Church and State

Ahh! The vultures are circling. The tension's flaring. The pieces are falling all around. And yet, unlike the usual kendall who folds during times of duress, we see him get stronger. What a beautiful site to see.

It's a culmination that's been brewing from the very beginning, and if we're all honest: how did we not see it from the start? Maybe we did and just didn't know it yet. Regardless, Jeremy Strong continues to push his character to greater heights. If he doesn't win an Emmy for this season, I'll be severely disappointed!

On another note: Kieran never seems to disappoint or surprise for that matter. Grief is certainly an emotion we haven't witnessed from him to this point and it was good to finally see his vulnerable side for a change. And that last scene. Goose bumps!

One more episode left... i hate that i have to let this show go, but it's been an amazing ride and i have no doubt the finale will not disappoint.

From brilliant narrative turns to remarkable theatrical prowess, this episode will leave you speechless. As the stakes soar higher, the writers continue to create extraordinary character and plot moments, featuring characters beyond our main ensemble. This episode serves as a masterclass in subtext, keeping the audience continuously questioning the motives of the Roys and their associates. With family conflict ever at the center, the writers demonstrate the impossibility of separating the professional from the personal, the noble from the despicable, the altruistic from the greedy. The many narrative arcs, which have been so beautifully crafted over the past three seasons, culminate into a dramatic masterpiece.

The 8.9 rating is pretty great, I'd say every episode in season 4 deserves a 9 or higher on IMDb! The 2nd to last episode is based a lot around the memorial of Logan Roy (Brian Cox) probably the biggest memorial I've ever seen and I've been to a couple of them they are hard and exactly like this. This is so poetic, I wish I could hangout with the brilliant crew I'll always praise them. The emotions are the greatest thing I've seen in a long time of television history; Mark Mylod was perfect director for any of the ones he's done! I love anyone that praises this masterful series there's barely any like it.

One of the best episodes of the show. No question about it. This is just a masterclass in television. This episode is full of big scenes, big speeches, and big twists. And everything is executed perfectly. I have not seen many other groups of people at the peak of their powers come together and create something this perfect.

All the Roy kids' performances are unlike nothing seen before. It feels so very real. You can write a thousand words about Snooks's facial expressions, Culkin's very real breakdown, Strong's nuanced performance and so on. The point is that I don't think I have ever seen so many jaw-dropping performances in the same show. And it's not only the Roy kids who put on a masterclass performance. Let's not even begin with the writing, but the writing is what allows all these actors to shine. What a phenomenal show.

In the age of mediocrity, there is always an exceptional human, who makes an exceptional piece of art that drives people to think about it, consider it, and appreciate it, or maybe help in making it if there is any chance for them to be part of that process, and doing it better than their hearts and minds ever imagined. This is the peak of drama, the peak of TV ,and if you can reach that level ,you are one of the very few unmatched creative minds, that create the top art forms.

Church and state felt like it isn't a single episode, felt like it's many in one, there was a lot to take, in a good way of course. Honestly, it's a perfect episode and my favourite one so far.

Finally, this is one of the few great timeless shows that will always be remembered. I am sure of that In few years people will regret not seeing this show on it's time.
