“I would just ask that you take care of me,” is one of the saddest lines in TV. He’s so broken that he can’t even ask his sister to help him through an emotional crisis without it sounding like a contract negotiation.
Honestly my favorite moments in the whole show are when the siblings show genuine love for each other. Like this and the season 3 finale are such powerful moments.
I think this scene hits so hard and is punctuated by the fact that the first moment at the end of this season when Shiv should have protected him she didn't. The one thing he begged her to do at such a vulnerable moment 😔
One of the most beautiful scenes in the whole series. Kendall has to keep this “tough guy masculine” persona at all times to please his dad. This was his one vulnerable moment where he just wants to open and be vulnerable. Beautifully done.
The staggering irony of this scene is that Kendall refuses to tell Shiv why he won't be the successor because he's worried she'll use it as leverage. And eventually she does, to prevent him from becoming the successor.
I think the saddest part is Kendall wants to tell Shiv, but he knows that he can’t trust her with information that could be used to blackmail him in the future.
That's the saddest aspect of the Roy family. The only people in the world who understand them are each other - but they have been destined to go down a path of always playing a conniving game of power, thus relegating them to never trust each other
I always thought it was him being worried that Shiv would call Logan out about using that against Kendall, which would make Logan pissed at Kendall and kick him to the curb
Anyone else catch the importance of the end of the scene? Earlier in the episode when Logan was in the panic room, he was worried about Kendall more than his other children when he heard there was an incident and someone killed themselves. During this time, Kendall was on the balcony climbing up to the railing and peaking over the edge. At the end of the episode there is a 10' high glass barrier installed at the same railing. Clearly Logan found out where Kendall was, likely saw video surveillance footage form the balcony, and installed the barriers shortly after. Kendall leans against the glass at the end of the scene defeated and trapped, like someone had found out and ruined his escape plan.
Yeah, brilliant breakdown. I'd just like to add that the barriers were more likely installed since ATN employees had started shooting themselves due to the work culture.
@@cultofgaurav While it’s reasonable to assume the glasses went up after the guy shooting himself but I believe there is a reason there is a CCTV camera shot of Kendall going to the roof right at the beginning of the episode, it shows he’s being watched (by Logan likely) and like Krisitan said above notice how concerned Logan was about where Kendall was in the panic room? He definitely thought that could have been Kendall involved in the incident. Just goes to show Logan never has his eye off him.
Fucking amazing observation. Already one of my favourite episodes and that detail makes it even better. The CCTV camera shot at the start has more significance now aswell.
Although I definitely think practically this same thing, after a rewatch I wondered if Ken really wanted to kill himself because the glass barrier isn't that tall as to not be able to climb it up
That sudden shift of emotions on Shiv's face is incredible. This scene was an acting masterclass. Jeremy Strong and Sarah Snook (along with just about everyone on this show) are too good for words!
2:55 when she puts her hand on his shoulder like a co-worker, and he takes it and puts it on his heart…… I died. Shit got real and he literally thanked her from the bottom of his heart and she felt it, and it was 100% foreign. Her reaction to that was candid, and she had ZERO idea what to do there.
Because it wasn't a transactional admittance. It was just him needing someone to open up to if only for a minute, no second meaning, no ulterior motive. That genuine moment of vulnerability is what fucked her up.
Logan did a number on all of his kids. Instead of thinking that her father has something on Kendall, Shiv thinks Kendall has something on Logan. Logan manipulated his kids into not trusting each other so that he could always have the upper hand.
I actually think its a little more than that...Mixed with why Logan got all the kids in the divorce..Their whole lives have been just a testing field battleground...All of them being groomed in a dog eat dog way to see whos worthy in Logans eyes of being his successor...He raises them to always be in backstab mode...always be fake and deceptive...Killers...he changes his mind constantly about whos hes considering...then pulls back because one of them makes a mistake...He corrupted all of his children so the strongest one could lead the next generation..and when Ken does what he does in S2 finale...thats why u see the angry smile breakout on his face...He knows Ken is the one...but also knows that he has to put everything into destroying him now...Final test from master to would be apprentice..This is potentially the best TV series ever written..if it jeeps the moment going
How it takes Kendall weeping on her shoulder for Shiv to stop playing the game and realise her own brother is in so much pain alone shows how much wealth and power has corrupted her
This is absolutely true but what makes it even more affecting is that the three younger siblings are possibly the only people in the world capable of eliciting that response from each other. The only reason they're "corrupted" that way to begin with is the way they were raised (and abused, mainly psychologically but in various ways by Logan), and only each other can understand the unique pain of that and what it does to a person. They live the game all the time 24/7 but only ever stop when one of them actually shows how much they're hurting or how much trouble they're in (same as Roman picking up Kendall in New Mexico).
What really burns me is when Kendall tried to ask for help from his own mother and she blew him off. He plays haunted better than anyone I've ever seen.
Contrasting this scene of Shiv asking if Kendall wants to talk some more with the one where Kendall is trying to open up with his mother and she is incapable of being there emotionally for him yet she always tries to guilt trip her kids for not caring about her when she literally hasn’t been there for them is just...
@@betaririzqikaer2451 imagine growing up with two such horrible parents. It's really no surprise that they cannot form proper relationships, and be a family. A bit like Voldermort and his inablity to love.
@@zurzakne-etra7069 I mean their mum went through some trauma as well. After the divorce all 3 of her children went to their father for his money and betrayed her and not only that they didn't even meet her regularly. So just like everyone in this family she is extremely traumatised too
@@aviralsatija6395 The way their Mum's scenes are written in my experience points to a narcissistic mother, and with their father they got a raw deal altogether. As it has been said numerous times, SUCCESSION is quite Shakespearean.

sengie enter a name that's it when you have an abusive parent and have a childhood with no love and no one to lean on emotionally! You become like Ken. He is the perfect example of the bad side of broken but wealthy families
He straight up has nothing to live for in that moment. No identity of his own and just hanging around his father. So when he's useless to him, he wouldn't have anything to keep his mind busy. He knows he will get suicidal.
They both do. Like damn, is just such satisfying performances. This whole series is just top in performances for most of their characters, just incredible imo.
When they're hugging I love how the camera shows the way Shiv's face changes after realizing Kendall is really crying. It's such a protective Sister moment...
@@tus2521 I wonder what's his play in all of this? Seems like his presidential campaign was building up to something big but now that's scrapped... so is Willa going to get big in S03? 🤔
This scene made me cry. Even a venomous family is still family. Her embrace to make him cry. Crushing. And I think the glass was put up in response to the guy shooting him self. Probably took counter measures against more suicides.
I think the glass was a direct response to Kendall climbing up on the ledge earlier in the episode. That's also why when they heard somebody killed them self, Logan was so worried about where Kendall was. Logan has his eye on Kendall.
Kendall was probably planning on jumping and couldn't because of that glass. Logan's first reaction was to ask if Kendall was ok. Everyone knows Kendall was hanging on by a thread at that point.
Currently watching this show. It's crazy that no character has acknowledged Kendall's depression so far this season. It's also crazy that that is how life is. How many of us have silently gone through hell, and the world around you just kept on going like nothing happened.
I don't think so. His so called olanned only came later. See this episode for itself. See the title ('safe room'), on the rooftop scene (change in the last after the suicide.
Whilst the OP did a commendable job[ that's why so many "upvotes", I see], unfortunately I've to be "that guy" and spell it out: Alas, the respondent commenters couldn't just have impulse-control and BEHAVE...! These spoilsters: Never gonna repair themselves, are they?°
Damola Yusuf no man, i think Kendall would have taken the fall. I think Logan knew it was over, the board of directors wanted him to step down. The changing
The writing for Jeremy Strong's Kendall this season was in a totally different plane and Jeremy was pitch perfect in the execution from the biggest emotions down to the tiniest nuances. That Emmy was soooooo well deserved and this was one of the reasons why.
I think Ken saying “It ain’t gonna be me” is so ominous. it’s like he knows his secret will be revealed eventually no matter how hard they try to cover it up. he’s resigned himself to that hopelessness
Yeah, I really wanted him to become ceo but I don't see a path forward for it anymore. I think its interesting what the writers are doing by leading it more towards all the siblings owning the company rather than just Kendall but I just wish it was him.
If Kendall Roy isn’t your favorite character, you aren’t watching the show right. So many damn scenes where I find myself in absolute awe. He is one of the most fascinating characters I’ve ever seen in any television show.
This scene and him going up to the roof to find the plexiglass had been installed to stop a jump broke my heart. It was so hard watching him being totally broken this season. Glad he got his mojo back. I adore him. The rest are sadistic; Ken isn’t.
@@sweetcell8767 No he looks around and is clearly surprised by it. Definitely Logan. Also I don't think all of them are sadistic, Connor definitely has a heart.
In the end, Shiv never did end up taking care of Ken. She chose Tom instead. It’s also what cost her a chance at the top job, in Logan’s mind. Despite their differences, Logan and Ewan are immensely loyal to each other. Ken, Shiv, and Rom are not.
Actually, Shiv doesn't care about anybody. She was nearly first one who support that Tom should be victim. Also, the only reason she asked Logan not to choose Tom was because he felt bad that Tom was right in what he said about their marriage. but again she didn't think about who was going to be victim after Tom. And i think she wasn't upset for Kendall. Poor Ken..
She didn't choose Tom, she for the first time realized how much of a shitty person she was towards him and was so guilt ridden which made her help Tom. Even then she made that choice after being convinced she would be on Logan's good side.
@@alsage9992 you’re being waaay too kind on her. The only reason she protected Tom, is because she didn’t want to face a world where even Tom would leave her, and wash his hands with her. She chose him precisely because she could have him eat out of the palm of her hand at any moment. For this reason, she chose to be with an opportunistic, unprincipled, cowardly, babbling-baboon semblance of a man. And to have this insult to manhood and masculinity reject her, would be too much for her to face. So to avoid dealing with her own demons, she’s okay to sacrifice someone else, anyone else. She is only motivated by herself here. She, to me, is the most despicable character out of the 3 siblings. The most selfish, and definitely “feminism gone rogue” because of what must have been a shitty childhood.
You know he wants to say what he did wrong but he knows he can't tell Shiv what's up because she'll just back stab him like everyone else has on this show like Roman has countless times, his father, Gerri, Stewy etc
I dunno, I think if he had of been honest with Shiv in this moment her natural instincts as a sister would've been to protect her brother. To keep his secret for the time being, but, ultimately help him some way. Maybe. I only say that because of the look of genuine concern in her face when he started to cry
I have now seen all seasons all episodes twice but I cannot have enough of this scene. The 2nd time he says "yeah it ain't gonna be me" with tears and smile is the finest piece of acting I have ever seen. I cry every time. Every effing time.
Unbelievably well-done moment. Shiv is panicking for a lot of this episode, viewing Ken as this threat to her newfound position as Logan's successor. Ken exposing just how broken he is for one of their most genuine, sincerely vulnerable moments in the entire series, simultaneously completely disarming Shiv and getting her to view him as her brother instead of her competitor... it's brilliant.
@@El-jefe-darkness In response to your additional, non-solicited response: By “last episode”, you meant the latest episode i.e. exactly the one this clip is extracted from? 🤔
you can pinpoint the exact moment shiv turns off battle mode when she realizes kendall is crying. beautiful performances from both actors. (and I have such a crush on kendall/jeremy. god.)
I keep coming back to this scene so many months later and it’s because it’s soo soo raw, emotional, real, vivid, hurtful, crazy - I don’t have the words to describe the intensity of emotions and the lack of them in this scene. It’s everything and nothing - I love it so damn much.
He asked her to take care of him and she literally threw him to the wolves instead of her husband who was actually guilty of the coverup. She lost all points with me for that one. Kendall is hardly a nice guy, but he's the only sibling that shows humanity and vulnerability and he literally asked for her help and she went there and betrayed him.
@@smarkslowplay3512 That's what I mean. She just said she didn't want to choose but all she said was that she didn't want it to be her husband. I don't think she picked Kendall.
I think Kendall formed a strong shell of himself to get over his addiction originally and used work and business to build himself up, then when the takeovers failed and he lost, he realized none of it actually matters and how empty he is inside. Ex wife doesn’t care about him, family struggles to sympathize with him because of the strong shell he put up his whole life. He’s the most intricate character in the show imo
Agreed - so many outstanding moments but their acting here is achingly real and vulnerable. Master class in how you have us feel the intimacy of these siblings.
Sarah Snook is amazing in this scene. The change of expression on her face when she realises somethings wrong with Kendall broke me the first time I watched it.
It is a statement of talent to make such an impact on the scene that Sarah did with that look when she hugs Jeremy all while he's crushing it with crying and raw emotions. Geniuses in their own rights.
Probably the saddest scene in Succession, in terms of how it directly parallels the final conflict and the final Ken & Shiv fight, which results in the Roy family's fall from Waystar.
This scene makes me so sad. It gives a glimpse of what the Roy siblings could have been like had they not been so damaged by two cruel, indifferent, manipulative parents.
This is probably my favorite scene in the show. Prior to this moment we were only guessing the extent of Kendall's internal struggle after the accident/cover up and in a single instance we're able to see how broken he is and how badly he needs support.
Who's here after Shiv shivved Kendall in the eye after releasing that press release about his addiction in S03E03? This show captures sibling rivalries amazingly
supposedly Logan had someone tailing Kendall and monitoring him for a while, including following him up to the roof the first time-presumably they assumed he was thinking about jumping off
It was put there for safety reasons because that person committed suicide during the episode.I do not think it was put in place for Kendal specifically
Watching this with where things are going in season 3 is just so fucking sad. Without their father’s influence, they could be good siblings to each other. We get a glimpse of the care and understanding the siblings have for each other behind it all here, but it can never be reality in any consistent way. Logan will always tear them apart, and they’ll let it happen willingly because it’s the only thing that makes them happy
Part of the reason why the writing is so good is how you can completely believe their love for each other in this moment, but understand how they will forever stab each other in the back. It's nuanced and realistic to the complexities of real people.
OMG, some of the best acting I've seen! This was my favoite scene of the season. Along with the final scene of the season finale. Jeremy Strong is AMAZING! They all are!
I know I'm probably boar on the floor for this, but until I rewatched this scene, I didn't understand why Ken was so devastated by Shiv's letter in s3e3 until I rewatched this. The siblings are all so nasty to each other it didn't register to me why that was so devastating, until I realized shiv was the one Ken asked to take care of him once his dad had no more use for him. He must have felt so alone.
And he doesn't know that she's part of the reason their father chose to sacrifice him at the end of season 2 It came down to Ken or Tom and Shiv chose the husband that she didn't even love and who actually did share some guilt over her brother. I have hated Shiv since then and have never recovered from that
@@brennaleeann213 The video that Ken sent to Roman at the end of Living+, "one head, one crown" , the "big hug" from him to Roman etc... do they come from a morally pure man ? Even him said there's something bad about him în e9 S3.None of the siblings is an angel, they're all "broken" children who act like one.
This very well might be my favorite moment of the entire series, looking back now. It was such a raw and genuine moment between these two that we basically never get again. Just a glimpse of the facades falling down while they get to be two siblings for a brief second....
The writing, the acting, the tempo... even the way they move about the space is so f***ing good!! I’m having difficulty finding the words to accurately describe just how good this is. It is so multi layered... I’m speechless.
I just rewatched this scene after going through the whole season, and Logan's "worry" for Kendall in this episode looks so DIFFERENT after knowing what he had planned for his son in the finale. It now makes me rethink why Logan kept asking about Kendall's whereabouts and the enforcement of the glass walls at the end of the episode. Now, a part of me believes that Logan was only worried that Kendall's suicide would derail his plans...and not him actually caring about his son's deteriorating mental health.
I don't think so. He decided to throw him under the bus after the congressional hearing only. At this point in story he didn't even know the cruise scandal will come out.
Even without that, can you imagine the optics of your kid launching himself off the roof of your building? (or shooting himself inside of it?) I remember when I first saw the episode _I_ couldn't help but think about it, I can't see a scenario where Logan Roy wouldn't be aware of and concerned about that. Maybe there was some love there, maybe not. But there was definitely strategy, at the very least, mixed into it.
The last minute is another one of the MANY times I thought "okay, this show is a masterpiece", but it's the most vivid one to date. Britell's music is phenomenal.

@@billyobfas6962 Kendall is the only one who had a heart and a conscience
"If dad didnt need me right now ... I don't exactly know what I would be for"
shell of a man
I think Ken saying “It ain’t gonna be me” is so ominous. it’s like he knows his secret will be revealed eventually no matter how hard they try to cover it up. he’s resigned himself to that hopelessness
Yeah, I really wanted him to become ceo but I don't see a path forward for it anymore. I think its interesting what the writers are doing by leading it more towards all the siblings owning the company rather than just Kendall but I just wish it was him.
If Kendall Roy isn’t your favorite character, you aren’t watching the show right. So many damn scenes where I find myself in absolute awe. He is one of the most fascinating characters I’ve ever seen in any television show.
He looks like a puppy way too often. I don't like agitation.
sorry, I got to go with my man greg
He’s definitely my fav character with Greg a close second
@@thegruesometwosome2831 Which made the Ken-Greg alliance all the more awesome
Could not agree more, an absolutely incredible character. He is so complex and well developed and the performance Jeremy Strong gives is riveting.
This scene and him going up to the roof to find the plexiglass had been installed to stop a jump broke my heart. It was so hard watching him being totally broken this season. Glad he got his mojo back. I adore him. The rest are sadistic; Ken isn’t.
I think its possible that it was Kendall who ordered the glass to be installed himself.
@@sweetcell8767 no he’s definitely surprised by it
@@sweetcell8767 No he looks around and is clearly surprised by it. Definitely Logan. Also I don't think all of them are sadistic, Connor definitely has a heart.
@@rayzala1393 I mean, he was okay with purchasing a human being and shacking her up in he middle of nowhere. So not too much of heart.
Jeremy Strong’s performance as Kendall Roy is the most achingly vulnerable performance of all time. My favorite ever.
In the end, Shiv never did end up taking care of Ken. She chose Tom instead. It’s also what cost her a chance at the top job, in Logan’s mind. Despite their differences, Logan and Ewan are immensely loyal to each other. Ken, Shiv, and Rom are not.
Actually, Shiv doesn't care about anybody. She was nearly first one who support that Tom should be victim. Also, the only reason she asked Logan not to choose Tom was because he felt bad that Tom was right in what he said about their marriage. but again she didn't think about who was going to be victim after Tom. And i think she wasn't upset for Kendall. Poor Ken..
She didn't choose Tom, she for the first time realized how much of a shitty person she was towards him and was so guilt ridden which made her help Tom. Even then she made that choice after being convinced she would be on Logan's good side.
Y’all judging way to soon
i think ewan was bankrolling the cruise ship whistleblower
@@alsage9992 you’re being waaay too kind on her. The only reason she protected Tom, is because she didn’t want to face a world where even Tom would leave her, and wash his hands with her. She chose him precisely because she could have him eat out of the palm of her hand at any moment. For this reason, she chose to be with an opportunistic, unprincipled, cowardly, babbling-baboon semblance of a man. And to have this insult to manhood and masculinity reject her, would be too much for her to face. So to avoid dealing with her own demons, she’s okay to sacrifice someone else, anyone else. She is only motivated by herself here. She, to me, is the most despicable character out of the 3 siblings. The most selfish, and definitely “feminism gone rogue” because of what must have been a shitty childhood.
I love how ken asked shiv to take care of him .......and in the last episode she is the one who sacrificed him.....
He doesn't love you, he loves the broken you
Incredible line.
😢😢
The broken* you
Exactly.
You know he wants to say what he did wrong but he knows he can't tell Shiv what's up because she'll just back stab him like everyone else has on this show like Roman has countless times, his father, Gerri, Stewy etc
When did roman besides the board meeting 🤔?
@@garvitgarg709 always in front of everyone. He belittles him any chance he gets
@@garvitgarg709 he attempted to lie and say kendall was the rat during the hunting trip when it was him
@@costellomhor i disagree
I dunno, I think if he had of been honest with Shiv in this moment her natural instincts as a sister would've been to protect her brother. To keep his secret for the time being, but, ultimately help him some way. Maybe. I only say that because of the look of genuine concern in her face when he started to cry
“You’re not a killer. You have to be a killer” Game Change
was that before or after this. christ, i've just watched it and it all runs together.
justgivemethetruth finale
I have now seen all seasons all episodes twice but I cannot have enough of this scene. The 2nd time he says "yeah it ain't gonna be me" with tears and smile is the finest piece of acting I have ever seen. I cry every time. Every effing time.
To you, what does he mean by that line? I’ve been trying to come up with an answer, but I can’t. He’s not gonna be the one to tell?
@@graceedits3118 he's not going to be the one to take over from Logan.
Kendall saying "yeah it's not gonna be me" simply because he showed emotion is pretty sad
the acting from 2:10-2:20 is wild, so much detail going on with the facial expressions that communicates so much without saying anything
This moment, this music... goosebumps and tears..
sarah snook's performance in this scene is so powerful. so many different emotions flicker across her face during that hug. she's so underrated
I keep coming to this scene every time so I can feel sad and cry.

Unbelievably well-done moment. Shiv is panicking for a lot of this episode, viewing Ken as this threat to her newfound position as Logan's successor. Ken exposing just how broken he is for one of their most genuine, sincerely vulnerable moments in the entire series, simultaneously completely disarming Shiv and getting her to view him as her brother instead of her competitor... it's brilliant.
One of the best scenes in the show so far
Your personal opinion??? 🤔
@@maazkalim yes
@@El-jefe-darkness Okeydoke. ☺️
@@maazkalim I mean I'm a fan of the Gerri Roman scene from last episode as well lol.... But this was a great emotional scene
@@El-jefe-darkness In response to your additional, non-solicited response: By “last episode”, you meant the latest episode i.e. exactly the one this clip is extracted from? 🤔
you can pinpoint the exact moment shiv turns off battle mode when she realizes kendall is crying. beautiful performances from both actors.
(and I have such a crush on kendall/jeremy. god.)
I keep coming back to this scene so many months later and it’s because it’s soo soo raw, emotional, real, vivid, hurtful, crazy - I don’t have the words to describe the intensity of emotions and the lack of them in this scene. It’s everything and nothing - I love it so damn much.
Kendall is slowly becoming my favorite TV character ever
He sure is
That change of expeession when Shiv actually realises that there's something really wrong and kendall's not okay at all...kills me every single time
He asked her to take care of him and she literally threw him to the wolves instead of her husband who was actually guilty of the coverup. She lost all points with me for that one. Kendall is hardly a nice guy, but he's the only sibling that shows humanity and vulnerability and he literally asked for her help and she went there and betrayed him.
Sarah S how did she betray him? She didn't choose Kendall to be the sacrifice. She just said not Tom.
Isn't it obvious that she wouldn't choose her husband???
I'm sure she didn't want it to be Ken either
@@smarkslowplay3512 That's what I mean. She just said she didn't want to choose but all she said was that she didn't want it to be her husband. I don't think she picked Kendall.
Wasn't Kendall involved in the cover up as well?
This scene is another reason why I’m so pissed Jeremy did not get a Golden Globe nomination!!
Well he won this year
He didn't win the GG, but won the Emmy. Him and Brian deserve all the awards they got.
WHAT????????? 😱
@@toladep ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I think Kendall formed a strong shell of himself to get over his addiction originally and used work and business to build himself up, then when the takeovers failed and he lost, he realized none of it actually matters and how empty he is inside. Ex wife doesn’t care about him, family struggles to sympathize with him because of the strong shell he put up his whole life. He’s the most intricate character in the show imo
"Fucking look at me."
Give Sarah Snook all the Emmys (as long as Rhea Seehorn also gets all the Emmys).
Just give him the Emmy, please!!!
He just won it!
Probably my favorite scene of the show. It tears me apart, I can't handle how good the acting is
Agreed - so many outstanding moments but their acting here is achingly real and vulnerable. Master class in how you have us feel the intimacy of these siblings.
Really felt something during this scene.
This scene hits SOOOO DIFFERENT after her statement on Kendall in S3
Sarah Snook is amazing in this scene. The change of expression on her face when she realises somethings wrong with Kendall broke me the first time I watched it.
I have so many feelings for Kendall. Poor boy. I want to hug him.
Jeremy Strong is one of the best actors working today. Change my mind.
To think he does a kinda badass broker in The Big Short and then seeing him like this. He has destroyed performances these last years.
The scene where shiv is getting married and they meet at the boat and hug honestly touched me
No matter how many times I watch this scene I tear up. Best and favorite scene in the whole show.
kasnif pierre same
Me too
Storylines 101, when a character says that it won't be them, there's a high likelihood that it will definitely be them.
Enter bran stark. Uggggghhhhhhh makes me sick just thinking about it
@@chevon7665 Same. I was absolutely irate and fuming!
Every big bro shed a tear watching this scene
All the more heartbreaking when you realize who it was in the end, that caused Kendall's final downfall
It is a statement of talent to make such an impact on the scene that Sarah did with that look when she hugs Jeremy all while he's crushing it with crying and raw emotions. Geniuses in their own rights.
This scene came out of no where. It really hits you when for a moment both of them are real without any kind of gurd. It was acting masterclass.
Her face man ... The emotional shift ... She deserves Oscar for that .... How could anyone be like that ... I heard it was her genuine reaction.
Probably the saddest scene in Succession, in terms of how it directly parallels the final conflict and the final Ken & Shiv fight, which results in the Roy family's fall from Waystar.
This scene makes me so sad. It gives a glimpse of what the Roy siblings could have been like had they not been so damaged by two cruel, indifferent, manipulative parents.
This is probably my favorite scene in the show. Prior to this moment we were only guessing the extent of Kendall's internal struggle after the accident/cover up and in a single instance we're able to see how broken he is and how badly he needs support.
Who's here after Shiv shivved Kendall in the eye after releasing that press release about his addiction in S03E03? This show captures sibling rivalries amazingly
Anyone else think that Logan had that tall glass installed on the roof because he knows Kendall is suicidal?
Or because an employee did commit suicide violently in the building so they were implementing anti-suicide barrier glass as a general measure.
Yes..definitely 👍👍
Yes. He had been watching him.
Safety glass wasn’t there earlier in the episode when he was on the roof during the active shooter.
"active shooter" scare* There! FTFY ☺️
supposedly Logan had someone tailing Kendall and monitoring him for a while, including following him up to the roof the first time-presumably they assumed he was thinking about jumping off
Yep. Suicide barriers were in place by episode end. In a way, it's like a prison for Kendall with this family.
You seem fun.
It was put there for safety reasons because that person committed suicide during the episode.I do not think it was put in place for Kendal specifically
This won him the Emmy.
This scene makes the ending even sadder
Watching this with where things are going in season 3 is just so fucking sad. Without their father’s influence, they could be good siblings to each other. We get a glimpse of the care and understanding the siblings have for each other behind it all here, but it can never be reality in any consistent way. Logan will always tear them apart, and they’ll let it happen willingly because it’s the only thing that makes them happy
Legacy of abuse. Anyone who went through abuse from narcissists reading this, you are not alone.
Part of the reason why the writing is so good is how you can completely believe their love for each other in this moment, but understand how they will forever stab each other in the back. It's nuanced and realistic to the complexities of real people.
After the sale, they can just argue like kids, but no more blackstabbing. They're freed from of their father's grip. 🙂
I don't want to overreact but this is the best show of all
…ugh. How this hurts on so many levels to watch now…
So happy someone uploaded this, cause it made me so emotional. This show is just brilliant!
God... He was so heartbreaking in every scene in Season 2. A truly broken man. Jeremy Strong deserves all the accolades!
Logan constantly put this sense of competition between the siblings and put them against each other that moments like this are rare
My single favourite scene from the first two seasons. So much going on here, and the acting is just stunning from Jeremy Strong.
Still in the middle of watching Succession but this is my favorite scene so far. So affecting. Can't stop thinking about it
This hurts a lot more after season 3 Ep. 3’s ending.
Why?
@@CometStar100 Shiv's betrayal
and s3 e8👀
Every once in a while I come to cry watching this
OMG, some of the best acting I've seen! This was my favoite scene of the season. Along with the final scene of the season finale. Jeremy Strong is AMAZING! They all are!
There’s so many moments in this show were it’s physically impossible to only watch it once.
I know I'm probably boar on the floor for this, but until I rewatched this scene, I didn't understand why Ken was so devastated by Shiv's letter in s3e3 until I rewatched this. The siblings are all so nasty to each other it didn't register to me why that was so devastating, until I realized shiv was the one Ken asked to take care of him once his dad had no more use for him. He must have felt so alone.
So true! Excellent observation; that never occurred to me.
And he doesn't know that she's part of the reason their father chose to sacrifice him at the end of season 2
It came down to Ken or Tom and Shiv chose the husband that she didn't even love and who actually did share some guilt over her brother. I have hated Shiv since then and have never recovered from that
The subtle shift from conniving sociopath to actual caring sister Shiv makes during the hug is world class
Shiv don't do drugs and didn't kill anyone, even by "accident" !
@@corinne6011i don’t see how being an addict is a moral failing
@@brennaleeann213 The video that Ken sent to Roman at the end of Living+, "one head, one crown" , the "big hug" from him to Roman etc... do they come from a morally pure man ? Even him said there's something bad about him în e9 S3.None of the siblings is an angel, they're all "broken" children who act like one.
@@corinne6011 i’m not saying that kendall’s morally good or anything i just don’t get how him having an addiction is one of the reasons he’s bad
@@brennaleeann213 Ok, addictions are a disease.
how did we get from this scene to episode 3x03....wow
In a show filled with nothing but snakes, Shiv truly was the anaconda in the room, couldn’t stand her in the last episode.
I wish I could hug him and never let him go 😢
I haven't seen any other clips of this show and I'm almost convinced to watch it just because of that magnificent facial shift she did during the hug.
When he says "I would just ask that you take care of me" broke my heart 💔
This very well might be my favorite moment of the entire series, looking back now. It was such a raw and genuine moment between these two that we basically never get again. Just a glimpse of the facades falling down while they get to be two siblings for a brief second....
He was right. It’s was never going to be him.
The writing, the acting, the tempo... even the way they move about the space is so f***ing good!!
I’m having difficulty finding the words to accurately describe just how good this is.
It is so multi layered... I’m speechless.
I just rewatched this scene after going through the whole season, and Logan's "worry" for Kendall in this episode looks so DIFFERENT after knowing what he had planned for his son in the finale. It now makes me rethink why Logan kept asking about Kendall's whereabouts and the enforcement of the glass walls at the end of the episode. Now, a part of me believes that Logan was only worried that Kendall's suicide would derail his plans...and not him actually caring about his son's deteriorating mental health.
I don't think so. He decided to throw him under the bus after the congressional hearing only. At this point in story he didn't even know the cruise scandal will come out.
Even without that, can you imagine the optics of your kid launching himself off the roof of your building? (or shooting himself inside of it?) I remember when I first saw the episode _I_ couldn't help but think about it, I can't see a scenario where Logan Roy wouldn't be aware of and concerned about that.
Maybe there was some love there, maybe not. But there was definitely strategy, at the very least, mixed into it.
The last minute is another one of the MANY times I thought "okay, this show is a masterpiece", but it's the most vivid one to date. Britell's music is phenomenal.
