Season 3 continues to deliver with more schemes, backstabs and family drama. The acting and writing truly is phenomenal this episode. The cinematography is also stunning.

There is one scene near the end of Kendall just walking through a corridor (you'll understand when you watch it). And it's one of the best scenes of the season so far just because of its subtle but profound use of cinematography and acting. No dialogue is required as you can clearly see every single emotion kendall is feeling in that moment. This is exactly what I love about this show. There is so much fast, clever dialogue in each episode, but at the same time, succession knows when to just shut up and let us appreciate jeremy strong's acting abilities.

Exceptional episode of television.

This season continues to rise, I love the cast, they are always creative, especially Logan Roy. The production capacity is very high and excellent. The soundtrack is great. I also watch the introduction every episode because it is one of the greatest intros in the series hbo They continue to entertain us with their work.

No spoilers, but seeing the real Kendall for the first time at the end of this episode was chilling and the best moment of the season so far. This show is masterfully done. I can't even imagine where this season will go - we're only 3 episodes in!

I just wanted to point out how excellently everything wraps up this episode, it's truly a feat of directing, writing, and acting all coming together beautifully. These talented people playing in HBOs flashy playground is truly outstanding. Can't wait for more more more!

Mind blown....some of the best writings ever in entertainment history....this season is going to be a blast...looking forward to see what path it takes next....

The tension and intensity in this episode are insane!

I only wish that cousin greg was getting a better arc this season, but i have faith that the writers know what they're doing. I have a feeling he'll get more involved as the season continues.

Can you believe it? I couldn't. But there I was crying for Kendall. That long long l o n g walk down the hall. I can feel the feeling rising again as I write this the next day. And I write it beCAUSE the feeling is still here.

Wow. I scorned 'Succession's' first show and only came back because of the chatter. So I just. Could. Not. BeLIEVE it. Here I sat crying for Kendall. Wow.

Another reviewer points out that Cathy Yan needs to direct more and I second that WHOLE-heartedly because, LOOK! I'm crying for Kendall.

And, yes, not to overlook the man himself, Jeremy Strong, who won the Emmy last year for his work, and I gotta say should get another one this year because this episode was KILLER.

Wow.

Without saying much, this episode was a masterpiece and in my opinion the best of the series so far. The writing is great, as usual, but the way in which the direction, editing and score work collaboratively to capture the tensity and subtly exude the chaos, especially in the final ten minutes, was like watching an orchestra give the performance of their lives.

I hope Cathy gets to direct another episode in future because she definitely understood the assignment with this one.

I had high expectations for this season after epic season 2 ending ,so far the dialogue is still outstanding and cinematography is good but the plot is so bad,the way events happen and play out just feels unnatural and forced,huge disappointment hope they step up.

This was a great episode that really.made me invest myself emotionally in what was happenning! With everything Kendall has been through there were scenes that made me more emotional than I thought i would be! This Shows you just how much you qctually care about the characters and just how far they are willing to go!

Things really got spiced up in this episode and I can only imagine the consequences! Feels like they all desperatly tried to get the last laugh! Neither side is totally safe and anything can happen! Amazing way to keep you invested!

Season 3 is really shaping up and I am on board!

So many enjoyable bits like with Tom I absolutely love all his scenes and everything with Kendall is delightful! This is top notch of Succession that makes this show glorious very deserving of the 9.5 rating. I crave the metaphors/ alternate meanings throughout. The music is a masterpiece especially during the arrival scene at the family's building.

I have spent all of my Succession "tenure" veering between being a fan of Kendall Roy and loathing him (a truly exceptional performance by Jeremy Strong by the way.) I'm just watching season 3 because I waited to watch the last two seasons together, and up until the last fifteen or so minutes of episode 3 I really disliked him. But then he walked down that corridor in that scene and my heart broke for him. You could say he's the architect of his own downfall and for all his bravado he's vulnerable and insecure and wants nothing more than the love and respect of his father. The one thing his money can't buy. I've a long way to go but for today I'm team Kendall. To be continued...

This show has yet to miss and continues to be 'can't miss' stuff.

As a viewer, anytime I am engaged enough to feel my eyes squinting or my teeth clenching due to the tension that fills the room, I just have to look back and applaud those involved -- acting at it's best and I can't wait to see where we go from here.

A big step-up in quality compared to the first two episodes of the season.

It's the show's emphasis on Kendall that really drives it forward, in my opinion. And seeing him suffer can evoke a sort of emotional resonance or connection within the viewer, at least in my case. So this episode was a tough but largely rewarding one. I love Jeremy Strong, and I, unfortunately, love Kendall Roy. I've said this before, I accept and acknowledge that he is not a good person. But in a world filled with such a range of horrid, despicable central characters, you find yourself falling in love with the one who genuinely seems to care about the company, his family and people in a much larger and more general sense (or so it seems).

The filmmaking on display in this episode was, to put it simply, marvellous. The long, seemingly endless walk down the studio's corridor made me reflect in the same manner as Kendall, and I felt a sinking feeling within my heart as I saw him break down in the IT room.

It's becoming difficult to write these reviews without spoiling key details from within the narrative, but I'd prefer to do it this way so people can read my genuine thoughts on this show and where it has progressed to, without being spoiled, so they can perhaps decide to give it a go.

I'll keep it at this. The season has certainly picked up from this point. The stakes are becoming progressively higher, and a resolution is certainly on the way. I am invested in the narrative, and whilst the show is far from at its absolute best, it is continuously brilliant and truly one of the best on TV currently. I have a feeling that we may spend the entire season building up to this payoff, but with Season 4 being renewed so quickly, I have no doubt that they have a very explosive, fast-paced season in mind after this almost two season-long conflict continuing to be dragged out.

This episode has some really amazing moments and a stellar ending. There are some slow sections throughout that the writers could've used to build up to the shareholders meet more, but still a great episode!

Let's be honest this show is good but this was average at best. Slow but ok. This was the worst episode so far in my opinion. I'm sure other episodes would be better.

Not knocking the people who gave it a 10 rating I am sure you have your reasons. I imagine the ratings will fall when people who actually watch the show rate it.

As always the imagery and acting was great as always.

Basically the show is about rich people who are stupid ,selfish and lack any morals .Where is the nuanced writing ?It just appeals to people's prejudices that are rich people are evil and incredibly stupid ,witnessed by both Kendall's and Logan's actions Not one character is nice ,they all stab each other in the back but expect support. In real life there are nice people who get genuinely blindsided by immoral actions but nothing any character did on this show would surprise any of the other characters .It's just not realistic on any level.
