SUCCESSION REACTION & REVIEW - 4x3 "Connor's Wedding"

someone on twitter pointed out that if he had gone to connor’s wedding he could’ve died surrounded by his family, the people who—for better or worse—actually do love him. instead he died on the toilet, alone. anyway, such an incredibly well-written and well-acted episode. the variety in the expressions of grief felt so real. kudos to everyone in the episode, hope this goes in their emmy reels

Kendall refused to forgive him. Roman went into denial. Shiv hoped it was her mother. Connor outright admitted he knew his dad didn’t like him. All their responses to Logan dying fit so perfectly with their characters. Well done. A brilliant episode of television.

L to the O G... R to the I P.

“he’s heavily delayed” KARL PLSSS 😭

Cake being a trigger for Connor is the saddest/funniest thing Logan did to any of his kids...

Wild that the last thing Kendall and Shiv heard Logan say to them was “I love you… but you’re not serious fucking people”

That hug between the siblings in my opinion THE SINGLE MOST ICONIC MOMENT in all Succession series.

Every time shiv cried I cried with her. Sarah Snook was insane this episode

that shot of the bodyguard on the tarmac when he realized logan is dead...

The way they portrayed his death was so raw and so real, it hurt so bad to watch this but holy shit everybody on this show deserves all of the accolades for this episode. Editing to add that when my mom passed, I reacted exactly how Roman did. I could not believe it and would not believe it. They portrayed the way people grieve differently so beautifully.

I still can process how he's gone , like can't cope with the fact that he just won't exist in the show anymore

Ken saying all of that sentiment, then to say "I can't forgive you" was heart wrenching. Even in death, his abuse still lives on in his children and it's just so tragic. But also, for a man as horrible and abusive as he was, and a also as powerful as he was, dying on alone on the toilet of a plane was so fitting. Thank you Brian Cox

I had a parent who was oddly similar to Logan, I could tell towards the end she tried to say sorry, like Logan, but neither quite could, as it was irreparable. When she died.. well, the show did a great job of it. Like some of the kids said, “there’s no excuse, but I love you”

The show is called Succession. Yeah, Logan is def a central character but ultimately the kids are the main chapters because the whole point is about…SUCCESSION. What happens after.

One of the most shocking episodes of TV I've seen, the way he dies so unexpectedly out of the blue is exactly how it feels in real life when someone near you dies. That mix of shock and denial before you truly realize it's real.. Insanely well acted and written, they nailed the way it feels losing family. I just didn't see it coming at all, did anyone actually think he would die? He's a bastard but I'm gonna miss his presence-

I forget his name, but the scene where you say poor Kerry is so sad for his male assistant. They had the entire conversation saying he was Logan’s best friend. Great scene

incredible episode of TV. They did something very powerful in capturing how a death in the family feels in the real world. No death scene, no final parting convo, he's just... gone. And you have to struggle to process and accept it and figure out where to go from there.

Interestingly, Roman was the only sibling to not bring up their grudge against Logan in his final minutes on Earth. Also, since Roman has always been the quick-quip sibling, he literally struggles to come up with the correct words to say, probably because he's so used to using humor as a vice, and now is the one time he has to be 100% serious....he had to step up to the plate, and wasn't ready. This show is masterful at characterization.

This entire episode was a master class in acting by the entire cast

I think Kendall´s handled it better for multiple reasons: 1. He kinda already had to navigate a similar situation at s01. 2. He is probably the one that the word "estranged" actually was not far away. Realistically Logan and Kendall had alsmot no contact since s02 ending. 3. And for me the main one - Kendall was the one always the most berated for showing positive emotions towards his father. As you mentioned from episode 1, he was basically punished for picking his dad over business. Repeated punishments for certain behaviour will make you less likely to repeat the behavior. He was trained to focus on business in emergency situations. I think at this point I d rather be scared for him once emergency dies down, coz I think he is the type of a griever who prefers to be busy, and pushes his issues away till they blow up (just like end of s03 his breakdown over killing the kid). I dont think he knows how to emotionally process stuff, and as a result...he doesnt. Thats why we often see him be controlled by his emotions once he is "winning" coz there is no emergency, nothing to really focus on coz its no longer life/death ..and that is when his issues creep up on him. But that is just my read on Kendall, which could be totally wrong.
