Succession: What It Takes (2021)
Season 3, Episode 6
5/10
Seriously?
22 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The highlight of this episode is Shiv selling her soul? As if she hadn't already done this, you know, at the end of S1?

I'm legitimately baffled by what I'm watching here. It's like I've got special secret access to S1 and S2 while the writers are going into this completely blind. WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH ALL OF THIS BEFORE. For what purpose do we need yet another repeat of Shiv discarding her values to get closer to the top? Where is her growth as a character through all of this?

Right now, Tom is the only one that still retains anything resembling an arc, and perhaps Roman and to a lesser extent Connor.

And the scenes taken individually are still good. They might not be the best the show has ever put out, but I'm always entertained. However, those scenes add up into an episode and ultimately fall into a season. I suppose there is a chance they'll blow us all away with the finale, but right now I'm not seeing it.
