Featured reviews
This is essentially the "bachelor party" episode, with most of the best and most memorable moments of the hour revolving around Tom's messy and uncomfortable bachelor party. Kendall and Roman both use it as an opportunity to further themselves, clashing while everyone else along for the ride gets messy in their own ways.
Connor, as usual, kind of gets overlooked and given the fewest opportunities to shine (him taking MDMA should be funnier than what it is here), but that's a nitpick. Shiv continues to become more interesting and is given more to do; if there's a main flaw of the first season, it's that it took a while to find interesting things for her to do as a character, but I like how the last few episodes of the season bring her into the fold more.

Episode 8: Starting to get repetitive with different thought out scenarios, bachelor party, feud, doom, carelessness, unrealistic psychological and physical situations for many, especially the newly arrived and already starting to drag subtly.
The characterisation is great, but they are invariably mean spirited, self obssessed and a bit dim. And after eight episodes, it begins to wear a little thin.
The character of Kendall has the most piercing look I've seen. Whether he is euphoric or angry, he always looks the same. In this episode we have the bachelor party. The brothers and their associates are there, engaging in different levels of debauchery. Well most anyway. Tom is giddy throughout because this kind of third circle of hell stuff is amazing to him. But ultimately, it gets down to another effort to take the old guy down. He and Shiv have had a serious confrontation. She is off with the political agent and is betraying her fiancee. But the rise of the former schmuck and his alliances is what this is all about.
Greetings from Lithuania.
7 and 8 episodes of "Succession" were both a hit and miss. There are positives and some negatives. The negatives are is that this show is starting to go in circles with its story. The positives are writing, acting and main story. What is also a very unique thing about the show is that it basically does not have a character i can relate to and they are all, every single one of them a bad people in a sort. But still i do watch it because i think that is the point of the series in some sort - you don't have to like characters to get involved into their stories. I'll continue to watch it.
