For once in awhile I had incredible sleep and I can vibe so well with how masterfully this all is! Adam Godley is great, I always think of him as Elliott Schwartz from Breaking Bad that was magnificent. America Decides is focused on an election and a few silly shenanigans which is all hilarious and brilliant. This is like a more fun version of American politics, maybe it's my autism or just cause I crave the cast I'd totally vote for anyone involved in Succession. Shiv, Tom, Kendall and Roman Shine very well they all deserve an Emmy. Enthralling all around, I want my reviews to be more known by thousands I hope my thoughts are appreciated!
This episode was chaotic! It was a certain intense build-up towards that insane climax!! Its been a while since I have felt like this! My body feels uneased and I am sweating! My heart is beating faster and my breath is effected! I guess thats how anxiety feels like! What an absolute insane episode!
Very few episodes can manage to do intensity so well! To create a feeling of absolut uncertainty but you know something is gonna go down is just a matter of HOW! It reminded me of "Decloration of war" from Attack on Titan!
The episode is riddled with powerfull performances! Sarah Snook was incredible as Shiv who perfectly captures someone who finde everything crumbling around her! Amazing scene yet again with her and Tom!
Now there are just 2 episodes left of this masterpiece! Honestly one of the best seasons of show i have seen in a long time!

Greetings from Lithuania.
Politics aside, i enjoyed this episode for superb writing, acting and directing. I'm not really into whole politics and election of USA president thing because i live at other side of the world, but it was very interesting to see this process going from a side one usually does not see. I would like if i say that totally understood whole aspects of this process, yet this episode was superb in its depiction of event and i liked the acting especially here. All of the main actors were superb.
Overall, with only two episodes left i have no clue were this is going, but i have no doubt they will stick the landing.

Just as written above. A great episode that feels a little too relevant at the moment...
The episode is hilariously and ironically called "America Decides" even though the election result is pretty much decided by like 5 people.
I remember feeling depressed by the episode's outcome the first time I watched it, and watching it again even more so, now that Mencken's real world counterpart has come to power. Hopefully the outcome won't be as detrimental as the one seen in the show... hopefully
I don't really have that much more to say but I apparently need to fill out the required number of characters ermm, sooo... the performances were amazing.

Brilliabt episode proved to be a rollercoaster ride of emotions, with equal parts of terror and hilarity. The election, which has been puttering along in the background for a while, is finally happening. And ATN holds all the power. Roman on the dark side, Shiv on the light, Kendall in the middle, and Connor on his own side (elections are more interesting when you're in it!).
The writing of the episode is outstanding, with sharp and biting dialogue that captures the complex personalities of the characters. The tension and drama between the Roy family members make for compelling television, with unexpected twists and turns that keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
The ensemble acting performance in "America Decides" is also phenomenal, with each actor delivering nuanced and layered portrayals of their respective characters.
However, the real standout of the episode is the hilarious moments sprinkled throughout the heavy drama. Greg and Tom scenes are brilliant as always.
"America Decides" continues the streak of brilliant episodes in Succession's last season. The writing is sharp, the acting is superb, and the mix of drama and humor is just right. It's a testament to the show's ability to make its audience simultaneously root for and despise its characters.
