
In my opinion he showed that he’s just like his brother, just couldn’t let it go, insulting your brother in front of his whole family and the rest of the world while he’s dead in a casket is not a showcase of class
he did a reverse compliment sandwich lmao, i found him to be petty and hypocritical
I’m glad we finally figured out what happened to Rose.
@sealteam6220 idk he hasnt done any of the awful things logan has, and the fact he has a mixed view of his brother is understandable
Romans breakdown, which we’ve been anticipating all series, was so heartbreaking and masterfully done
It was an incredible easter egg having Rupert Murdoch playing the priest
0:53
All of the actors were amazing, just the best. The incredible presence of James Cromwell filling all of the space of a cathedral was an added treat. But, please, please honor Kieran Culkin with an Emmy. What he has done this season has been just incredible.
Crying twice in this episode.
One for Kieran’s spectacular performance on the funeral. 👏🏼
And the second time is for Sarah and Matthew. I just cry with them😢
I never get emotional from TV but it was something very special. I was feeling it when Ewan was speaking and tension was building a little bit but when Roman broke, I literally cried.
Hoping that Brian Cox was sitting in the back of the church watching the funeral of his character...
He was there, he said it himslef.
Brian Cox's wife played the other mistress!
He was in the coffin. He is that dedicated.
There was someone in the car with Mattson while he was on the phone with Shiv and that's THE KEY…he didn't specifically tell her that she would be the CEO, he's going to betray her.
Greg!
*Tom...and Greg*
Tom
Roman way of seeing the world was shaken by the loss of Logan. Now he basically just want to watch the world burn with his father. He's not afraid to be in pain and spread that to everyone else too, which makes him truly dangerous at this point.
They all have deserved their nominations and the Emmys they have won. I think Kieran was even better than ever this year. Hope he gets an Emmy.
This episode and Connor's Wedding episode are my absolute favourites. Kieran better win that Emmy because watching Roman this episode was tough 😭
Same. Church and State is easily my 2nd favorite of the season. All the emotions felt raw and realistic in this episode. Kieran Culkin absolutely killed it in this episode. Him breaking down felt so realistic and innocent.
He will. I mean, how can he not?
@@kimberquirky this time he will be nominated for lead role not supporting alongside Bob Odenkirk for BCS Season 6B tough shoes to fill in Bob was phenomenal as gene/Saul last few episodes showed his best acting ever since BCS's season 4....also Jeremy strong will be there so I think it's tough Kieran has done amazing this season but it will be tough I heard he will be nominated for lead actor and if he will be nominated for supporting role ....it's his trophy left right and centre ....
America Decides and Nobody is ever missing for me
This show is a masterpiece .
Exactly 💯
This episode should get at least three Emmys: Kieran Culkin, James Cromwell and Mark Mylod.
That was probably one of the most brilliant episodes so far, from start to finish. The acting was incredible but Kieran Culkins performance was next level. It almost felt like a release for the audience too. Like behind all the jokes and the front he portrays that everything’s fine, that ultimately he’s just a boy who is mourning the loss of his father. The release of his pain felt like perfect timing.
HOW IS THERE ONE EPISODE LEFT? I NEED MOOOORE
Same!!!
Kieran Culkin is knocking this out of the park
I don't know if anybody noticed this. When Matsson ,Shiv and Greg were talking at the funeral ,Greg mentioned that Tom couldn't make it because he was busy at ATN and Matsson made a interesting expression. Like ,"really ,that's amazing". That made him think. I think Mencken loves the idea of new era Waystar but with an American CEO and it's not Shiv. My bold prediction is Mencken looking past the shady numbers in India and pushing the deal through with Tom as CEO ,Greg as his attack dog and Matsson as the puppet master.
Greg as CEO and Tom as his lapdog is my bet.
Tom will be the CEO appointed by mattson imo.
Because of his triumph walk in preview of ep 10 and because is the perfected bait for kendall if he need to turn atn eyes for jimenez.
He can then deliver tom head for giving the Mencken call, which is smthing that tom wants to ppl know
I agree though it could possibly be Greg on top with Tom still running ATN... Matsson is very much Logan with his misogynist view of women, so i think he is going to stab Shiv in the back... I also think Mencken really prefers alpha male Matsson over the unstable Roy boys
@@AdamMcCarthy74 The EGG is the darkest horse of them all
@@stgreenie Shiv is going to be shafted. She's a horrible human being but I feel for her. And she's awful among many other human degenrates so ...what's a Girl to do in that mess of misogyny poor thing
Kieran Culkin kicking @$$ in tonight’s episode!
Best season of TV since early GoT and Breaking Bad. Just brilliant. Stick the landing and this will be a classic that people will talk +20 years from now. Well done.
This was Kieran's season and this episode is the pinnacle of his acting prowess. I don't ever remember sobbing as much as I did during Roman's eulogy. Just terrific. Give that man every acting award under the sun.
The cast have nailed every episode, such beautiful work every season but this one has been particularly difficult and they have completely delivered.
I just wanted to hug Roman. My little perverted boy.
It might all hinge on how far Shiv is willing to go for the jugular against Ken, Roman was never going to pull it off.
Woof woof
Roman's breakdown didnt surprise me. He has a child mentality & his words match. " is he in there? Can we get him out of there". Good writing!
Roman’s breakdown is exactly what happened to me when my grandad died three years ago. Didn’t feel it at first but it hit me massively at the funeral.
Brilliant acting 🙌🏼
Kieran should get an Emmy for this.
The last scene of this episode, where Roman almost seems unconscious about him getting himself in the aggressive mob, his flight to the masochistic way he has been treated all his life, to be mentally & physically beaten up, is such a hurtful sight to witness. You can tell this is what he was used to experience as being the youngest Roy sibling, and be doing so again, is creating heartache & goosebumps. Well done, writers & cast.
Ken train woof woof 🐶
this ep is just something else...didn't expect Roman's breakdown, but its all so real, the emotion comes in not right at the moment you knew, but rather waves in you after a while, I teared up when watching that scene
It's so hard to see who gets the Emmy. Has really been incredible watching them all this season. Favourite moment was Shiv - YES no
Another flawlessly directed, brilliantly written, well acted tour de force. All deserve endless praise, but Culkin was beyond superb.
Point out one small difference which speak volumes about the difference between the generation here… *Evan hated Logan but never went against him* he voted with him in the last board meeting cause blood is thicker than water probably that’s why Logan was too till the end undefeated _( hey it would have much lesss than four seasons otherwise)_ *on the other hand* Roy siblings love each other but are constantly sh!ttng on each other plan… hence Matson, Mencken are so easily able to take advantage of them… Man if Logan was there, there was no F-ing way Mencken would speak directly to Matson… Abe was right a House divided against itself cannot stand…. Except for Greg no one knows how the game is being played.
Greatest episode of the entire series. The ending has to be absolute perfection to top it.
I think it will end how the show started
With kendall on the car and his dad’s driver as driver.
But this time he is a killer, in every way of the word.
Another phenomenal episode, so emotional, and can’t wait for the series finale, but still not ready for it to end
Everyone on the cast and crew deserve awards for this episode!!
Roman is done, this episode was his send off. Obviously he will be a part of the last episode but its Shiv v Ken at this point.
My two cents for the finale: i think mecken is not gonna take the office and all the favor-asking games between the characters are gonna be for nothing. ATN will get caught in a scandal and they are going bankrupt, along with Geri's multi-million lawsuit. The last scene will have all of the siblings working at a theme park (just like the first scene we saw Greg on episode one). The end
you might be on to something but even with the company going bankrupt these people wouldn't have to be too worried, im sure if they liquidified all their stuff they could comfortably live for atleast another 500 years lmao. mencken is not officially a president yet but the courtcase is going to be long and dreadfull.
it isnt gonna be that wild
I thought this series would lose its momentum with the death of Logan, just shows why I'm not the writer, this is a stunning season.
Where was Stewy?
Colin crying as Logan was being taken out gutted me 🥹🥹
Karl roasting Roman was brutal. That man is a monster 😂😂😂. He sounds like a calf he says.
Keiran Culkin needs to win all the awards. he blew me away
What a masterpiece of an episode.
These last few episodes have been incredible, a show on its way out at the very peak of its powers.
Best show since The Wire and The Sopranos. With one episode left, I still have no idea how it's going to go.
the irony of roman joking about kendal "emerging as the winner of the funeral" and then kendal actually effectively emerging the winner 😭😭
If this show does not win Emmy this year and Sarah Snook does not win Outstanding Supporting Actress and Kieran does not win Outstanding Supporting Actor, I don't even know what's good and bad anymore. Like, the Cast is super stroooooong!
Soo 2 hour finale? Idk how the series will be wrapped in one final episode
90 minutes actually
@@Voyager759 haven't been watching the previews or anything before each episode, was just a guess
If you didn’t like this episode, you don’t like comprehensive, multi-faceted mastery on display
And you don’t like nuance or complexity.
How do you even end the show here? Anyone of the sibs being CEO feels anti climactic. Selling does too. I feel like we're gonna be left wanting more
Left wanting more when it’s at its best is always better than wishing it had stopped earlier once it’s lost its touch
Maybe it’s gonna be Tom. Mattson is a misogynist and he doesn’t like that shivs pregnant, I could tell.
They’ll make a spin off like HOD…
@@tjmackie4815 pahah no they won’t
Ewan should take over - the kids are useless.
The acting in this show is outstanding, every character nails it but the 'sibs' are next level. I'm gutted this show is coming to an end but they're certainly going out on a high
I have a feeling Mencken and Lucas are going to try to backhand everyone. My hope is that the chaos of last 90 minute episode brings the kids and Tom all back together to work against a complete wipeout.
Bro most likely my prediction as well....because there is so much to cover the last episode will at least be 1hr or 1hr 10mins
@Booper Dooper it's great then
great season.......get the end right...not like so many ends of shows.
Jeremy Strong Emmy. That’s eulogy 👌🏽
The acting on this show is the best I've ever seen on TV
Awesome Episode. I loved it. Just surprised you didn't use Roman's Come at me guys shot that was used in the previews. Now, did you change that or did you just thought Roman getting struck was more intense. Fantastic Show. We'll miss you. Ready for the last 90 minutes.
I CAN'T EEEEEEEEEVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man this episode just flew by for having the longest run time,superbly written/shot/acted/directed..they managed to do this every season but this being the last its just balls to the wall,no time for theorizing your just literally in it,gona be sad saying goodbye to these characters 😢
It was essentially 4 seasons in waiting for Romans inevitable break down. The constant dismissal of his father, the reveal of being physically abused, his father dying - it felt like Romans entire arc was building towards his coping mechanism (of putting on a silly front) breaking.
Magnificent episode 🤩
He was a salty dog but a good egg
Woof woof.
Woof woof.
Woof, woof.
i think the last 4 episodes have not been that good. a lot of bad chess moves one after the other, lacking much follow through. The finale is going to be way too packed and hectic
The masterpiece before the masterpiece
Kierans line read of 'thus emerge victorious as the winner of the funeral' lives rent free in my head
also Jeremy Strong was onto something in the interview on the podcast saying that Logans funeral was Kendalls coronation
0:17 - soundtrack please? so epic.
The most quixotic part of me hopes Tom and Shiv somehow manage to be good parents
Effing brilliant
Never seen Roman cried this hard before, I was burst into tears
Woof woof
For four seasons, we watched what we believed to be some kind of poignant satire, about people living in a bubble, bloated with money, hollow and empty inside, devoid of soul or morals. The characters remained static, without any self-development or change, and now with the death of their father, we get something that was not built as a process at all. Roman, for example, one of the most hated, most disgusting characters, is suddenly presented as a lost and grieving child, full of grief and guilt, qualities that we may have only hinted at before, but the minority was enormous. The tone of this series is uneven and confusing, and I am still trying to understand what the director is trying to tell me, in the end, what the story is. There is not a single character in this series that evokes sympathy or empathy, they are all grotesque, evil, and this is not the face of capitalism as a whole, or the face of rich people as a whole.
Every episode this season has been hands down superb and epic. Bravo on the writing.
The end of the episode LITERALLY showed how Roman, isn’t respected (hasn’t earned respect) and was always trampled over. People saw him as the clown and paid him no mind. What a great actor Kieran is though! Wow. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽👏👏👏🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
"God, I hope it's in me". Better give Jeremy Strong the Emmy he deserves, he is a monster of acting
Who is Matsson staring at the end? I predict Greg is his CEO pick
I think so too
tom would be more likely
Thank you HBO for financing the show and allowing Jesse Armstrong and his team to go beast mode! Absolutely brutal, as ken says reverse Vikings
woof woof
Been saying it’s between Kendall and shiv and none of them is going to win, Roman was out the moment Logan died, don’t think he realized how bad Logan’s death affected him and messed up his mental health
how do you people manage to make this show more and more spectacular each episode... i can't believe it's ending
Barely a mention for the writing and the tonal consistency? The cast is beyond brilliant but they would be far less effective without the stellar scripts - Armstrong didn’t put a foot wrong in this episode - the speeches, the dialogue; and the overall tone was perfect, one of tragic realism. No room for sentiment or political signalling - the ‘bad’ politicos were given good speeches and Shiv’s probably genuine views of Mencken were counterbalanced by her obvious Machiavellianism. These are human beings, not cartoon characters.
Nearly perfect. Roman and Shivs' impression of Kendall was a bit crap.
I felt the speeches from all 3 children were fitting. They could never live up to his expectations. All 3 speeches, except for the end of Kendals were hopeless. He would've watched on with dissappintment at how they had failed him.
Sublime!!!!!!
Kendall lining up his team, he looks like he’s gonna be the King now. Bittersweet cause really none of them are Logan but it had to be one of them.
And also because he lost his soul in the process.
