Featured review
A real game-changer for me in a show that was failing to live up to my expectations.
To keep this short & sweet (because I intend to write a review for each episode of Succession following this) I found this episode to be a complete game-changer.
If I had to rate the previous 5 episodes of the show, they would each lie in the ballpark of a 6/10. I hated each and every character on the show, most of them I still do, however the writing and it's overall aesthetic were enough to keep me entertained (plus, that score is to DIE for).
But this episode right here, being arguably the first real 'climax' of the show thus far, has altered my perception. It has made me realise that perhaps this show may indeed be for me.
Cox is, again, phenomenal as Logan Roy. I hate him more and more as each episode passes. The entire sequence within the boardroom, spanning from Kendall's journey across the city to its conclusion, was absolutely remarkable. Pure, unfiltered tension. This is hard to come by, especially in a show that I initially believed I didn't care for all too much. This episode exhibited a supreme level of filmmaking, never before seen, in my opinion, in the show's previous episodes.
Long may it continue. Despite still feeling alienated by such a hyper-successful, wealthy and spoilt selection of characters (seriously, what's to actually like about this family?) I intend to stick to it. I have no doubt that the payoffs will only grow in size and feel as brilliant as this one. Or so I'm hoping.
