In the season 2 finale, I was literally standing up, cheering for Kendall. And then he proceeds to fumble everything so badly 🤦🏽♂️
Kendalls problem is exactly what Logan said. It's sanctimonious bullshit.. Kendall is good at playing the game and he's a killer at times but he also has a concience and some integrity that his father doesnt.. but he ends up taking it way too far to the point of basically virtue signaling, and he loses focus. That phone call with naomi where she's telling him that hes unironically the best man in the world.. just gross. Logan is right, Kendall's move had nothing to do with making the company better or helping the victims, or justice, or whatever, it was just to get back at his dad and save his own ass and try to get power. If he could cut the crap and stop acting like he's saving the world and realize that he's just a rich man playing the game to get richer, it would probably go so much better for him.
Yeah Kendall has enough conscience and integrity to recognize the bad shit as being bad and want to veer away from it, but his main motivation for doing so is wanting to feel like a good person and the fact that it's a good move. But a good person wouldn't exploit women getting abused as an opportunity to grab power, so he convinces himself he's just doing this for the good, morally pure reasons, and looks to others to affirm and validate that. And yeah I think that inner tension of lying to himself like that is a root of a lot of his issues.
Logan knows who he is - Kendall doesn’t.
Kendall's flaw (well, one of them anyway) is he is damn needy and addicted to praise and validation from other people. Neither Roman nor Shiv remotely care about what anybody (bar daddy) think of them, but Kendall needs everyone to tell him what a good boy he is. It's especially obvious here how he basically treats his professional employees like they are some kind of bizarre harem who need to flatter him.
It's sooo funny how his prospective employees are supposed to be pitching to him but instead he pitches and wants their approval
Kendall’s biggest weakness has always been wanting to look like THE good guy
People tend to call this season mid but I love it, idk what more people could want. Also I think it’s hilarious that Roman was Logan’s first choice and blew it because he lost confidence
it gets much better after the midway point but i always felt like Ken reverting back to S1 Ken immediately after the S2 finale where hes this composed stone cold killer was jarring
@@gpauldejesus Feel like the whole of Kendall is two extremes, he does not have a happy middle.
@@shahriachowdhury9552He’s an addict. That’s how they often operate. Wild swings in mood and attitude. Zero balance.
I just think it has a slow first four episodes especially after the masterpiece that was the season 2 finale. I think this was necessary however for the seasons structure and everything after Retired Janitors or Idaho (such and underrated ep) is top tier. Also Matthew Macfadyen is on fire this season, such a well deserved Emmy season for him
@@mimiarnn I love that episode too
As a Kendall lover this season was rough lmfao. Also fun fact, male razors work pretty well for pubic hair. I feel like that's what Rava was insinuating since she had no issues telling him that she was dating in the past.
Just this season? Lmao
@@rafaelhenrique4139 lmao good point
Kendal is manic depressive but when he gets to high on himself he gets over confident moves 1000000 miles an hour he does his best work when he’s in his depressed states which is obviously bad for him
Binged this show for the first time in June but I already have zero recollection of what happens in Season 3. Going to be like a first time reaction for me.
It’s definitely not as memorable as the other seasons. But still good
I'm all apart
Oh I certainly remember that finale 🥴Damn . It was good
I remember the scene at the beach with the 3 siblings but that's about it.
@@truedardii:(
It feels just like yesterday when I finished watching this series. Feels good to relive all of these moments again with you ladies
Did you just assume their gender
@@Dylan.More-Veiny Did you just ask me that?
@@buhlenzimande9303 yes I did. You should respect their genders
@@Dylan.More-Veiny Could you please kindly explain to me how it is that I was being disrespectful? I'm not being sarcastic. I just want to be more understanding
@@buhlenzimande9303 lol read my name. I’m trolling
"Who said I never killed anyone"
This season 3 premiere episode came 2 years after the season 2 finale because of the pandemic. Production really had to mobilize and follow all COVID measures to get all the locations and film everyone with cast/crew. You can argue "The Crown" had any chance of winning Best Drama Series Emmy or any nominees had a chance was due to Succession taking a year off.
Brandon said he’s gonna make up another plandemic and start enforcing mandates again soon
@@Dylan.More-Veiny Grrrrrrrr I hate demoCRAPS 😡😡😡😡😡
I love how any notion of Ken actually being the real deal is deflated in the first ten minutes. He's such a hack when push comes to shove.
Love the Adam Friedland Show cameo
Despite Kendalls crazy energy i really needed to see him... "happy".
Even this line in the car "are you sure i didnt kill anybody?" i lol'ed :D
I really enjoy(ed) your reaction(s), thank you for sharing!
I don’t know that mania is happiness. Like FR. I laugh every time I watch this episode, but it’s out of nervousness. Logan & he are like whirlwinds
@@HoundsBaneFair, yes. Arianna had good words to describe it, too. :)
Best season of the show
Your observations about Shiv...
Season 2 finale was the domino that fell for all the characters. From here on, the games begin for all the characters
Lisa is Sanaa lathan..
i binged the show all at once so it was surprising to me to go on social media & see everybody hating on s3 & loving s2 bcuz it was the exact opposite for me 😂 s2 was boring to me & s3 felt like a step up & s4 was amazing
10:21 how the hell does someone not know what sarajevo is
americans who know geography outside North American are the exception to the rule
I don't think any of them fit borderline PD. Kendal seems manic depressive to me, Logan is a narcissist. Shiv and Roman definitely have some narc tendencies and they definitely all have attachment disorders. Would love to see a psychologist react to the show that's for sure 😂
Considering your final remarks about the trauma and inner demons of the cast there is actually a great video from a clinical psychiatrist who goes through the psychology of each character and how they represent different types of high grade narcissism

WOOOHOOOO. CRINGE KENDALL IS BACK BABY!!!!
S2 and S4 & the back half of s1 are the highlights of the show for me. S3 has a few banger episodes and the rest is kinda slightly mid..
For me season 3 is the low point of the series. Still great, and better than most of the TV nowadays, but comparing to the other ones it is weaker. Especially that allegedly funny comic we will see in the future episdes. I cringed so hard in episodes with her xD
Such a bad take.
i love this show but to me, this transition between the season 2 finale and the early parts of season 3 is by far the weakest chunk of the show, i think it could’ve been handled better especially in regards to Kendall
at the end of S2 hes a stone cold killer but now hes completely reverted back to S1 ken??? that always felt jarring to me, like an artificial nerf of a character
yeah, almost ruined the show for me when i watched it
I always saw it as Kendalls high, like the substances he takes as soon as he does something impactful he's on this wave of bro moments and just full of himself. He really does not have a happy medium.
That’s an interest take. I think if you’re watching it as Kendall developing into “a killer” in the same vein Logan, it may be jarring. But if you look at the show as a tragedy, Kendall’s fragility and need for validation has always been core of his character. He’s always nerfed himself.
@@Melodicroger oh I dont want to give any spoilers but the killer thing might be misguided... I tragically think that if Kendall had always followed his own initiative he might have been more successful than he currently is.
@@Melodicroger im looking at it the way it was presented up to that point, specifically in S2 where they showed him at his lowest but there was growth and him reaching that moment of triumph at the end of S2 was earned and it felt like something that would stay in terms of his demeanor
It’s been like 2 years since you last reacted to Breaking Bad. 🥹
