The Munsters

What an extremely BORING episode! I couldn't wait for Succession to finally come back and they just want me to go to sleep while watching this episode to start THE LAST SEASON?!,!?!!,?? So boring I felt like it went o for 5 hours with nothing I couldn't guess. Dear God I hope they step it up to end this. If you want a snooze fest for a great show this icon the episode to watch. Nothing happens that you couldn't ever guess from season one episode one.come to me y'all had over a full year break for the next season and this is what you give us? I do very very hope that y'all do better for the rest of the season or I want my hbo max money back!

Now that enough time has passed, it feels like this might be the most confident a season of Succession began. Season 3 also kicked off in a pretty frantic way, but there's a little more control here while still leaving so much up in the air. The kids are more or less where you'd expect them to be, and things kick off with Logan stuck in the middle of a party held for him that he clearly hates. I kind of like how there's no build-up to it. We know everyone hates everything about these things now, and Succession makes the most of that.

I felt a tiny bit sorry for Logan and Tom in parts of this episode, and I don't usually. I kind of appreciate being challenged/surprised in that way.

Still the same captivating show but first thing I noticed this season compared to previous seasons is that it seems as if they have replaced an abundance of big words with more profanity. Not that I have a problem with profanity because sometimes it's the best way to convey feelings or mood but there is certain scenes where every other word is f___. It's a bit much. Previous seasons included an abundance of words which many of us would pause the show to look up because they weren't in common folks vocabularies. I feel this made it interesting and taught us new words that we never heard before but now have become useful in our lives plus it gave a real sense of the elite class of people this show is about and how different they are from the rest of the 99 percenters . What was the problem with enlightening the viewers with 4 or 5 new words that can help us all sound a bit more educated all while being entertained with a captivating series we look forward to watching?

All actors and the writing team are firing on all cylinders here. This is what succession does best: nerve-wracking, rapid-fire conflict>negotiation>partial resolution. As always, Logan is evil but we see a more personal side to him here. To me, the most interesting part of the episode was when he described how he felt about other people. Painting with a broad stroke, you really get an inside view into his psyche, and it's a soliloquy performed to a captive audience. "You're my Pal." I get chills just thinking about that scene. The real scene stealers this episode were Shiv and Tom (honorable mention to Karl. Love whenever that guy pops up). Also wanted to give a shout out to the directing/editing team. So much happens in this episode but it is not exhausting visually, in fact it is quite the opposite. This show is truly a technical masterclass and I am excited to see what happens in this final season.

Succession season four premieres with a demonstration of power. This show has not lost anything of its glory, it is even getting better. The fact, that the showrunner decided to end his show on its own, not forced by superiors, says everything. This show serves as proof, that there are still great shows without stupid political messages, woke ideologies and poor writing. This show's writing is the best I have seen for a long time. The conversations are long and detailed, compare that to Disney Star Wars/Marvel and you eill see what I mean.

This episode was great, because it got me right back into the action and put the hype even higher for the finale! This is how television should be!
