Connor's Wedding

I don't even know where to begin. This episode was a masterfully crafted gut punch of conflicting emotions, ranging from celebration to sorrow and everything in between. The entire cast, specifically Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, Kieran Culkin, Matthew Macfadyen and especially Alan Ruck deserve every award under the sun for this absolute masterclass in acting. Mark Mylod as usual directs to perfection, Nicholas Brittell as usual knocks the score out of the park, and most importantly Jesse Armstrong, as usual, deserves the highest praise possible for his brilliant, poignant, and emotionally riveting storytelling. This is perhaps the best episode of the best show to air since The Sopranos, and there are still seven episodes to go.

Simply put, this episode is a masterpiece.

Just another Succession Wedding, with cake, champagne and canapes. Something happens that effects the stock price of Waystar. There's the usual amount of confusion, drama and difficulties communicating.

Once again with Succession, we have an episode where 90% of the scenes are just people talking. The inciting incident happens off camera, and the confusion and mounting tension in this episode is expressed entirely through dialog.

And it's exquisite. It was the best episode thus far, in a show that has consistently been excellent.

The acting is absolutely remarkable, with impeccable performances from the entire cast. Every single person on screen is pitch perfect; and the ensemble elevates one another.

Rarely has a single television episode drawn such universal acclaim. Never before has that adoration been more on the money.

I'm still reeling from that, more than 24 hours later. What else is there to say? If this episode doesn't absolutely sweep at the Emmy's, then there's more politics among voters than the Roy siblings themselves.

In all seriousness - this show is an absolute blessing & I'm as nervous & excited for the rest of this final season as I would be a major exam.

Acting - perfect.

Direction - perfect.

Writing - BEYOND Perfect.

Succession is The Beatles of TV and Jesse Armstrong is it's McCartney. The only thing taking the edge off my misery at seeing my favourite show of the century so far coming to an end, is feverish anticipation at what Armstrong has for us next.

Genius.

Now I can say with confidence that it's the best hour of television to air in 2023 so far and one of the best ever .

It's the definition of a masterpiece .

Brilliantly written by Jesse Armstrong and wonderfully directed by Mark Mylod who deserves all the praise he'll get as this episode should secure him an Emmy as that nearly 30 minutes long take was a work of art.

Every cast member was on the top of his game especially Kieran Culkin and Sarah Snook.

The way this is going , Succession will be remembered as the greatest show ever by the time we get the finale.

This show is reinventing television .

I won't spoil it for you , I hope you enjoy .

A masterpiece. I'm still shaken & processing what I've just seen 24 hours after watching it & I'm going to have to watch it again to fully take it all in. It was THAT good, and that 27 minute single take scene! How? I mean, just how? I'm gobsmacked.

Phenomenal acting, the best writing, and superb directing to get those performances from the entire cast. Kudos to Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook & Keiran Culkin as they give lifetime best & award winning performances but let's not forget that every single supporting character in this episode was superb. I don't think this hour of television will ever be bettered.
