Wasn't my favourite series but it really come together in the final couple of episodes. Great ending.

Spoiler

Wasn't expecting that ending at all but I read somewhere that the trailer poster/image for season 3 shows Logan on one side with Gregg and Tom behind him and the 3 kids on the other. Based on that I will be paying close attention to the season 4 poster.

Can't believe I waited 2 days to watch it. That was incredible.

There were apparently 3 posters released and I don't believe any of them gave the alliances away. The only thing in the trailer was one scene with Logan ranting on with Tom in another room.

I read it in the metro but I guess there is a 4th poster that shows a slightly different configuration. I guess in truth though if they have made that many posters then they are not giving anything away that easily. The article in the metro assumes there was only one poster but it's clear searching the internet there were a few more. Oh well no clues there.

Absolutely loved this season, as much as the others. I’ve got a couple of questions:

Spoiler

1. I’m probably being thick here, are we sure it was Tom who tipped off Logan about the siblings’ plan? They were all phoning people in the car, so is it not possible one of those told Logan? Or even Greg, who Tom told?

2. Speaking of Greg, Tom is gay and in love/lust with him, right? Or have I completely misread the signals?  [/

Tom had told Greg about Nero pushing his wife down the stairs. Nero then castrated a slave called Sporus and married him instead. In the scene when Tom asks if Greg wants to do a deal with the Devil he says Greg will be his Sporus. Tom is saying he's going to 'kill' Shiv. Despite the story I don't think it's a romantic liaison - more of a bromance.

And there's Logan's hand on Tom's shoulder in the doorway - reference to the Godfather

There's nothing I can add that hasn't been said better by others on here but that last episode was pure Shakespeare and confirms it as one of *the* best drama comedies in recent history if not ever.

I have one question which I'm sure can be easily answered here by people much smarter than I:

Spoiler

How did their mother fuck them? What were the details there to give Logan the ability to sell exactly?

Spoiler

Was it not just her share of the company (i.e. Logan buying her out)? Thereby giving Logan the supermajority that the kids were going to deny him? At least that was what I took away

That makes a lot of sense! I should have figured that one out a bit quicker. Thank you.

Fascinating interview with director Mark Mylod in Vulture

On Kendall's breakdown in the street:

I laid a booby trap for Jeremy. We didn’t tell him we were going to have two or three of the kitchen staff come out with trash bags and put them in the bins because I knew that would create a reaction that would hopefully be helpful to him.

Strong didn't know they'd be there, and as the New Yorker profile last week revealed, he's so method-y that it triggered Kendall's breakdown.


You'll all be pleased to know that Brian Cox is a mensch.

Been avoiding this thread until I had binged season 3 - nice to see it has grown, there was only 1 page when I had finished season 2 and I was late to it.

This is up there with The Wire and Sopranos for me...so good.

Just caught up on this show. Relatively fine first half of the season but boy did it finish well. The quality was just upped spectacularly. It definitely helps when they go to exotic locations out of NYC in my opinion. The best scenes are always abroad.

Succession S3 but it's ordering Domino's.

The best moment when they were abroad.

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

Probably the best show i ever watched. Really entertaining, funny and quite intense. Can't wait for the new season.

[Brian Blessed]

HBO are releasing the latest episode of The Last Of Us two days early to avoid that Super Bowl nonsense. If they have any balls they’ll release all of Succession season 4 at the time that “game” starts.

But they won’t.

The cowardly fucking c*nts.

[SvenJohansen]

I'm tempted to re-watch seasons 1-3 again before season 4 starts.

[Brian Blessed]

I’m doing that now, up to season 2 ep 4. Boar on the floor is still incredible on second watch. Well, the whole thing is.

[BarryCrocker]

Upcoming season has been announced as the final one. There's going to be so much destruction it's not going to be funny,

Good, I think - only so long this story can go on and still be so interesting.

Although Jesse Armstrong has said he could imagine revisiting the characters down the line.

[Indomitable_Carp]

Yep, much better for a programme to go out on a high. Can't wait.

[GreatEx]

Agreed, I felt like the end of s3 strongly hinted at a final showdown; if it turned out to be a tease, an endless cycle of winning and losing, it'd lose its impact.

[ShrewKop]

We’re going to do the same. Wet the whistle for season 4. Can not wait!

[RedSince86]

Last one, damn.

Seems to be HBO's modus operandi the last ten years since The Sopranos ended, They really don't like doing long running shows with GoT being the exception.

Should be a stellar season with an explosive closure.

[Phineus]

Good it gets to end for creative reasons rather than commercial.

Actually disagree with the above comment though, GOT was perfect for another 1-2 seasons, they rushed ending it.

Agree, because of the scope of the story Game of Thrones really could have gone on even longer. In the end it was just rushed.

Succession is much tighter in every regard. Good decision to end on a high.

Hope it's not rushed to a conclusion.

I finished my rewatch. I think Kendall’s birthday is the standout episode of standout episodes.

I think they’ll stick the landing. I just hope that weasel Greg doesn’t end up running the firm.

[Barefoot Doctor]

Shit this looks good.

27th March I think on Atlantic.

We’ve just started our rewatch tonight! We’ll get it binge watched in time for the 26th. I can’t see them writing Greg into running the firm. It’s gotta be too well written for that. That’d on par with GOT landing Bran as the king at the end. Although, who knows. Maybe he’s the real Tomlette!
