    It was Kendall who left him to drown after the crash. He hesitated and thought about saving him but instead chose to save himself. Kendall was responsible.

    He'd be in serious trouble just for leaving the scene of a dying person without calling an ambulance or otherwise getting help even if he hadn't driven the car into the lake.

    Funny how in S2E1 Shiv says she would would rather side with Sandy (Logan’s oldest rival) then see Ken( The eldest boy) become CEO….

    In a fight would Greg the egg have been the most formidable ?

    Very good. Shiv is all about self preservation to the very end. Sadly it will actually cost her more than she realises.

    Just started watching again, had totally forgotten that Roman had kids. What on earth happened them and his other half throughout the rest of the show?

    I read an interview where that was the pilot for the show, but after seeing Kieran Culkin's performance they decided to change the character to he was just dating that woman and they were her kids (or one kid) from a previous relationship.

    Afraid to dig through this thread and get hit with spoilers.

    Am just wondering where people are watching this? I have Prime and Netflix and Apple Tv which don't have it, I don't have Sky.

    My parents told me they're watching this on RTE player but I see no sign of it, are they wrong?

    Think it's on Now TV. Shows from HBO in America are usually on Sky Atlantic and Now TV.

    Come here. I missed what happened and was said between Tom and Greg in the toilet, about 20 minutes from the end of the last episode. Can someone pm it to me?

    Just started watching Season 4.

    I absolutely loved Connor singing Famous Blue Raincoat by Leonard Cohen at the Karaoke.

    It was such a Connor thing to do.

    I sang along myself.

    Wonder would they do a spin off series with one of the characters like what happened when The Good Wife finished.

    I finished binge watching the series and loved it.

    I really thought Kendall was going to kill himself in the final episode. When they had the scene where they were putting pen to paper in front of the window, I was half expecting he was going to be shown dropping in the background. I found it interesting that Jeremy Strong did an unused take where he had Kendall attempt to jump in the river at the end.

    What happens to Shiv now? It's interesting to ponder.

    She didn't get what she wanted, but she still has it good. Married to the CEO, expecting their baby - which makes me wonder why she pushed so hard to be CEO in the first place - and still as rich as ****. Will she take the hint, relax and try to enjoy motherhood, and find something else to do with herself? Or is that kid going to be neglected and grow up to be another Kendall or Shiv Roy, as his/her mother chases up another corporate ladder? Which is the better story? 😬

    On the surface she has unhappily become her mother, but the reality is Tom won't be CEO for long. He'll be the patsy at the first sign of trouble, and Shiv has done what she always done - reacting out of emotion thereby shooting herself in the foot. What is not in doubt is that the kid will have no chance.

    As expected, Succession sweeping the awards, after a rake at the Golden Globes, wins at the Emmy last night for Best Drama as well as writing and acting awards for Kieran Culkin & Sarah Snook in lead roles and Matthew MacFayden in supporting role.

    Well deserved, but I'd have included in and given MacFayden Best Actor award. By far the best actor and most rounded character of the ensemble.

    I'd mostly agree but I wonder if there might have been a bit of gaming the system there from the Succession lads so both picked up awards.

    They did something similar a few years back at the Emmys - Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong were in the lead category and Kieron Culkin was in the supporting category back then.

    The nominations are always a bit of a minefield when dealing with such an ensemble, usually resulting in some coordination.

    Kieran Culkin was a due one Emmy over the course of the show, but Season 4 was his strongest anyway.

    Made sense to put MacFadyen in for an easy Supporting. Despite enjoying all 8 nominees in that category, I doubt anyone got near him. Whereas I reckon Best Actor was considerably closer.
