I'm loving the little grins and smirks at the end of every episode recently! Kendall, Shiv and now back to Kendall! I could tell he was proud he was of how how he did - I thought he'd crumble! Were you surprised with how Kendall's presentation went? Comment your thoughts below! 🗣

[@GinaMaher_]

yeah I've fully underestimated kendal since his breakdown, but this episode was very satisfying. also super sad that like yeah he got his shit together and killed it with the presentation in a very uniquely kendal way too like he has that sincerity that plays well, but he's alone at the end. that whole co-pilot scene was just heartbreaking, especially after the vending machine scene where it looked like kendal could tell rom was spiraling a little but still supported him - like it could have been an ok idea to fire a bunch of old people, but the way kendal handled it seemed like he was telling rom they in it together and really the whole time he's been including him cause he wants to bring him along.

[@tommysmith7031]

I think this could be Kendall, in particular, Icarus moment. The cloud, referenced in the episode, could be suggesting that Kendall's head is in cloud nine and his feet (or mind) isn't on the ground. As evidenced by the Vaulter deal, Kendall's business judgement can be suspect. Jerry, in a previous season, told Roman to tattoo on his head "How does this serve my interest?". Roman acts in the opposite and let his emotions overwhelm him. I feel the brothers will blow up the deal and the stock will tank. Logan has said they are not serious people and are bloody useless. This will be the tragedy of Succession.

[@s.h.7613]

Very surprised! I kept waiting for him to blow it. Nice change. Ken Wins!

[@RettyBoop]

Yes. It was no L to the O-G and I’m grateful lol.

[@obaone]

We haven’t seen a Roman smirk post Logan so I think he’s next to win and Tom/Greg too along with the old guard will get their moments and they all lose at the end.

[@sadie513]

Kendall won in this episode which means he will lose big time in the next ones. Roman will definitely self destruct. Shiv and Tom being honest with each other for a moment makes them an almost healthy pair. Karl standing up for himself was great.

[@BrainPilot]

Some great points!

[@GinaMaher_]

I love that karl stood up for himself, but then he totally went back to ass kissing after the presentation so that makes me think he might be out cause he doesn't really have a spine and that's very old guard vibes vs kendal is loyal. agreed about shiv and tom - they are complicated! but somewhat healthy. I think roman will figure himself out and grovel back like he's been looking for love and approval and he gets that with his bro so when he realises he'll prob be back. I dunno I think kendal might be ok and also there's only a few more episodes left so i'm not sure theres enough time for too many twists - I could be wrong though.

[@sadie513]

@@GinaMaher_ Of course Karl applauded Kendall after the presentation, all of them did, despite cringing while watching. But when he finds out Kendall is doing all that pizzazz to drive up the price and scare off Matsson so he can keep Waystar for himself, oh he will lose it. Gerri already has a gut feel. Eventually, they'll all get caught up.

[@GinaMaher_]

@@sadie513 I think Gerri does know now which means they probably all know or have an idea, so it will be interesting to see if they wait things out or pull strings behind the scenes. I think we've all been watching the siblings squabble that we've sort of dismissed them but maybe thats where the real drama will come from. I don't think karl will fuck things up unless his buy out is threatened.

[@chimchimgirlz]

Right. This video just skipped over all the lies, illegal practices, and chaos Roman and Kendall brought this episode/season. Probably due to creator’s bias lol. I don’t think anyone is going to fall for the daddy’s little boys act, especially if they cannot deliver. Kendall is not good with follow through, he is a great speaker though. So it is good to see him finally get this moment, with the CGI-dad approval. Roman is self imploding. And they are icing out Shiv who is the only one who sees projects to completion. And she’s now working with the enemy. This might end like a Greek tragedy.

Same here - totally shocked me!

[@Sponhexagonal]

Kendall has always had it in him. Like when he publicly defended his father in Court; you could’ve sworn HE was the CEO of the company at that moment. The problem is that he’s always pink clouding it. Mania-to-grief and back to mania again - that is his process. That’s the only command his operating system knows. When it works, it’s no happy accident. But when it doesn’t…

loving shiv and tom - their whole money conversation had a willa connor wedding convo vibe where it was honest that it was complicated but there's still feelings and bitey was cute. their insults are uncomfortable though like really?? also greg is stepping up! - always funny this dude.

[@RenegadeShepard69]

Agree with the Connors wedding parallels and love to see Tom's morals better addressed and at play in the relationship. I also love how Greg is so slowly crawling up in the company. With 4 episodes left I can't see him ever being more than a comic relief guy who thinks he'll get somewhere by being sneaky for the rest of his life, which to me would be his perfect ending. But we'll see.

[@GinaMaher_]

@@RenegadeShepard69 yeah agreed, I don't see that much growth or action for greg at this stage, but he's still near the top so he kind of did the best he could. I mean there could still be a massive twist but that might be sort of tacky too close to the end.

Living+ is such a great move by kendall. With the inflated numbers it makes it harder for mattson to buy. Plus if he buys, it makes it almost impossible to sell Living+ afterwards cause it would make waystar look bad to throw out old people of their retirement homes. Great episode.

[@BrainPilot]

Great move!

It's not inflated numbers, it's just a projection, Ken is selling the ish out of living+ to the point that the stock price goes past that 192 Lukas was going to pay. Man found a potential gold mine for the company it's.

[@MaMvidS45]

This episode felt so good, the insane buildup of cringe but Kendall saved the speech with such elation meanwhile Tom and Shiv rekindling. So fire.

[@lobsterdfw1]

I fear for Kendall, my boy. The higher he gets the worst the fall is going to be.

[@elchos2004]

Loved it. The way Kenny performs at the end, overcoming his insecurity into delivering more than everyone was hoping from him was wonderful. An underdog move that resonates with many people in positions where people expect less from them.

[@GinaMaher_]

kendall's cloud thing - I think he's actually creative like he's sensitive and appreciates art and has always wanted to make something so like initially you're looking at his whole build a house, have clouds, etc... thing as like duuuuude, that's so stupid and we're all expecting him to fail, but really thats a part of the creative process - the first idea is usually dumb, so the fact that he was able to scale it back and come up with something that still had a good idea that even his dad didn't see - the "live forever" angle that these old people would have the health and tech benefits of rich people and then drive it home with emotion, I'm actually team kendall right now and I think it makes an almost ironic ending for him to end up in charge like he was suppose to be in the first episode - so sort of like all that hurt could have been avoided or he needed the adversity to grow.

​@@tonybalony1811 so you're telling me I'm not the only person to relate to Kendall

[@nesspresso]

I think Karl really created a shift in him... it smacked Kendall in the face back to reality.

[@mtm841]

I found it interesting that both Roy brothers, Kendall and Roman, received reality checks from Royco heavyweights. However, only Kendall realized that he couldn't boss people around because he is not his father. The readjustment of his presentation after his convo with Karl made him the winner of the episode. While Roman firing people, because they questioned the "wisdom" of his decisions, is just proof of what his father said about him (and his brother and sister), he's not a serious person. This makes me think that Logan's successor will be the one to stop acting like a bad caricature of him.

[@MrVisde]

Roman has always been a weasel, but he was peak weasel on a powertrip this episode. Gerri calling him a little monarch was spot on 😆

[@RenegadeShepard69]

Great observation. I like how Kendall supporting Roman self destructinh has that snark and competition behind it. Like, sure when Rome messes up it's the rebel Brothers, but really it's only in Roman's lap to get the bad consequences of his tantrums. I feel like Roman will still figure out how Ken is using him to do the dirty work but then it'll be a test too big for Roman to finally try to be a killer with so few eps left.

[@lxuaes6915]

I agree with it all, but I don't think Kendall "readjusted" after the convo with Karl... I honestly think it was sort of a call back to the pilot, where Logan tells Kendall, "sometimes it is a big d* competition". Karl even refers to there "members" in the interaction. Kendall held his ground and didn't waver, and earned Karl's respect for it in the end.

[@lynnlawson4471]

@@lxuaes6915 I agree. It is all about power but more importantly, knowing how to wield it. Roman is abusing his power in the short term, blowing everything up and revealing his insecurities. This method is not sustainable for obvious reasons. Kendall - in fairness- has much more experience than Roman. In the very first episode of season 1, Roman wasn’t even working for the company, was he? We never got the real background on how Kendall ended up on magazine covers & the “heir apparent” but it was clear that when Logan tricked Kendall into signing the trust agreement, and when he glanced at that magazine cover of Kendall with contempt, he was changing his mind about stepping aside, which, of course, implies that Kendall had been told that he would be taking over. This expectation was confirmed in the episode when Ken broke down in Italy (and Conner blew up reminding the others that HE was the eldest son, NOT Kendall). Ultimately, the “piece of paper” found in Logan’s safe, following his death, this also appears to confirm that Logan had named Kendall as his successor (and possibly changed his mind). Roman was often passed over as sort of “a joke” - like, “seriously?” It was only after Kendall became adversarial toward his father that Logan began cozying up to Roman, causing Roman to possibly believe he was better than he really is. Roman definitely provided his father with comedic relief and Logan enjoyed having Roman around, but Logan was a selfish bastard. He enjoyed having Carrie around as well and look how that turned out. Logan was a master manipulator who knew what to say to each of his children to cause them to remain loyal to him. Kendall appears to have learned that trick in seizing the power in that moment & outsmarting Karl. Kendall’s evolution has been fascinating to watch. Roman is spiraling out of control while Shiv is keeping all of her options open.

[@globalmovement5141]

Winners: Kendall, Old Guard for setting the kids straight, Tom and Shiv’s chemistry Losers: Roman, Joy, the overworked stage and sound production staff

[@thomaswschaller]

I found Roman's storyline in this episode really fascinating. He's pushing - past his grief, past his dependence on Gerri, past his father and siblings. He is flailing and making mistakes. but trying to become an adult and find his own voice and footing. I don't see where he will land. But under it all, he heart that eludes the others. I hope he does not abandon it as well.

[@esteban8681]

I do like that Kendall is being supportive of his actions though. Like the way he spoke to Matson last week and his firings of Joy and Gerri this week. He's basically letting him he can be confident in his decisions. Their father would make wild changes all the time and it worked out because he was confident on what he wanted. Hopefully Roman learns to do that

[@ceciliaSF-TX]

@@esteban8681 But was it Kendall who sent Roman the video of Logan belittling Roman? If so, that was truly mean. And both of them kept rewatching the videos of their dad belittling them. That is just sad, like they miss their dad’s meanness. Total dysfunction.

[@victtayl]

@@ceciliaSF-TX Although it had been amusingly edited so he was saying something silly rather than real life meanness. But, yes, they are missing their dad's meanness. Tom was missing Shiv's meanness too. The cycle of abuse.

[@widowswail888]

Yes! I’m glad someone says it. His whole life has been him not being confident in himself thus needing other people to tell him what to do (in business or even sexual life). Even if his choices so far are seen to be mistakes - Roman needed to take those steps to find his own path. Kendall did it in previous seasons and that might be why he seems to be “succeeding” right now. But Roman’s journey has just begun.

You are missing a big part of why Roman listened to that recording over and over at the end. He was disappointed in himself for not having the "balls" to get on stage with Kendall (and letting Shiv get him to make the wrong decision)...and it was an act of him punishing himself so he could (hopefully) learn this lesson and not make similar mistakes again in the future. It would also be remiss not to point out the pattern of masochism that Roman has exhibited throughout the series.

Kendall doing the dead man's float in the water as he finally does something right and gains support in Waystar. I think Kendall is a dead man walking, whether it be in the CEO sense, actually dying or going to jail for killing the waiter. The other shoe will drop for Kendall.

[@Sponhexagonal]

I interpreted it in a slightly different way. While it is a moment of actualization and clarity, and will likely carry meaning moving forward in - I think that scene might just stand on its own. It spells less cosmic stars aligning and more plain ol’ relief to me, more than anything. Kendall is an incredibly sensitive person, a people pleaser, and, to his credit, is at least opaquely aware of his own shortcomings. He treads mania, addiction, and grief in almost every episode - and now you throw the burden of his late fathers empire into the mix. He’s gonna do what he always does - chase the sun and duck back into the fray when it gets too bright for him; that’s his process. Maybe on this occasion he gets an extra moment to bask in the glow, but he ultimately just wants relief from how he is feeling all the time. He just wants some cool water.

[@hasbulla2012]

His speech was so good from the viewers perspective. Every line Kendall said tipped the scale from whether he was going to choke or succeed.

[@xceptionl1]

Solid review. First recap that makes mention of the fact that it was Ken who sent Roman the video, as a sibling joke and possibly a passive swipe for his flakiness and betrayal. It hammered home that Roman screwed himself by not taking the stage, forfeiting his position as CEO in the public's eye, and further erroding his already dubios perception from others. I think Shiv felt partly responsible, she noticed everyone anointing Ken and seemed concerned as she watched Roman storm off - that and she realizes Ken has set himself up as the front runner.

I really liked the symbolism of the ending scene. Kendall bravely dives into the ocean and floats on top, facing upwards, which I think is a reference to the two times he almost died in bodies of water. It shows us that this time he's finally won. However, there is something unsettling about this scene, I can't quite put my finger on it though. Maybe it's foreshadowing...?

I am in the minority on Ep 6. The Matson storyline for me is becoming a serious snooze fest. I didn't find the episode intense. I didn't even enjoy the attempt at a slow burn. We get Roman and Kendal's efforts to sabotage the acquisition without legal exposure and that yes, Shiv's working an angle. But, for me there's too much dragging. It would be nice if Greg becomes part of the show again in a meaningful way instead of as an extra. I hope things will pick up next episode. This Season started off so great and for me it completely plateaued.

[@ethanstechworld207]

Good summary. Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I have so many questions about the show, not just about this episode. For example: Why do the three children never really know what they want? Or even what they feel? Why can none of them say a complete sentence in conversation? (Is it because they neve have a clear thought to express?) Why do they (particularly Roman) swear so much? Why is it Roman's *only* form of communication?

*Shiv will definitely betray lucas for his brother’s, after all she’s a roy*

[@BrainPilot]

True true - she's on the verge!

[@sutenTaHotep]

This episode was a real nail biter. It was such a sigh of relief when Ken ended his speech successfully and came out on top. Unfortunately I think this will send Shiv and Roman into full battle mode as they seek to discredit him. Fingers crossed those numbers remain sound.

[@BrainPilot]

That will definitely be interesting!

[@sutenTaHotep]

One other thing, I hated is how so many tried Rome and Ken in this episode and challenged their position. Yet ALOT can be said of how the pair handled things individually. Karl especially has a lot to learn about Ken’s stealth mode but pay backs coming 😂😅

[@IceColdMoet]

Anyone know the ending song with Kendall in the sea? Absolute beauty but impossible to find

[@Aswinishere]

I was afraid Shiv was crying because she got bad news about her pregnancy

[@monilaninetynine3811]

Me too

[@AGS-8785-D1R]

Not sure if was pointed out or obvious or whatever, but the whole stage with a brick house and clouds was all a play to get Roman off the stage, yeah? Ken was never going to actually go through with that. He played on everyone's expectations that he was gonna crumble and used it, perfectly, to his advantage to be the only one on stage. Then the edited video clip Ken sends to Roman was also a power move. Ken did what Logan did his entire life: Not only do you have to show power, confidence, and competence, but you need to make everyone around you feel so weak that they couldn't possibly ever challenge or want to be betray you.

[@eventfulsounds6641]

I agreed with everything except Romans portion, from season 1 we’ve been given ideas that Roman loves to feel humiliated (Scenes with Gerri) I feel he was repeatedly playing Logan’s message for a sense of confidence, I think we will see Roman live up to challenges in the next episode

[@irulan8854]

If Kendall dies, I die

[@flygod.]

Did Kendall Win I CAN'T TELL

[@harshithpabboju]

he did.

[@sameemukadam3346]

Can anyone help with the background score that starts after Kendall's speech

[@pamelamccall5653]

Roman’s ad libs drive me CRAZY! I want to slap him and say, “God, will you say what you mean? Something of substance?” He just rambles back and forth.😖

[@jaywit8386]

He definitely does but at the same time his quips are top tier

[@an-qo6by]

In a cast interview for this season, hearing the actor who plays greg say that people may not be happy with the ending- like a got situation- made me think that none of the siblings will take over. It'll probably be Tom just watch. But then people keep saying how it would be badly written if none of the siblings end up taking over. I jus dont know with this show

[@hristopopov7345]

Whats up with connor, doesnt he deserve anything as the first born kid? I feel like the fact that we didnt see him at all this episode, and barely saw him in ep 5 tells us he will reappear more significantly in the next

[@FemaleCollegeStudent]

Connor is not in this episode, I wonder how his campaign is going?

[@MrVisde]

He’s decorating the penthouse.

[@annkey4091]

When's the funeral?

[@tammyyaniro5455]

This was my favorite episode of the season so far. I don't know why, but for some reason I want to see Kendall succeed and I'd love to see all of the old guard get fired :)

[@GinaMaher_]

think mattison was a bit out of character this episode though, but that's prob cause they're building him up as the villain so we'll all be happy when he fails.

[@TheCoolestJose]

I mean the guy sends people his blood so he’s capable of anything

[@HaiLeQuang]

What a masterfully done season. Even without the most iconic character, I see no dip in form of the show. Great work again by HBO. Take my money so I could stay away from cheap, pityful Netflix

[@user-bh2fz5sf5e]

Kendal definitely went with his back up plan. He definitely didn't do anything that was written down or that everyone else had seen. 😂 Thank god. If his plan was to what he ended up doing no one would have been doubting him.

[@BrainPilot]

Yeah he ended up doing a good job!

[@Nymphadora1611]

Kendall is definitely winner of this episode... I did not expect that at all... I wonder what's gonna happen next... Also.. I see lots of people in comments like Shiv and Tom together but I think their relationship is very toxic and they are not good for each other

[@johnricercato740]

Is Succession essentially a narrative of Kendall’s redemption, as many are suggesting? I doubt it: Jesse Armstrong and most of the writers are Europeans and heavily into tragic realism. There will be some happy endings, perhaps, but I doubt Kendall’s will be one of them. He is a classic character: many strengths, but undone by fatal flaws.

[@Cal2929]

We're all expecting Ken to self distruct but it looks like it will be Roman's delayed grief that will consume him..

[@BrainPilot]

True - Kendall surprised me a lot in the most recent episode!

[@911NicoleTCO]

Will Shiv ever tell Tom that she's pregnant?? It's driving me crazy!

[@BrainPilot]

I feel like she will!

[@avilaomar10]

The whole show the kids complain about how her Logan is running the show and at the end the only guidance they have us to do with Logan would’ve done epic

[@angelcitystudio]

Roman is losing his mind.... He cant keep his shit together without his daddy.

[@user-jv2tw1no8x]

Shiv could be the eventual winner or it looks like this. All 3 siblings playing one another. Kendall at the end was exactly like Kendall in Episode 8 of season 3.

[@BrainPilot]

Very true!

[@Jules-oo4rr]

Funny gerri has been fired twice now and she's still there putting in her 2 cents??

[@BrainPilot]

Loool - they will never get rid of her haha

[@PureSparkles22]

Tom and shiv 🥹🥹

[@RettyBoop]

It’s ridiculous the way this show can build tension with seemingly nothing happened. Anxiety inducing.

[@BrainPilot]

It’s very clever!

[@fergie42069]

Roman and Gerri could've had it all if he could just pull his head out of his own ass but he ruined everything

[@brownstuff1899]

Kendall was basically Johnson in this episode. The amount of nonsense 'business' speak coming out of his mouth was immense. Anyone who's seen Peep Show, know what I'm talking about

[@BrainPilot]

I never thought i'd see Peep Show and Succession draw similarities, but I totally get that!

[@amandaburr7330]

watch out for Greg lol you'll see lol

[@MisquotedonMovies]

Is this voiced by AI?
