Featured reviews
Mostly about a family dinner and several other things. This show is so damn good and so well written; I continuously love Jeremy Strong!
This episode was pure gold. The writing is magnificent and the proof of that is how much you can feel the stress that Shiv, Roman and specially Kendall are dealing with. All the characters are very well written but these three are treasure and so are the actors that play them. Emmys and golden globes should give them that credit and if they don't they are idiots.
I think this episode is underrated, it should have more than 9.3. What I have just seen was pure perfection. Just the dinner scene alone makes it one of the greatest episodes of all time. But that tension between the two families is captured amazingly all through from the Roy's family arrival to the Pierce's residence.
Jeremy Strong continues to be a phenomenal actor, he has so much charisma, and he is interesting just by staring at nothing. But I'd give a special credit to Sarah Snook here, it was her best performance so far.
The atmosphere they captured, the social observation, the whole Roy's family dynamic are done perfectly and it got me so involved that I watched with the mouth open. Wow. The writing - WOW. The camera - I love it.
The show is getting better and better when you already have some bonds to the characters that only disgusted you in the beginning of the show. Kendall, Shiv, Logan, and Tom - great character development and performances. Roman and Greg also start to show some really good acting and I'm sure they are gonna nail it as well. I LOVE the show.

Succession is the best show of 2019. I won't accept the opposite. Is simply.
This episode is pretty much never talked about alongside some of the best episodes of TV, which is unsurprising to be fair. It's a middle of the season episode with no real major shift in the direction of the story unlike a lot of the most acclaimed episodes which tend to be filled with twists and turns and are often season finales.
But what you have in this episode is to me just perfect. Every single moment is brilliantly thought out by the writers and flawlessly executed by the cast and crew, delivering a story filled with detail, tension and emotional weight.
I can't think of an episode of Succession where we got so much insight into so many characters and it's a credit to the incredible writers of this great show.
And oh my god, the Kendall and Naomi plot line, so damn good.
Can't say enough, 10/10 and one of my favourite episodes ever.
