A very mixed selection of positives can be taken from this episode.
'Safe Room' manages to include some the series' most vulnerable and emotionally-dense material, specifically the sequence at its end, and some of its most hilarious, gut-busting comedy. The chemistry between Tom and Greg is incredible to watch. Both are wonderful comics, who manage to blend some of Succession's most dramatic sequences with the right amount of sheer hilarity.
I really believe that the show is coming into its own. These characters often speak more with their bodies than their mouths, and there is a particular scene featuring Shiv, Kendall and Logan that exemplifies this perfectly. It is storytelling through virtually everything besides the dialogue, yet the writing is still stellar.
Cox is a marvel. A true master who reveals all the viewer needs to know simply with his eyes. Vulnerable, tense, revealing - all can be used as descriptors for this episode. This season is turning out to be quite the ride.
