10:15, never noticed how Shiv pulls away when her dad raises his hand in her direction. Implies to me she wasn't spared her father's physical abuse as a child. I'm curious if her abuse was simply physical, like the boys, or it was of a more sinister nature, if you catch my drift.
@@greggoat6570 With Succession being a comedy with excellent drama versus a drama with excellent comedy, I think we will see McKay and team allude to more physical and possibly sexual abuse by Logan, but find it unlikely they will ever explicitly say Logan sexually abused Siobhan or any of the other kids, simply due to it being too dark.
@Bly Guy I don’t think that would too dark for a show where arguably the “protagonist” leaves a guy to drown in a car and never takes responsibility for his actions that directly lead to the situation in the first place.

Hi I really appreciate this breakdown! I love the way you delved into other media that influenced the show and directly parallels it. I've loved the show since I started it, but for it to be broken down and put in simpler terms helps me consume and enjoy it even more. Thank you!
Breaking Bad had this problem in the beginning BUT once you got past the first 3 or 4 episodes....... The development of Walter White throughout the series is one of the greatest works of art I have EVER seen !!!
Yeah 8t totally happened the same to me. I watched like an ep and a half but didn't catch me. Then, I restarted it paying A LOT of attention and I just finished season 1. Really looking forward to season 2 and 3.
Nice video, I love the parallels this show has to the classics like Oedipus Rex, and as was mentioned, King Lear. However, Roi is french for King and it doesn't sound like at all like Roy, but the actor playing Roy was quite well known for playing Lear on the stage.
I’ve been hearing all this hype over this show and I just watched the first season and although it was enjoyable I just can’t see why this show is as highly praised as it is. Maybe going forward I’ll see it but as of right now, it’s just ok.
Everyone on the show is despicable... People feel sorry for the kids and demonise Logan but I find him to be the most consistently moral character in this nest of vipers. Kendall walks away from killing a kid like nothing happened. His arrogance and stupidity are extraordinary. Same with Roman... Despicable character. The level of entitlement in all 4 kids is quite frankly extraordinary. It would be the funniest thing in the world if at the end of it all the dullest tool here (Cousin Greg) ends up in the top job.
OMG I said the same thing. It would absolutely ruin the show almost in the same way that GOT did when the guy in the wheelchair took top job... But just imagining it satisfies me because I feel this family deserves that. LOL
Kendall definitely doesn't just "walk away from killing a kid like nothing happened." He carries that regret with him until the end of season 3, it's quite clear. Do you not understand that Logan created these kids?
@@BryceEdwardBrown ah that wasn't fair. This was a nice snappy analysis. I just finished season 1 and I felt like I learned a few things I missed from this vid

Roman launching the rocket early for shiv is so funny since shiv didn’t even care 😂😂

Remember ep 2 when Siobhan went to see him and he started taking her hand "down there"?
I’ve been waiting for/wondering if that will come back

When you said "take Roman" I thought you were about to launch into a brand deal.

I absolutely love this show. Please do season 2
Although I love this show, I found the pilot, especially the first few scenes, incredibly uninteresting with a complete lack of a hook.
strangely yea the pilot was very weak, but the following episodes caught my attention
Same but to be honest..once you make it to ep3 there's no going back!!

I was casually viewing but during that baseball game with the kid, I got hooked. I knew i would this family.
Also, Brian Cox played Lear on stage!
Nice video, I love the parallels this show has to the classics like Oedipus Rex, and as was mentioned, King Lear. However, Roi is french for King and it doesn't sound like at all like Roy, but the actor playing Roy was quite well known for playing Lear on the stage.
roy is roi in older french.
idk who you are but now that I know we both love "The Other Guys" "The Big Short" and "Succession" I now have to see everything you recommend.
Love this show. Season 3 premiered this 17th but I'm crying and throwing up cos HBO max isn't available in my country.
It's hard to like anyone on the show
Gerri I like
The best commentator on Succession bar none.
I’ve been hearing all this hype over this show and I just watched the first season and although it was enjoyable I just can’t see why this show is as highly praised as it is. Maybe going forward I’ll see it but as of right now, it’s just ok.
This show also have a lot of “Karamazov Brothers” of Dostoyievski
Who is the monk brother and who is the one who sleeps with his father's girlfriend?

Greg is my goat
I really wanna see CEO Greggg
Yes!!! Exactly my wish

Can I attempt a bear hug with you bby?
You didn’t really explain much. Just drew some early comparisons to King Lear. You provided a rushed overview, with some mistakes, of season 1.
Hopefully you like my other videos on succession better!
@@BryceEdwardBrown ah that wasn't fair. This was a nice snappy analysis. I just finished season 1 and I felt like I learned a few things I missed from this vid
yes pls
How did Logan reignite Kendall's drug habit? Through the news coverage? I feel like it was inevitable.
True, but it also turned his ex-wife on him. Seperating him further from his family
@@BryceEdwardBrown Looking forward to a rewatch before season 4 comes out.
LOL just finished S1, definitely dark sided Bluth Family LOL
Gerri a dime. I said it.
naa i be laughing with Roman 😂😂
How stupid is Kendall at the end of season 1. I mean wtf ???😢
Maybe his daddy was right about him, Kendall lacks that killer instinct, he's too emotional.
Man you skipped the season 2!
I don't know, it was just boring to me . Still have no idea what they actually do .
are you going to do an analysis of squid game?
Yes!
