Closing with Shiv was absolute perfection and Sarah’s performance was phenomenal

I love how Shiv’s dress incorporates the colors of her brothers’ outfits to signify that the three siblings are finally working with each other instead of competing against each other. It’s details like this that make the show worth rewatching.

3 minutes of pure betrayal. Imagine that first your mother betrays you and then your husband. Sarah Snook deserved all the awards.

I’m not even kidding when I say that Succession is the closest thing we have to modern day Shakespeare. Who else can balance comedy, drama, and tragedy so well? Every character and every scene is so layered and complex and each actor brings their own interpretations to their performance, it all blends so beautifully.

It saddens me that Sarah Snook's performance being overlooked. She is a great actress and her performance gives me goosebumps everytime. She def deserved that Emmy.

Matthew Mcfayden is such a master. Tom is, to me, one of the best and most unique characters in TV. His performance is truly astonishing.

Whoever is the casting director for this show, deserves all the awards in the world.

I’m so glad that this is how this season ended. I got goosebumps even rewatching this scene. Sarah’s acting was phenomenal.

7:27 I love this piece of acting from Sarah Snook. Even though Shiv (wrongly) knows the siblings control the supermajority and have the upper hand, she struggles to stand up to her imposing father. Snook takes an extra moment of pause, swallows hard and blurts everything in one go as if somehow summoning some courage to stand up to Logan.

Desperately hoping for Sarah and Matthew to take home their much deserved Emmys for this season. Two of the best characters and actors on the show

Ngl that shot of Tom in the door frame and Shiv's realization that he betrayed her gave me The Godfather ending vibes. A masterpiece of cinematography.

I’m so captivated by Shiv, she’s so stunning yet spiky, cruel yet somehow soft. Actually, that’s all of the Roy kids no?

I still wanna know the backstory re Shiv and Tom's relationship...in the first Season there was an ever so slight mention of Shiv being in a bad place and Tom coming to her rescue, but then nothing was ever mentioned. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

One of the coldest lines from Shiv is when she tells Tom “I may not love you, but I do love you.”

I had absolutely no idea she was australian, her american accent is flawless. get her that emmy!

@haute03 2 years ago

That look Shiv gives when she sees the gesture between Logan and Tom was giving ,"Et tu, Brute?" Fantastic.

Matthew McFadden has the most elegant and lovely voice, both in his natural accent and his American accent.

To see Roy Snr hurriedly leave the room to attend to the next piece of business encapsulates the narcissist that is Logan Roy. Brilliant writing, direction and actors all!

To me, the foreshadowing of his betrayal was Tom's meeting with Kendall in the diner, when Kendall says Tom has to break out of his mould to earn Shiv's respect. We'll see how that flies.
