The Disruption

I have spent all of my Succession "tenure" veering between being a fan of Kendall Roy and loathing him (a truly exceptional performance by Jeremy Strong by the way.) I'm just watching season 3 because I waited to watch the last two seasons together, and up until the last fifteen or so minutes of episode 3 I really disliked him. But then he walked down that corridor in that scene and my heart broke for him. You could say he's the architect of his own downfall and for all his bravado he's vulnerable and insecure and wants nothing more than the love and respect of his father. The one thing his money can't buy. I've a long way to go but for today I'm team Kendall. To be continued...

Without saying much, this episode was a masterpiece and in my opinion the best of the series so far. The writing is great, as usual, but the way in which the direction, editing and score work collaboratively to capture the tensity and subtly exude the chaos, especially in the final ten minutes, was like watching an orchestra give the performance of their lives.

I hope Cathy gets to direct another episode in future because she definitely understood the assignment with this one.

Season 3 continues to deliver with more schemes, backstabs and family drama. The acting and writing truly is phenomenal this episode. The cinematography is also stunning.

There is one scene near the end of Kendall just walking through a corridor (you'll understand when you watch it). And it's one of the best scenes of the season so far just because of its subtle but profound use of cinematography and acting. No dialogue is required as you can clearly see every single emotion kendall is feeling in that moment. This is exactly what I love about this show. There is so much fast, clever dialogue in each episode, but at the same time, succession knows when to just shut up and let us appreciate jeremy strong's acting abilities.

Exceptional episode of television.

This season continues to rise, I love the cast, they are always creative, especially Logan Roy. The production capacity is very high and excellent. The soundtrack is great. I also watch the introduction every episode because it is one of the greatest intros in the series hbo They continue to entertain us with their work.

I just wanted to point out how excellently everything wraps up this episode, it's truly a feat of directing, writing, and acting all coming together beautifully. These talented people playing in HBOs flashy playground is truly outstanding. Can't wait for more more more!
