Brandon Williams playin like a pro
An he playin' .. playin' like a pro
Hahahahah! Yes! So boss!
this the real game of thrones without the fantasy
Agreed!
There is fantasy all right lol they have their own craft vibe and Maroc tricks dont they
This is much better then game of thrones imo
@@imadabbou1766 definitely better than GOT's final season
And hopefully without the shitty final season.
One of the hardest hitting lines for me, and I believe the starting point of Kendal flipping a switch, is when Naomi says “Ken, he loves the broken you.” His father only loved him when he wasn’t a threat, submissive, and broken. Kendal immediately gets illuminated as if finally seeing the difference between the pitty love he was getting while broken and the respect love he wanted from his father. If his father will only do pitty love, then it’s not worth trying to get him to love you.
You can literally see the enlightenment expressed on his face the moment she says it.
But his father always want Ken to be an lion and not a lamb, because he can't leave his company in the hands of a moron like Romulus. So Logan like to humiliated him to help Ken to find this evil part who can help him to be the alpha.
Do you wanna call your dad 😄
That line of Naomi's shook me as much as it did Kendall. I yelled "Yes!" at the TV.
Amazing explanation of the sitch. Everyone is sleeping on this show including me. Found it during the height of the pandemic and binge-watched it and then binge-watched it again. I want to see Ken come into his own. He deserves it.
I love the subtle body language switch in Kendall when he gets off the plane at the press conference. He holds his head higher than he has all throughout the second season.
I honestly feel like this season 2 finale is one of the best episodes of tv that I’ve ever watched
Agreed!
Agreed!
💯
Don't overdo it!
What about Dexter finding Rita in the tub?
“The only way he’ll respect you is if you try to destroy him. Because, in your position, that is exactly what he’d try to do.”
damnn who knew......ROMAN was right all along
Roman is smart and knows how to read the room.
@@rafinha7081 Definitely. He has the business world equivalent of “street smarts.” He fails in his ignorance to the mechanics of business, but is strongest of the siblings when reading people
@@rafinha7081 Roman is "smart" but really more of a theory vs praxis kind of guy. He's astute, can be attentive to detail, and is witty... so he can recognize and call out problems; but he lacks commitment, ability to focus, knowing how to pick yourself up when you fail and keep going etc. which sucks because it means he can't implement any of the solutions to problems he thinks up. He can just think of solutions, never actually carry them out because of growing up so spoiled / always having someone fix problems for you.
In wich episode he says that?
‘connor couldnt even manipulate his own left foot’ PLS leave the future president alone 😭😭😭
haha my apologies
Lol
#Conheads
The Conheads are going to love this
Connor Roy was interested in politics from a young age
There is a reason Greg was in the plane with Kendall. Greg probably gave the documents he saved from the fire to Kendall. Greg did mention the documents to Kendall earlier.
Yeah the final scene also shows Greg holding a packet of docs. Possibly incriminating evidence against Logan
@@pritishgandhi5368 you can't make a tomlette without breaking some gregs
Can we be sure? Greg's envelope didn't says "SECRET" 🤣
One of the best season finales i have ever seen.
It's a masterpiece!
But....
@@tinetannies4637 das one powerful but
I agree. One of your best 👤
It truly was an epic plot twist, came out of no where, but in retrospect it was right in front of us the whole time.
Roy smiles at the end because he acknowledges the killer instinct in his son... is like a vow to a powerful new enemy.
I see it the same way
I think Greg is the most dangerous and underrated caracter of the show.
Agreed
Exactly! He started vomiting on a character costume in a park and now look where he is.
I fuckin love greg
I loved Kendall's character progression. Ambitious to failure/depression to a shell to ruthless. Well done
The smile at the end of the show reveals the truth when Roman said Kendall that he has to stab his father in the back to get his love.
True
Another reason the “no real people involved” line hits Kendall so hard is that waiter would be one of those not “real” people. Kendall feels immense guilt over his death and towards his family that it’s clear Logan does not care about people like him. Kendall’s sees that he himself is a very different person to Logan since he actually has some capability for empathy and realised that he can’t win against Logan by trying to impress him he has to go the complete opposite direction because he’ll never be like him.
this show is so shakespearean i love it so much
Haha same!
@Jack Strawb maybe because people don’t talk like they used to in the 1600s???
@Jack Strawb Thank god
@Jack Strawb there's just as much punnery, innuendo, and double-speak in Succession, it just happens to be in contemporary vernacular.
He's floating in the pool like Jesus on the cross ready to take on the suffering of others
Very true
Yes, but also ready for his resurrection.
Another thing in the finale that shows he is the right person to succeed, everyone else defends their partner. Shiv asks for Tom to be spared, essentially saying to Logan that she doesn't want the seat if it causes Tom to be sacrificed. Likewise Roman stands up for Jerri, whilst it's doubtful Logan knows about their romantic involvement, he is likely aware that Jerri has been guiding Roman. However, when Logan asks Kendall to send Naomi away, he does it without question.
He was willing to sacrifice it all, and therefore had to be the subject of the final test.
I think you’ve drunk the Kool Aid! The idea that you must betray your loved ones to succeed is pure Logan Roy sociopathy.
Shiv and Roman both had huge wake up calls. Roman with his hotel imprisonment, and Shiv when Tom finally called her out for her wedding night desire for an open marriage. Their motives were complex but Shiv and Roman were in part trying not to be purely selfish for once.
Kendall's statement at the press conference was also a sign of growth in that he spoke plainly about his father's abusive nature.
Succession is a story about family abuse. Logan Roy has destroyed his children's ability to love and trust. They don't know how to have relationships that aren't transactional. Roman and Jerri have their pact. Shiv and Tom have their plan. Connor and Willa have the play (not to mention she was a sex worker!)
Kendall doesn't use his relationships for utility but he can be cruel and selfish. In season 1 he couldn't hear his ex-wife's clear statement that they weren't getting back together. In season 2 he flew the actor from Willa's play to Dundee then dumped her via a Roy employee because his Dad disapproved of her use of the word "awesome".
Going back to who should run Waystar Royco. All I'll say now is...
If you think cruelty is an essential tool of corporate leadership, then perhaps it's time to reconsider capitalism.
@@spewter I would say I agree with your assessment, "If you think cruelty is an essential tool of corporate leadership, then perhaps it's time to reconsider capitalism",
as relating to reality, which in my opinion is the key component in the difference between capitalism and corporatism. However, and I'm just making an assumption
here, I think SamTheBroGamer's response was based in the confines of this fictional family and storyline. These people are self-aggrandizing morally bankrupt people whose only claim to fame is money. So having said that, I think his assertion has merit and argument could be made in support of. Again, as stated in the onset, I completely agree with your statement when speaking in terms of reality and glad to see the honorable side of capitalism promoted.
That's a great point
This show is so layered and endlessly captivating...
A classic in the making!
Logan wanted a killer, well here he is... I can't remember my jaw dropping faster than like it did during that press conference. This episode was shot on such a beautiful location, yet everything that happened was just cold. Just a long chill sent down your spine throughout the finale.
The number one boy
@@conflux2300 I've been binging the series. I'm starting season 3 today! (First time)
@@ethanstechworld207 nice! Enjoy
I don't know why everyone forgets the phone call Logan gets from the shareholders in the beginning of the finale. Logan is told carte blanche his head has to roll and no one else's will do. Again, this season was all about Kendall's redemption. NRPI. Logan knew how much the kid Kendall killed mean't to Kendall. These words, along with "you're not a killer" is what pushed Kendall to turn on Logan. All by Logan's design.
I agree. This is a very good assessment and could very well be plausible. For Logan to not fall on the knife is unacceptable from the shareholders standpoint, by having Kendall out him shows strong leadership and aligns with the shareholders wishes. However, if this was indeed Logan’s doing, this means that Kendall will only be a leader through Logan’s proxy - which means Logan is still in charge…
I agree and I swear I thought I saw a smile from Logan when Kendall did the press conference
@@toddcutsuries54 maybe to some extent, but I think Logan very purposefully decided not to just tell Kendall to throw him under the bus. He gave his son all the cards to be able to make that decision, but he allowed him to make the decision himself which makes Kendall a true killer, not just a puppet of his father which is what he always wanted for him.
I think Logan smiled because his Son is finally "a killer" but also because he knows that his Son is also literally a killer or at least can be implicated as One. (All you need is blood in the water, the sharks will come)
I'm a little late to the party but I wanted to mention that breakfast scene in the yacht that happens in this episode. It's one of my favorite scenes in any tv show and a brilliant example of the show's writing. It shows how each character is, in the end, in it for themselves. Their selfishness and egoism are on full display. The writing is almost Shakesperian with the wit and the characters quickly trying to defend themselves by accusing someone else. It's crazy how great this show is. October can't come soon enough.
That killer line was beautiful. What a fucking ending!
'it was all part of his plan' is too cheap a trick that I hope Succession didn't use because it would be very disappointing and would make the finale much weaker. We know that Logan isn't exactly the all knowing anti-hero that plans every single move and is not necessarily more intelligent than everybody else- Kendall did almost take him down in 1x10, for all we know Logan was caught unprepared and if it wasn't for the last minute cover up for the murder, Logan did not have any leverage against Kendall. He can manipulate the feelings of his children but to rest of the world he's a bully with money and that's mainly how he gets what he wants. I think the smile indicates his satisfaction at Kendall's arc and killer instinct(which is also what Shiv told Kendall he lacked in the first season), but that does not mean he is just going to take the fall because he's too selfish and lacks any moral inclination to do that - Logan thinks of himself first and foremost. Noting that Greg and Kendall have bonded on multiple occasions (Kendall gave him an apartment, Greg was assigned as Kendall's companion on his lower moments etc) and Greg is the only character in the show who suggested having some form of moral principles (when he said he believed in the integrity of news and wanted to be transferred) I do think there could be an earnest alliance there. I hope this was an actual twist/betrayal, because it aligns more with what the show is trying to do- we're not supposed to let Logan take us for a ride, we're supposed to question everyone's loyalties and ours, and there is a dynamism that comes with the multiple possibilities. The show does not side with or admire Logan; on many occasions it shows us his shortcomings and cruelty, and he gets cornered by rivals pretty frequently which he cannot get out. I think in the last decade of anti-hero shows where the characters are unbelievably intelligent, all-knowing and calculating God-like figures, we're trained to think that they cannot be defeated, they must have seen this coming etc. But now this seems like a tired, lazy trope which leaves no chance to be surprised and excited. I think it's time to leave this trope behind because frankly it got old and this creates much better drama.
Love the video by the way! And your lovely accent :)
Agreed. If Logan actually orchestrated this highly unpredictable outcome, it would make it seem that Logan is almost a divine writer of the script....that he's outside the show. I think they gave Logan that tiiiiiiiny smile at the Season 2 closing because Logan is pleased that Kendall is blossoming to be who he needs to be and isn't just a broken, guilt riddled drug addict. But for Logan to have *planned* for Kendall to betray him....that would be a huge leap beyond credibility. I really really hope they don't do this.
I think it was not that it was an intentional outcome, but at that specific impasse he knew he was putting his son in a situation where he COULD do it, and either outcome was preferable to Logan. If Kendal betrays him, he deserves the throne, if Kendal folds, Logan deserves the throne. I don;t thin kit was orchestrated so much as Logan gave his son one final chance to do it right, and if he didn't, Logan's original vision that he be the one to lead the firm, not his son, would be proven valid.
The key point is the weird way Logan says "sure, maybe, but you aren't a killer"- it was off his character to say that, like it was a dare. He didn't plan for it, but he either subconsciously or intentionally left it as an option.
@@patmos09 I generally agree with you except the last part about Logan telling Kendall he isn't a killer. Logan said it more with a tone of resignation and fact than as a dare, and that's because even though Kendall actually did kill someone, he demonstrated throughout the show that he doesn't have the ruthless spirit of a killer. Kendall repeatedly resorted to drugs as a form of escapism, he broke down and couldn't handle the emotional stress of being an actual killer, he returned a broken man to the supportive arms of his father. Contrast this to Logan, who blithely looks at people being killed as NRPI....No Real Person Involved. Logan DOES have the soul of a killer
@@tinetannies4637 I dont think I agree with you. You cannot interpret words of logan, especialy to his children, this literaly. I think Nick is right here- it was a final chance for Kendal to become independent, or stay Logans bitch. By quoting the NRPI line to Kendall, he showed that it isn’t leverage that he will use against him. And Kendall showed he is a killer- not by „killing” (i dont think this is a right form to say that. It was manslaughter, not murder, and they both were at fault.) that boy, but by gutting vaulter. Kendall from s1e1 couldnt have done that. He was too much of a pussy, he wasn’t a killer. Now he is.
@@tinetannies4637 I also think the moment that call came to Logan, telling him he should step down, he realised that he is the only head that can be „killed” to satisfy the hunger of the stockholders and the public- and he won’t even go to jail. He is obiectivelly the perfect person. And he is slowly dying. Goddamnit, he is 82 at the end of the s2e10. The only thing he really has to do now is protect the company and find a fitting successor. Overall, you can see that from s1e1 logan is trying to turn his children into responsible adults. Crazy Roman, that was shit at everything he did, is slowly starting to learn and might be a good COO. Shiv, even though she was determined to do somehing on her own, is back in the family business, and possibly able to take over pr and marketing parts of the company, and replace logan in the relationships with politicians (since nor Ken nor Rom have any). And Kendall- obiectivelly the best candidate from the beggining, but way to much of a pussy then to do what has to be done.
Logan's smile is an acknowledgment that Kendall has the guts Logan always knew he had.
I figured Kendall would speak the truth when I saw Kendall and Gregg go on the airplane together and to the conference. Since Gregg had those documents he saved .
Yes correct, last scene shows Gregg having those documents.......
Nice Video, there was a lot of things I didn't pick up there. This just makes me more keen for season 3🙌
Thanks for watching as always bro!
Connor fixed the butter... everything will be just fine!!!
Watching this video with tears in my eyes. This show's finale is really close to me.
The finale definitely hit hard
How so if I may ask?
Unexplainable. You have to watch.
@@ashasahmad5037 I had watched it. I just wanted to know why it's close to you 😃
Omg love this explanation!! This is the type of breakdown I needed!
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you liked it
What's crazy is this SHOWS how fucking powerful and intelligent Logan is. I truly believe that Logan orchestrated this entire situation-he definitely groomed Kendall into flipping and has ultimately turned Kendall into the "killer". Kendall is in full belief that he now has the power and has turned on his father. BUT, this is exactly what Logan wanted! Everything he wants, he GETS, and this finale shows it all. Logan made it very clear that nobody thought it would be a good idea to throw him as the face of the Cruises negligence, so he had to make sure he could point the fingers back at him without making it look like it was his decision because everybody would clearly be against that idea. I mean, this finale just SHOWS that even though kendall completely flipped the script, it is truly Logan that gets the results that he wants. He just manipulated his son into taking the throne. Absolutely brilliant. best tv series i've ever watched in my life and i cannot wait for season 3
It wouldn’t surprise me if he did, cuz I do agree he is very smart, however I don’t think that was quite the case, I think he deep down wanted it to happen, and basically gave him the final chance to become who he wanted him to become and was happy yet pissed when he finally seized it. He knew he needed to be the guy to take the blame but knew it couldn’t be him outright, he knew someone had to seize the power, if no one is going to step up take it by force, then he doesn’t feel comfortable leaving.
I hope not. You know how it's boring watching Superman because he's....super? Having Logan *know* that Kendall was going to betray him would thematically elevate Logan into an all-knowing superman and, conversely, reduce all those around him into even greater misfits than they already are. Flawless, omniscient characters are boring and unbelievable. I think it would be a huge blow to the story arc if season 3 begins with "Surprise, it was all planned!"
I think you're spot on
ur theory is utterly fanciful
Just finished it, absoloutely incredible show
One of the best
A wonderful analysis! Made me all the more excited for the 3rd season now :)
Oh hey a fellow South African! Great video 🙏🏾
Thanks boet!
Great analysis. I think Logan’s smirk and gaze in the last scene tells us that Logan expected this
Yeah I don't believe Logan would be dumb enough to not know saying "no real person involved" would push Ken over the edge. Especially after it was Logan who took Kendal to Andrew's family's house where he saw the aftermath of the boy's death... kinda confused by this.
Great analysis! I’m getting psyched for season 3!
Such an underrated show !! Thanks for the deep analysis 💃🏻💃🏻
Season 3 can't come soon enough! Thanks for watching
Outstanding! Thank you for your analysis and breaking it down in such away , I like many others appreciate it.

These videos are amazing!!! Been looking for a channel like this for a long time
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed them!
You are so on point with this break down! This episode was just amazing and so poetic! Sock it to em Ken!
Thank you! Truly a great episode. Can't wait for S3
Literally modern day Lannisters and I love it
A brilliant analysis of a brilliant series...Succession is one of the best shows I have ever seen
Thanks! Yeah, it's such a great show
This is really brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Ava!
Wow, great analysis man, thank you. Can’t believe I missed the double reading of the blood sacrifice line. What an incredible scene that was. Right up there with the “I don’t know what I would be for” scene with Shiv. Some of the best-acted drama on TV. Can’t wait for next weekend.
Thanks for watching. Yeah man, Sunday can't come soon enough!
I love how almost every comment is replied. Salute to you m8. Keep up the good work and can't wait for the next season :)
Thanks Duncan!
Or another option could be that Logan manipulated his son to go that very route without K realizing it. Logan did afterall say at the lunch meeting that he needs to go. In a way he is saving his own company by steering K to “betray” him.
I like your interpretation!
YES! From the very beginning Logan doesn't show that he doesn't want to be succeeded by Kendall, he shows that he doesn't want to be succeeded by Kendall at a stage where Kendall follows his father. Logan wants Kendall to be diametrically his opposite because only then succession is possible. Succession is possible only when one thing is followed by anOTHER.
Logan clearly shows that he wants to be succeeded by Kendall. At the end of season 1 ("you are my number one boy") and the start of season 2 (Logan telling Shiv that he will make Kendall CEO, and only offering her CEO position to change her decision to sell).
Hence at the end Logan smirks in pride and contentment, knowing that he has found his successor, a person who is completely opposite of him.
@@heder6973 This is a great way of putting it
@@heder6973 Could you please define what you mean by him being opposite? In what sense?
@@george5464 opposite: of another quality and character entirely. if logan is ruthless then he wants kendall to be opposite and to stop trying to mimic his father. Which kendall only does in the final 5 minutes of the whole show. in those 5 mins kendall finally and clearly shows himself to be opposite of his father, as kind instead of being ruthless, "a bully, a malignant presence".
Brilliant analysis, thanks
Thanks Tristan!
"ONE of my favorite show"‽ you mean THE BEST SHOW ON RIGHT NOW!

Just found your channel content is great dude. Subbed, hopefully you get more recognition soon. LOVE succession. Can’t wait for season 3
Thanks for that, man. I appreciate it
Kendall played an uno reverse card on that last scene
Haha, indeed
Or maybe Logan's starting to see his son becoming a killer, and regardless of him being thrown under the bus he's proud of Kendall
For sure. I think Logan feels complicated because yes Kendall has turned on him but that also makes Logan happy since it proves Kendall has what it takes
“I don’t exactly know…what I would be for…” god that line had me choking up
I would go with episode 9 in the same season. "You can't make a Tomlette without breaking a few Greggs" is possibly the greatest line ever written ;)
That line is pure genius
@@conflux2300 I love how the line is never spoken by Tom yet manages to somehow be so quintessentially his 😅 great job on the breakdown, it’s a hell of a show 👍
@@Milesg9924 haha yeah, thanks for watching mate
Actually, it was Kendall he had planned to ascend. He KNEW Ken would do this! He (on purpose) told Ken he's not a killer, knowing it would spark him into taking 'killer' actions. Oh yes, he was 'banking' on this to happen. This was his ploy to elevate his favourite son (yes, Ken is his favourite)....he's got an exit strategy though....you'll see..... S3 is out soon.....(is it?)
We will need to wait untill end of 2021... but I had the same feelings while watching... Logan looked proud...
When there was a shooting in the office building, the way Logan pleaded "Is Kendall okay???" revealed his true feeling about his favorite son and heir to the throne.
My first thoughts, too, when watching. So good.
Logan isn't capable of that. He's impulsive and lives a reactionary life, personally and professionally.
We've never seen Logan pull off a strategy such as manipulating Kendall into betraying him.
He's smart, yes, but his superpower isn't strategy. It's lying. It's ruthlessness. It's cruelty.
Ken is his favorite but also shits the bed everytime he's given a chance. Once the pressure rises he caves and brings everything down with him. Without Logan no one will save him from himself.
Absolute masterpiece
Really good analysis , waiting for season 3 😁
Thanks, same!
Kendall, telling the press that his father keeps an eye on every inch of his empire,def Logan knew about Greg with the papers, so he connected Greg with Ken(the episode where he told Greg to lookout for Kendall) from that point onwards Ken and Greg started to connect.
I think so too
I think that's a stretch. He had way too much going on at the time to know what he's good for nothing nephew was doing. Besides, I believe it's better that Kendall did it on his own. If not, it strips a bit of power away from that scene.
Logan must have definitely known that Tom sent Greg to destroy the evidence at some point, but I don't think he could've known Greg had copies of said evidence in case he needed it, only Tom and Kendall knew that. I feel Logan had Greg take care of Kendall simply because he looks like a nice, naive, calm guy who needs and wants the money he gets working for his uncle, so of course he'll take care of his cousin if his uncle asks him to do it. I honestly don't think Logan has felt that Greg is any form of threat, at least not yet anyway (and he's certainly underestimating how smart Greg can actually be)
@@Viviana-pe5sh I also feel that Greg's grandfather had more of an influence on that long car ride than we realize. Grandpa Ewan is against the way Logan runs the business. He got thru to Greg, who is a sleeper shark, in my opinion.
Great analysis!
Appreciate it John. Thanks for watching!
I cried when I realised I will need to wait untill season 3... is there anything anywhere near as good...??? Please...
@Tony Terry billions is great! i recommend
I found Yellowstone to be the cowboy version.totally enjoyed Yellowstone. Billions wore thin after a while, they exhausted me. Perhaps it was the lack of humor.
@@beckybackert Agreed. Yellowstone is not as good as Succession. Yellowstone feels more raw and bloody, a very different vibe, but it is enjoyable to watch and it has nice family dynamics, too.

"What could you possibly kill... that you love so much... it would make the *son* rise again"
That line is pure 🔥
Came here from your Reddit post. Good work! Nice video
Thanks for watching!
The more I think about it, it seems like Logan knew this was coming and it's all part of the plan.
Logan's smile definitely gives that impression
@@conflux2300 The whole show is how Logan grooms Kendall to actually take over and become someone that people BELIEVE can take over. Logan turned Kendall into a killer.
Logan wanted him to do it.
@@destinyflower5595 I also think so
@@conflux2300 sry, but this is fact, because the Shareholders wanted LOGAN not Kendall. Logan isn't stupid, there was no other option.

Such an excellent show ❤️
What a classic!
Ive just found your channel and loved the critic. Haven't found nothing like this in portuguese. I wish something like this to the finale of i may destroy you.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I may give the show a watch and perhaps do something on it
Leftovers s3, Fargo s2, BrBa s4, and Succession S2 are masterpieces.
Still need to see leftovers
I feel like there shouldnt be a 3rd season. these 2 seasons were PERFECT. Im really worried, at the same time, obviously, I want more.. its a weird feeling.
They've said they have 4 seasons in mind...5 at most but nothing more.
@Teal Square great. Best series since game of thrones. They are like parallel morality plays. Power corrupts et al. Very timely.
one of the great individual episodes in tv history
Agreed!
Awesome video man! I actually want Connor to become the President in that chaotic world, parallel to our own. Willa would make a great First Lady based on Connor's funeral speech lol. Hope she and Marcia are involved more in S3! Also, does Roman have a daughter? Or is that Isla's daughter on the pilot episode?
Ah yes, please make more video about TV shows like Veep, Euphoria, and The Boys! Your voice has a great intonation it's enjoying to listen to!
Haha Connor 2024! Will definitely look at making more videos on other shows. Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great video
Thanks Shehryar, and thanks for watching!
to me it's clear that this was the plan all along, especially because in the beginning of the episode one of the investors tells logan that he needs to be the one sacrificed
You mean that Kendall wanted Logan to sacrifice him?
@@conflux2300 Yeah, because they wouldn't accept Kendall as the Scapegoat. In fact they want Kendall as CEO, this was mentioned many times before. Just Logan thinks that Kendall is to weak, so he gave him a last push
@@conflux2300 more like Logan wanted kendall to sacrifice him
At first I thought his smile was grudging respect for the move, but more and more I think it is the smile of a tiger who is hungry and fully ready to eat their young.

@@conflux2300 I agree, you need to continue your analysis of this show......there is so much there and you are very good at what you do !
@@conflux2300 Expand on each character starting with Kendall...
SUCCESSION isn't a famous show unfortunately but I think after the Emmy award , it will be well known...I liked your analysis/interpretation of the finale .
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Mhm...it's on the top 5 most popular right now for sure.
I hope that it is a well known show....I don't see it advertised anywhere and no one I know watches it, but me. And I find it absolutely fascinating.
That smile was a hint of pride.
At 4:58 the commentary suddenly disappears and then you just hear background music. Why aren’t there other comments about this? It did it on two different devices for me.
Hey. This is because of a copyright copyright strike. Theres a link in the description to a video with the working audio
also in s2 episode 9, when logan is talking about blood sacrifice in the last scene, the news in the background says something like “say it straight, kendall roy.”
That's awesome
Logan's smile indicates that he is happy that his son is now a killer.
Agreed
I can’t wait for season 3! I absolutely love the casting and character arch’s. Best show on TV ❤️🔥
Such a fucking good show dude
Season 3 get in my veins
This episode tore me up completely. I looked at kendall's arc very differently. Essentially, I thought his ultimate desire was freedom. A way out. He needed out of the guilt of the murder, the vice of his drug use, and the fact that a lot of his strategies in the two seasons got him to a point where he was arguably in over his head. When I realized that he was doomed to take the fall, I thought it was a perfect way to fulfill his ultimate wish. I was dead wrong. This show is incredible
Absolutely! Can't wait for season 4
That kiss...meaning "I'm a killer"
"You're not a killer... you need to be a killer. "
The cruise ship scandal began with a witness who used to work in Waystar Royco and want to speak the truth of the uncle Mo actions, in the birthday party of Logan Roy, executives of Waystar Royco and Shiv are trying to solve this problem by trying to shut up this witness, they said that they offered him 20 million dolars for his silence and he didn't accept also they ask for any number and this guy didn't accept, I have the theory that Kendall is being planing this punch long time ago, not just after the season final conversation with Logan, and the reason why this witness didn't accept the deal is because he have a deal with Kendall, also i've been thinking about this, because the series didn't tell us how Kendall overcome with his suicidal thoughts. I don't know it's just a theory, hope you can tell me what you think.
This reminds of Anakin and Palpatine a bit almost. The ending reminded me of episode three in that Kendall turned to the dark side by killing his father, he is now the killer that his father once said he could never be, and his father smiles because he is now a killer just like him. This to me seemed like when Anakin turned to the dark side and palpatine was smiling too at the fall of this person. Kendall is a killer now and in their industry, you have to be a killer. Now he isn’t a broken robot, but rather a person who has the same instincts and ruthlessness as his father. Over time he probably will become just like him.
“NRPI” is what used to refer to the boy who died in the car accident in England. He wasn’t calling Kendall that.
Yes exactly. But it showed Kendall that Logan does not see these as real people
