This episode of the series felt a bit like waiting for a circus to enter town. Contradictory feelings are felt towards all characters, with beautiful direction, a complex script and more than marvellous writing that reminds a bit of the Mad Men series.
The second season episode began with the carpet being pulled and Logan reading to his grandson, Judith KerR Moog. The last book where Mog dies. Last week we left Kendall lying face down in a pool, drunk, high and depressed. (Drowned? At a wedding? Succession authors love a bit of dramatic irony). "Your dad was fine, you know?" said Logan. miss. The life of a best player in a row.
But what now? Are we really concerned about a potential Waystar-Unicorn merger? Theft crime with the Ministry of Justice? But it's never about work. It's always about love and family (or to be more precise). The great skill of her successor is that she can work in a corner.
How painful it is to see the father fall, the moment the son realizes that there is nothing more important than the familial love embodied in the father. He was always known as Connor (Alan Gerke), that stupid half-brother. Kendall [Jeremy Strong] has been doing this for a while now, and we saw the boss [Sarah Snook] slip out her eyes at one point in the second series. But like a scolded puppy, the younger of them clung to his father's velvet robe and did not let go of the belief that his father loved him.
As for the brothers, they were put one by one in the rubbish bins, and the staff came and went with black garbage bags - supposedly half eaten. This is the inevitable tragedy of Roy's children. Billionaires who were born with the world at their feet but always look into the trash cans, always look at the employees. They can never simply enjoy their riches. All they have in their lives is Wayne Royko, and they are doomed when they allow Abi to sell it between them. "How do we feel when we kill my father?" asked Schiff as the trio orchestrated the coup. 'mixed feelings? Culkin has been playing third fiddle all along, first as Snook and then the mighty with glossy magazine profiles, accolades, and tons of hype. It was - sly, sexually bizarre, useless - the comic relief viewers rejoiced in his twisted relationship with 60-year-old CEO Jerry.
The series knows a lot about the human heart, mind, and soul and wraps it all up in a story that could otherwise be the epitome of high-stakes Monopoly games. Instead, he balances on a knife's edge between flatulence and wildness that only holds sway through his subtle understanding that we are all damaged apes at heart, seeking every comfort we can get.
