Kendall is such a great character because they make you constantly root for him and wish for him to get on top. And when hes on top, he makes you ask yourself why you ever wanted that.
i love that line from connor, "you know, PGN pulls up that photo of me with a ponytail anytime they wanna make me look untrustworthy." it's just so funny and he says it with such gravitas too
Love his lines lol he's got a bunch of those where he just says something silly or ridiculous but he says it so seriously that you can't help but take it at face value XD
If you’d like to watch a show with a similar group of characters and a completely different, yet still brilliant, vibe, try Arrested Development. Maybe not the best for reactions, but absolutely vital for cultural references. It’s a comedy about a wealthy, out-of-touch family with a distant, Saddam-adjacent patriarch, sad-sack heir, terrifying wire mother, manipulative but ineffective sister with her pathetic golden retriever husband, “first pancake” oldest brother with a pathetic job, and weirdo youngest brother who is strangely adorable.
I think one of the things this show does really well is reflect the fact that all of our characters are almost entirely insulated from 'the real world', so we don't get much more than little glimpses of how employees at Waystar or the general public are feeling about / impacted by the decisions these people are making. If we got any more of that, I think it would ruin the effect of rooting for, then being very disappointed in, whichever character you're currently backing, because they're all genuinely awful people who shouldn't run a yard sale.
1) Dark - I suggest watching this one first as Succession & Mr Robot are kinda similar (not really). So, just to keep things fresh. 2) Mr. Robot x-x-x Kendall: "Greg, I won't buy you a watch, 'coz I'm not your sugar daddy" Tom: "I'll buy you a fucking watch Greg" Subtle. 😂
That woman on the talk show is everything wrong with progressive media figures. She demoralises Kendal who IS doing the right thing. It doesn’t matter how cringe he is, he is in the precipice of possibly taking down one of the worst right wing empires in the world. And she’s concerned with him ironically flashing gang signs for a photo?
It's a really good example of how both the Left and Right have their fair share of instigators and bad actors. But it's also an example of media and marketing and how, at the end of the day, our number one concern is what will make the best headline or get the most clicks. It's like the movie "Nope" and how Jordan Peele shows us our attraction to tragedy and spectacle.

Perfectly said!

Your honest reaction when Kendall says "F the patriarchy" (and a lot of other dumb things that he said) makes me laugh even harder!
Mondale the dog has been there From season one
Really? Dang... somehow I forget about the pupper.... thanks for the info tho!
@@MovieMan101 Dont worry, the show gives him about as much screentime as Shiv and Tom give him attention

Man, I can't get enough of Brian Cox and Logan. He is just so so good at that role

Subtle. 😂
It's so hard being team kids at times. I genuinely love all of them but this season was rough.
Hard agree!

@@MovieMan101 Absolutely, totally agree. Do you keep a record of your reviews and stuff on Letterboxd?
Her ridiculous eyebrow raises and little neck seizures as she spews racist comments one after the other 😂
I will always root for Kendall, he is by far the best character and I don’t see a reason why he couldn’t have some fun sometimes
That's a spoiler!!! Please delete this comment.
