I actually thought Shiv did what she did for her baby! She obviously isnt neeaaaaarly at a point where she would admit to any sentamentals, but Tom is the father of her child. I think over everything she really wants to be a better mother than her own.
Nice analysis! I disagree with the conclusion that no-one won. I think Matsson did reap a ton of benefits from the ending, did not he?
Thank-you for synopsizing everyone else’s video analysis that can be found on-line. You’ve added some insight but very little
No one won!
Haha how cute, nah Ima tell you the truth about its ending and why it ended. WB has a new boss now and they're ending all projects from the old WB. Disney pulled the same BS LucasArts and Marvel properties. Its got nothing todo with narrative its just business, but actors and producers till us sum creative bs Im sure your going on about in this vid(no offense) But Im just jaded…and Im glad theres a writers strike. Enough is enough.(my bad bro)…
I don’t know about the 180 thing regarding Tom/Shiv. No CEO compensation package imaginable is ever going to equal the amount of money she has or even received in just that deal alone. If she reprioritizes and puts her focus elsewhere, who cares that Tom’s Matsson’s lapdog? And he may not keep that position long.
Early on I think Kendall says he bought a lot of water and people would fight over it but he would have all the water. So the connection was there early on 🙂
The real winner is Logan Roy
That sister is a total jealous cunt. Three of them could have done awesome together. Fucking dumb bitch.
3:57 In Connors case it was less him demanding something he didn’t deserve but when her said “I am the eldest son” he was demanding something he did deserve which was consideration and respect from his siblings.
In that conversation Kendall was moaning about how Logan’s treatment of him hurt because “he was the eldest” but he wasn’t the eldest Connor was and yet he didn’t get to throw a pity party because he wasn’t being given the keys to the kingdom. As he said he didn’t see his father for three years at one point, he was at his siblings mothers wedding and had just got engaged to Willa and not one of his siblings had said as much as a congratulations.
I loved that the show set up Conner as the worst-case scenario for rhe Roy children. They were never going to be poor, but they could become out-of-touch trust fund babies that were tolerated only for their money (Conner's campaign, his play, and even his wife existing solely because he could access Roy money).
I think that's why the pitch from Peter was so important. It was the three kids becoming Conner; just bags of money wanting to seem important.
It was so clearly not going to be the siblings. They could only match their dad in the few moments they were working together. United they stand, divided they fell.
This show was well shot, well acted, but not very well written. It’s overrated in my opinion but fun to watch if you don’t mind a story that moves at a glacial repetitive pace.
Kept hearing how smart Shiv was. I never saw that. She was portrayed as a stereotypical narcissitic female character. She was basicly weak, insecure and manipulative. She used manipulation rather than genuine personal power to get her way. Shiv is a scorpion. It was a perfect analogy.
when the ending needs an explanation , it shows how poorly it was made , the writers ruined the last season for me
I just came across your channel. Absolutely great. Your analysis is brilliant, your observations are very comprehensive, rich in perspective and holistic. I love it. Thank you.
Connor will be fine.
Dudeee
Do black mirror please
Loved the way you brought it ALL together! Nice👍🏽
My statement may be a bit elementary, but, how are children of the rich supposed to behave. They've been handed everything on a silver platter. They have never had to sell lemonade to earn enough money to go to the amusement park. The obama children, Malia and Sasha are stable because Michelle and Barack weren't millionaires when they entered the white house. Come on people, let's be real! If I had money, my 13 year old would be a spoiled brat, but he'd be a nice person unlike the Logan children.
The unfortunate part of this ending is earlier in the seasons. He had a cardiac event, and instead of facing his mortality, he decided to become more entrenched and fight his offsprings for control of the company and then in this season he just dies out of nowhere, and everything is in disarray. He never made any arrangements for a successor, his own arrogance led to the failure of his kids and his company after his death
what a bunch or outrageous reaches…………….
Greg was as dumb as he acted.
I mean I guess you could say Tom won but I think no one won since the company is not really in anyone’s control at this point.
I knew this was gonna happen. They could never agree on anything in any of the trio
Bingeing various videos by Bryce. Always entertaining and lessons learned. ❤ it!
Greg may possibly still get his full inheritance. We don't know. I tend to trust what Logan said about Ewan being too much of a pussy to go through with his threat on that. He's also had time to cool off and at Logan's funeral he came across like a slightly less angry person, so it's possible he got over it. Ewan was just as big of a prick as Logan if not worse and he was an insufferable prick to Greg for no good reason even prior to having a reason to be prick to Greg. It would seem that Ewan never cared about or was in the equation of helping out Greg until Logan entered that equation and started helping out Greg at which point he threatened Greg by holding an inheritance over his head. It's weird that many viewers let Ewan off the hook, but Ewan was worse than Logan because at least Logan was aware of who he was. whereas Ewan paraded around like a white night, yet proceeded to benefit financially from both the business and Logan. he was a hypocrite and an insufferable person to be around at all times.
I started and completed watching succession just cause I could enjoy your videos
Best thing for those “ kids “. Time to stop trying to be Dad. And they’re even richer now. They need to stay away from each other for a long time.
At 15:00 Ken reopened Roman's scar because Roman indirectly asked him to. He was at the verge of another breakdown explaining how it would be better for the optics if his injury didn't look so good (healed) as it did. That way people would "understand" why it had to be Ken stepping up as CEO and not him. I think that scene could show how toxic the siblings are in general and how selfish Kendall could be. He is willing to physically hurt and make Roman bleed just to indulge his delusion and ultimately stop him from leaving before the voting.
