How long do you want to ignore this user?
Im no acting expert but the 1-2 second shot of Shiv after Tom said "it's okay, it's a difficult day" was the loudest I've ever heard somebody act without saying a word
Wow. Was not expecting that.
Holy ****ing *****
What a shocking episode.
Lots of emotions on this one. I will have to see how this pans out in future episodes to really put it in context, but wow.
This episode broke the internet for sure. Wow, I mean wtf just happened. Emmy's give them all those stupid awards. Haha. The rest of this season is going to be incredible.
Spoiler tags just in case:
It's an experience that unfortunately too many people go through, but they sure nailed the pure chaos and range of emotions that come from losing a loved one to something sudden.
Not sure I've ever seen a death depicted like that in a TV show or movie.
Brilliant episode.

FIFY
LA Times just did a fake article obituary for it. This was literally 2023 "red wedding" episode Succession style.

My quick thoughts: loved Tom razzing Greg with the mini Gregs from the pigpen, the Greglets. Fantastic.
Is it just me or did Gerri just get a little old woman hot early on in this episode? Grading on a scale of course but I digress.
Man what a gut punch episode. I had a feeling they would off Logan to accelerate the "succession" but never dreamed it would be the 3rd episode. Nice job Mark!
I can't wait to see how the backstabbing and inner turmoil plays out the rest of the way. Buckle up!

Wow. I have never seen any part of media depict the impact of sudden death like that. Unfortunately, I have been on the receiving end of that, albeit with far far far fewer business impacts. Those moments of the other end of the phone trying to dance around saying the person is dead hits home. Trying to figure out what happened, what's next, and also coming to the realization that someone you love is dead, all while trying to figure out how to get home was so well done. What an incredibly tragic episode. Wow.
I need a hard palate cleanser after that one

Connor's Wedding is up there with The Suitcase, The Rains of Castamere, and Ozymandias for all time great TV episodes. That was incredible.
My wife doesn't watch Succession. After the episode I literally told her the same thing. Every other show is with a major character when they die. With this show, like real life, it starts with the phone call.Bones08 said:

You wouldn't realize how realistic this episode was unless you've personally experienced it.

This.
Made even more memorable by the fact that no one was even remotely expecting it. At least not yet. I assumed Logan would die, but not until later in the season, with one or two episodes left. As always, though, Armstrong & co know how to squeeze the drama for everything it's worth, in ways no one saw coming. Logan dying the day before the close of the deal was a stroke of genius, in terms of what's about go to down in the wake.
Just… holy sh*t.
Every few years we get to witness an episode like this, one you instantly know is going down in the pop culture history books. Succession was already headed toward a seat at the table with the greats, but tonight solidified its all-timer status.
Just starting the episode, but just wanted to say how funny it is to me for some reason that this episode is called "Connor's Wedding". The episode titles have never been this matter of fact.
I liked how they made his death very anticlimactic and completely inconvenient in terms of timing. No build up, no bells and whistles, no last stirring monologue. He's there and then he's not. It's brilliant writing because that's exactly how death is the vast majority of the time, unfortunately.
They wanted the audience to mainline straight, no BS reality. I think they pulled it off really well.

Two things had me raising an eyebrow before the episode… Last Week Tonight tweeted that they'd be starting ten minutes late, which meant that tonight's Succession was a super-sized episode, and then The Ringer mentioned that they didn't get screeners ahead of time for this episode, so their reaction podcasts would be coming a little late, as opposed to right when the episode ended, per usual. So I knew something was up, but I never could guessed it would be this.

Such a great point. Any other show would have foreshadowed the hell out of this. Instead, it hit us like a ton of bricks, with zero warning, just like it did for the characters.
this episode of SUCCESSION is going to go down in history as one of the best episodes in modern TV history, the kind that defines what the series has always been about while capturing the raw humanity of the deeply flawed, broken people that are the Roy Family. I’m still reeling.

i've lived through something vaguely similar to what goes down in this episode of SUCCESSION, and I've never seen this scenario so vividly, credibly and chaotically captured in the minutia of micro-behavior and helplessness. it rocked me to the bone.

this paragraph right here. it feels exactly like it does to get that call about a loved one- it feels like sudden immobility while everything around you keeps turning, and you still have to think on your feet. the entire episode just absolutely nails that feeling. https://t.co/wFPrXdcekQ pic.twitter.com/Cy3PLrJJf8

That felt like a mini three episode season and season four begins now. God tier television.

This episode was a perfect symphony. Everyone working in tandem to create this devastating harmony of panic, confusion & grief.

With one *possible* exception, #Succession did the thing that it did tonight with more honesty/accuracy/humor than any other single episode of TV that I've ever seen. I don't usually play the, "All the Emmys!" game. But... All the Emmys. #SuccessionHBO

All. The. Awards!
Twenty minutes in. It's Kieran's turn for an Emmy.
