Dundee

There are quite a few things I enjoyed with this one. For starters, the comedy felt on point, Logan returning to his hometown as a bitter old man gave me shades of Bruce Dern in 'Nebraska', a hilarious yet touching comedy-drama from a few years back.

There are jokes, scheming from the Roy children (which is fairly fun to watch) and even a particularly uncomfortable rap from Kendall during the episode's climax.

But interspersed amongst this are real elements of drama that are continuing to build up. The dynamic between Greg and Ewan, leading into the bathroom speech delivered by Logan. The final words Ewan says during this episode. Shiv's scheme to dispose of her enemy. It is a mixed bag, one that relieves some elements of dramatic tension whilst not completely derailing the entire story.

It, again, feels like a developing episode, but Succession is arguably the best TV show I've seen in a long while for keeping these types of episodes fresh and interesting.

I really like brother, played by James Cromwell, one of the most stellar actors of my lifetime. Logan goes to Scotland where an incredible birthday party has been planned for him. He begins to tear down the foundations that have held him up in spite of himself. There are more secret meetings because there are forces outside that could ruin things. Greg, an interesting character, is worried about his inheritance. Kendall hooks up with a beautiful young woman, but it always gets back to his inability to keep his father out every conversation. Logan is also being promiscuous and abandoning his wife who has aided him and helped him along the way.

This is such a high level of drama. Old English, Shakespearean school.

The cast are fantastic, big Greg is awkward and funny his rash was hysterical, the rap scene with Ken at the end was great a fantastic episode.

Continuously enjoyable, I've grown to love the cast more and more as it goes on. I respect the writing crew so much and I'm quite shocked there wasn't more Emmy nods recently! Regardless though, very pleased with this one. Cool how there's a fun surprise scene halfway in.
