Tense and thrilling episode all the way. Character development reaches an all new level. There is so much in what it is not said, the silences are more powerful than any dialogues. The tension during the dinner scene is palpable, it's an interminable crescendo which implodes at the end in a very subtle way. Incredible acting and beautiful directing. I love Jeremy Strong's acting, minimal yet so intense.

Arguably the best episode of the show to date. I found myself checking the runtime in the hopes of there being more to come, I truly never wanted it to end.

It is the most revealing that the show has ever been, I find the dynamics between the Roy family to be endlessly fascinating and this particular episode took this to an entirely new level. I spoke about Cox in my last review, declaring him as absolutely wondrous. Well, the man has ascended even higher, beyond description. A true craftsman, playing the role of a very layered individual to perfection. Unlike last season, I am beginning to admire Logan's persistence, the sheer force of his power. Even as he slowly alienates each and every member of his family, I, as the viewer, am in awe of his every move. I find myself going back and forth between hating him, then loving him.

Strong was phenomenal yet again. Key development for Kendall, Tom and Shiv, Roman and borderline every member of the family is on display in this episode. I cannot expand without spoiling, but the events of 'Tern Haven' have sent the show in a brand new, and remarkably exciting, direction. I felt and understood each character far more after this episode.

God, I hope this continues. It is a brilliant show, that I hope will continue this brilliant run of material.

This episode was pure gold. The writing is magnificent and the proof of that is how much you can feel the stress that Shiv, Roman and specially Kendall are dealing with. All the characters are very well written but these three are treasure and so are the actors that play them. Emmys and golden globes should give them that credit and if they don't they are idiots.

This episode was just fantastic and i wouldnt be surprised if it won an Emmy. That dinner scene was one of the most fantastic things I've seen on tv recently.

Mostly about a family dinner and several other things. This show is so damn good and so well written; I continuously love Jeremy Strong!

Succession is the best show of 2019. I won't accept the opposite. Is simply.

The writing in this episode is so amazing we actually went back to listen to some sequences again. Absolutely superb. The cast and crew outdid themselves in this episode! Wow!

I think this episode is underrated, it should have more than 9.3. What I have just seen was pure perfection. Just the dinner scene alone makes it one of the greatest episodes of all time. But that tension between the two families is captured amazingly all through from the Roy's family arrival to the Pierce's residence.

Jeremy Strong continues to be a phenomenal actor, he has so much charisma, and he is interesting just by staring at nothing. But I'd give a special credit to Sarah Snook here, it was her best performance so far.

The atmosphere they captured, the social observation, the whole Roy's family dynamic are done perfectly and it got me so involved that I watched with the mouth open. Wow. The writing - WOW. The camera - I love it.

The show is getting better and better when you already have some bonds to the characters that only disgusted you in the beginning of the show. Kendall, Shiv, Logan, and Tom - great character development and performances. Roman and Greg also start to show some really good acting and I'm sure they are gonna nail it as well. I LOVE the show.

This episode was such a treat from beginning to end! This episode does a great job of exploring relevant themes and really shows what kind of familly the Roy's are! By putting them side by side with the Pierce familly we really see both the gab and similarities!

I have all kinds of praise for the dinner scene! Marvelous writing as the tension slowly builds cause you know something is gonna happen! Its scenes like this that makes this show so unique!

The acting is as always amazing! Everybody is doing their best to flesh out their character and show us who they really are!

Once again no idea where we go from here which is what makes me SO excited with so many predictable shows out there!

Never felt this nervous watching anything on tv since the euro finals italy vs england 😬 Simply amazing with all the build up and close shots, just perfect.

This episode is pretty much never talked about alongside some of the best episodes of TV, which is unsurprising to be fair. It's a middle of the season episode with no real major shift in the direction of the story unlike a lot of the most acclaimed episodes which tend to be filled with twists and turns and are often season finales.

But what you have in this episode is to me just perfect. Every single moment is brilliantly thought out by the writers and flawlessly executed by the cast and crew, delivering a story filled with detail, tension and emotional weight.

I can't think of an episode of Succession where we got so much insight into so many characters and it's a credit to the incredible writers of this great show.

And oh my god, the Kendall and Naomi plot line, so damn good.

Can't say enough, 10/10 and one of my favourite episodes ever.

For me, this episode was one of the best TV episodes of any TV show, ever! Bold statement I know but it's just got everything!

10/10 this was tense and fun to watch congratulations to the cast worth watching my guys that dinner scene was majestic filmed this is oscar worthy television and Brian Cox is amazing in the role of logan Jeremy strong second best actor and one of five best actor's alive the other 4 are the family in this show.

As the whole clan descends on that place, those with a conscience can't help but hope for the worst. The Pierce family is so full of itself, that at times they seem as bad as their visitors. For all the niceties and crudities, ultimately it's about the buyout, the deal. We realize that this is a solid news group, but they are super rich and living off the fat of the land, and treat their servants as chattel. The pretend to be nice, but watch those people trying to please a houseful of jerks. It will be interesting to see what ultimately was on the table. Is Shiv still in? What is Tom's role? And what good is Roman under any circumstance.? Other than resident smart ass, what does he contribute? Kendall meets a soulmate which is probably a good thing. Now the battle can begin. They have more chips to play.

I honestly do not like one character in the show besides Greg, the rest are all jerk offs, but I can't stop watching the cringe, it's amazing !

I think this is how super wealthy families really act And it makes me laugh how greed and insecurities can disband a family.

The dinner party scene is so fun to watch.

The plot, character, music, everything is wonderful. I really can not stand some characters specially Roman and Shiv...but they act really well. Logan and Kandall are being so lovely this season.

Greetings from Lithuania.

5th episode of season 4 "Succession" was pure excellence in writing, acting and storytelling. What we are absolving in "Succession" is a highly disfunction family and Tern Haven proved it to be correct. Then writing of this particular episode was amazing - so many dialogs yet everything simply connects. At the end i wanted more. And i believe i will get more in upcoming episodes, but so far with 5 episodes gone in season 2 i can only say that its a big improvement over season 1 so far. I did enjoyed season 1 first half but not as much as season 2. So far things are going very well here.
