This episode felt the most like Succession that they've made so far. Lots of angles being played by the characters and also a decent bit of comedy sprinkled in as well. It definitely felt like Eric was setup by the board to look foolish at the conference and be a fall guy. They had to know what was coming, outside of what Harper pulled anyway, but what she said basically confirmed it. If Pierpoint was such a believer in Lume, why was no one higher speaking at the conference?TopFlightReject said:
The last scene where Harper and Petra's new fund was meeting with Eric and Yas was freaking awesome TV. I'm not the biggest Harper fan.. and have been happy with the direction of the show (Harper not so much the leading character).. but that scene was fire. The way she spoke to Eric and pointing out the glitter on his face.. I had to rewatch it twice to get the full depth out of that scene.
I realize this probably throws Harper back more in a lead character role. But that dynamic between pierpoint and this new fund will be interesting going forward.
Hands down one of the best on tv right now.
I do wonder what they do with Kit Harrington's character now that they've basically confirmed Lume is going to fail as he's going to unload his stock before it goes to zero. This episode did pretty much prove my theory that he's a well-connected screw up who isn't taken seriously. He's close personal friends with that a-hole from the plane who openly said he was going to DJ at the hotel his parents own. Given his question to Yas I think it's pretty clear there's questions as to whether she possibly killed him as was previously theorized.
Anyway, really enjoying this show. Looks like next week we get the Rishi-focused episode which has to be a wild ride.
