Who is your favourite characters in Succession. I thought this was one of the best shows I have seen in ages, can't wait for new season which will be out soon. Lots of great characters in it. Greg, Tom, Roman. Love to hear your take on it..

@GorgeousLadyofWrestling

The present from Logan to Kendall that Roman got in on - did he just jump on that after Kendall divulged what it was, so that he could pretend he and Logan were in cahoots about the shares?

I rewatched it and when Logan hands the envelope to Roman it's obvious he knows what is in it. And Kendall doesn't properly say what's in it to Shiv, he just says thanks for the offer. Roman then has to explain what that meant

GorgeousLadyofWrestling · 01/12/2021 18:39

Ahhh ok @MargotMoon that makes sense. God Logan is a bastard, isn’t he.

GorgeousLadyofWrestling · 01/12/2021 18:40

Roman must see that he will be out in the cold soon enough, though. And that it will be someone else’s turn in the sun. And so the cycle goes on.

@thisplaceisapigsty they filmed in Italy so I'd imagine Mummy's wedding is coming soon.

I'm honestly watching to see if all the mum.stuff makes Roman completely flip out and how that pans out with Gerri.

MargotMoon · 01/12/2021 18:46

Wedding is next episode!! Then presumably final episode will be the fall out and cliffhanger for fourth (& final?) series....Shock

The wedding to Peter Mannion who has been hanging around for "about 40 years"... oh wait...

@thisplaceisapigsty

That was a brilliant episode, one of the best. I especially love it when the 'sibs' are all together and they are basically just replaying all the arguments they've had since they were children, except that the stakes are higher. It's obviously always suited Logan to have them at each other's throats. Do you think rich people really do have parties like that? It was so disgustingly egotistical that I can believe it, somehow. Do you think they will all go to their mother's wedding next week? It's called Chiantishire, so I'm hoping it's another big family do but this time in Tuscany.
Yes! "You're not allowed in my treehouse" couldn't have been more 8 year-old behaviour!

@idiotfacelicker

Looking at Kendall's pile of birthday presents I was thinking how the hell do you buy a present for someone who has everything they could ever want. I felt for his girlfriend (cant remember her name) and her crap watch effort and his crappy response to it.
Buying a watch was a really rubbish idea. He would have preferred something that cost nothing but meant more
MargotMoon · 01/12/2021 22:22

@JustJustWhy Too obvious, though...? Surely they won't go there!

LiterallyKnowsBest · 02/12/2021 02:18

I wonder if, in a strange way, Kendall might not feel relieved if he found out he’s not Logan Roy’s son. He could stop desperately trying to be - whatever is needed to succeed as a Roy.

Though the money, obvs …

That wasn't good enough for them though, was it? Tom straight away is trying to start an argument with one of the compliment-givers!

@MargotMoon I rewatched it and Roman didn’t know what was in the envelope. He just went ‘yeah right’ but Logan didn’t tell him. Roman was just so excited to be favourite he has no idea.

I thought the way he said "do you think he'll like it?" meant he did know. Guess it's ambiguous though!

TiddleTaddleTat · 03/12/2021 09:34

Anyone else picked up Caroline’s fiance surname Mannion as a reference to the thick of it ?

OrtolanVeil · 03/12/2021 11:29

Yes - I think it's Munion in Succession but it's definitely a TOI reference!

TiddleTaddleTat · 03/12/2021 12:29

Oh yes - munion/onion !! Ha
I’ve just binged series 3 over about a week and can’t wait til Monday for the next one

IntermittentParps · 03/12/2021 13:05

Shiv says 'Who's Peter Onion?' at one point Grin
God, the wedding episode is going to be appalling
I mean, I'm looking forward to it, but you know what I mean...!

@LiterallyKnowsBest you know we're all rushing off to Google now Grin

Roundlampshade · 04/12/2021 15:39

Oh go on @LiterallyKnowsBest, not everyone needs to click on it.

Roundlampshade · 04/12/2021 15:40

I tried Google and couldn’t find it. Ahem cough link cough it isn’t a Covid cough.
