This show has been a constant build-up of drama/tension since the beginning of its second season, yet we still lack any form of true resolution to Succession's overarching conflicts.
This episode was marginally better due to its stellar writing (one of the only aspects of this show that truly never dips in quality!) particularly in the scenes featuring the Roy children. It is rare that we see them within a room together without the presence of Logan, which was particularly interesting, perhaps even revelatory, to watch.
We gain insight into where their heads are currently at, their drives + motivations, and a LOT of repressed anger towards each other. Succession consistently pushes the boundaries when it comes to the development of its central characters, peeling them back each layer at a time to reveal who they truly are.
Kendall, in particular, showed a side to himself that frighteningly mirrors another character within the show, and it is testament to the show's writing/Strong's performances that the avid viewer should probably have seen this twist coming. It has been embedded within Kendall and the Roy DNA since the dawn of the company, and it may just be the edge that he requires to win this battle against his father.
Another good episode, one that largely focuses on the Roy children, but massively below the mark I expected going into this season.
