The first forty-five minutes here at times felt frustratingly bereft of rhythm: the video reel flashbacks to you-know-who a bit out of the blue. The Tom-Shiv-Matsson weirdness slightly overplayed.

Connor and Greg, meanwhile – Succession’s most reliable suppliers of comic relief – were, respectively, nowhere to be seen and reduced to peripheral character status.
