I know this scene is funny and everything but that line at 2:10 is genuinely so haunting when you realize that Connor was all alone in that house for YEARS around all these sketchy men
lawrence fucked him in the no confidence vote and always treated kendall like total shit out of nowhere but not for being a roy (he was friendly with roman). can't help but wonder if lawrence was supposed to have a much more antagonistic storyline that got shafted.
Shiv sacrificed Kendall latern on bcs she felt guilty after Tom confronted her about how dirty she did him in their marriage. She saved him to alleviate some of her guilt. I really like Shiv and Kendall, they play the big moves and are morally shady. Roman and Connor don't play as much ab big part in the plot, Shiv and Kendall want power and actually fight for it.
I was actually surprised by how soft Logan became with Kendall and how quickly he forgave him, given that Kendall tried to betray him twice and Logan was so harsh on him before, like almost unnecessarily harsh. And then he suddenly not only forgave the fuckup so easily but became so encouraging. Because he knew Kendall was depressed?
You spend so much time hating these greedy monsters throughout the seasons, that you actually forget they're also human beings. This scene slaughtered me.
Phenomenal bromance moment. When Tom knew his wife was having an affair during his wedding he just denied it but when it comes to Greg going seperate ways he goes off the rails berserk like he's losing the one true love of his life, lmao ❤🤣
This scene. Jesus. You can literally see Roman's eyes breaking when Logan calls him a moron and he doesn't joke back, crack a smugly smile or even speak, the way he shrinks his arms and talks to Logan says a lot of what he was raised into. Deep down he's a lonely kid starving for attention and this is how he breaks down when reality hits him. His dad's favouritism was the only thing sacred to him.
Great insight by Roman. He was right, this was the best move at the time, and keeping vaulter domain, archive, and profitable parts of the business was a brilliant idea.
Love that moment where Roman is struggling to find a word other than "values", because "values" doesn't quite capture "make as much money as possible no matter how many lives we ruin and no matter how much damage we cause", but can't find one and spits out "values" after the hesitation.
Probably the saddest scene in Succession, in terms of how it directly parallels the final conflict and the final Ken & Shiv fight, which results in the Roy family's fall from Waystar.
