The Munsters

This episode did a great job setting up the stage for the showdown between Logan and his kids, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it all plays out.

It is also interesting to see how Logan functions, now that all his kids have distanced themselves from him. He's now surrounded by just his employees now. Even though he tried hard to project "strength", you can still see that it's affecting him.

Just like in the previous seasons, the actors all did a fantastic job, especially the scene with Shiv at the end of the episode. The cinematography and the music also help portray the mood of the scenes well.

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.

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.

The final season has begun and It delivers already in its first episode! After the shocking, tense and emmotional end of season 3, this was a great way to continue off from that!

We clearly see how the familly is devided more than ever and we get some major things happening already, tying back to the previous seasons! We also get Logand twisted view on the world and people! The final part of the episode gave us something long coming i guess but still made me feel sad due to the actors brilliant performances!

Overall everyone is giving their all and i am very excited too see how it all ends in this season!

Always well written I love the brilliance and charm in Succession! The final season is off to a superb start that deserves the high ratings. Everyone involved is always at the top of their game with great banter between the siblings, the clever conversations, masterful directing, and engaging flow always. It's understandable the series has won numerous awards. I absolutely love Tom he's a lot of fun and everyone on solid terms at least the bulk of them; every business related topic is magnificently robust. Mark Mylod as director is always great I love his recent film The Menu that movie is well written wildly crafty.
