Succession (potential spoiler alert)

Post by Ozza »

I mean it's cringeworthy at how brutal it is, but me and the mrs are addicted to it.... didn't see what happened in the last episode coming, wow

Can we talk about that episode yet? Don’t want to give it away for anyone who’s not yet seen it?

I have lots of questions!

Love this series. Last episode was superb the way they did what they did and having the kids as the focus.

Ok so a couple to start off with.

1. Was anyone expecting him to go “surprise I’m not dead” at the end?

2. What happens now in terms of plot? Who wins the game? I’m going to guess none of them and Logan has left a present to stuff them all in his will or something.

Great questions, the mrs and I were saying that he wasn’t dead and it was a rouse to scupper Conor’s Wedding, then we saw someone doing CPR in the background and it dawned on us that he was on his way out

Re question 2, I reckon they kill the Maddson deal and it’s all out civil war and they destroy themselves and everything which seems the best way to end the series and its probably what Logan would have enjoyed watching

For a good while I was convinced it was a play to f*** the kids over somehow.

Still. In. Shock.

Other shows would have had signs of him faltering, going out with some OTT dying acting after collapsing during an epic tirade etc.

The way they did it with Tom's garbled phone call completely out of the blue and it slowly becoming clear that Logan was being given CPR which he was never coming back from was one of the biggest rug pulls of all time.

All this from the guy who gave us Super Hans as well...

I think for the first time I can remember in 4 seasons they dropped the black comedy. There was about 30 minutes of straight drama/tension with virtually none of the usual comedic dialogue. Just superb straight acting.
And they were all being genuinely nice to each other for once. Proper ‘wow’ impact.

Shits about to get real now.

Another one who was convinced they would get him started up again and he'd be controlling stuff and ****ing them up for the rest of the series from comfort of his private bed - like after the very first episode when he had the stroke.

It was a proper rug pull indeed Smuts.

With the amount of episodes still remaining, I doubt there'll be much mourning going on.

They'll be tearing into each other now to get the inheritance. It's gonna be disgustingly epic!!

I certainly spent most of the episode thinking it was some kind of wind up!

Going to be a rollercoaster all the way to the end now

I’m finding the weekly wait for an episode agonising now. Just want to binge it all to the finale.
