Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Frank describes himself as "an attendant lord... to swell a scene or two" he is quoting T. S. Eliot's poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock."
- GoofsLogan loses consciousness and to make a diagnosis a CT scan is made. The doctor later comes to explain that there is a deeply situated hemorrhage of the brain and that operation is not an option. However, the CT scan that is briefly shown shows no hemorrhage but quite a normal brain. This does not rule out an ischemic event (brain infarction) because in ischemia changes in the CT scan usually appear after a few days as a dark area. An ischemic event is usually not accompanied by loss of consciousness.

Featured review
If a show's worst episode is still this good, you know it's doing something right.
The second episode of Succession is one of the rare times in the series where things might feel a little too slow. I remember it being pretty good the first time around, but the second time was a little patience-testing in a way I didn't feel with rewatching the first episode.
All the main characters are confined to a hospital for the whole episode, which might work better if we knew them and the dynamics were a little more vibrant. But there's still a lot of groundwork and side characters to be established here, and it's all just a bit too static and repetitive.
The ending of the episode is great, and there are a handful of funny moments throughout. Logan's presence is missed, but the writing and all the other performances are solid. Not up to the show's soon-to-be-established standard, but as far as a "growing pains" episode early in a show's run goes, this is still pretty excellent, all things considered.
