it are you excited about this new season let's talk about it all in the comments below so for
me personally i'm so excited to be covering the show i've watched this show since season one every
single episode i recently binged all of season one and season two in the last couple weekends just
to kind of catch myself back up get back into the thick of things with the logan situation and kendo
and the roy family as a whole and i am just so locked in right now like i remember every single
plot every single storyline so i am i want to be the expert on this show every single sunday of
course talking about it with you all so again mark your calendar every single sunday secession we're
gonna be breaking it down but this episode was fantastic whose side are you on i'm picking for
kendall guys i am a kindle fan i mean the [ __ ] that he did in season one and just seeing him just
be so deflated in season two and just seeing him that big bombshell he dropped on everyone in the
finale i'm all about it shiv who she's gonna lean towards obviously conor's a wild card rome i think
he's gonna stay with his dad but it's just so much about this first episode that i love and i'm just
so excited to be back with this fantastic show the best show on television but again let me know your
thoughts on the show on the premiere and let's talk about it so let's break down this episode one
as we open up with father and son again literally minutes before i start watching episode one of
season three i had just watched the finale of season two i just want to know from you
all cause we really didn't address it in the finale nor did we address in this first season
was ken's move his power move this bombshell of calling out logan and calling out everything
of him covering up and his uh negligence to the situation with the cruises was it premeditated or
did logan when he put his son under the bus is that when kendall said i have to defend myself
i have to protect myself i have to go after my dad how do you all feel about that was it premeditated
was it something that just came out of the blue once he was thrown on the bus just let me know
your thoughts on that but neither here nor there again that bombshell last season it gave me chills
seeing it for the second time and we're preparing for war as kendall's in the bathroom getting ready
for war but we got to talk about his dad here for a second as he lands and it is so it's been
so long since we've seen logan be off keel like he doesn't have a plan like you can clearly see
throughout this episode and especially in this scene here that bombshell that his son threw on
him after thinking his son was a traitor in season one bringing him back in because he held that
kid's death over his head which we'll talk about that in this review but it's just like seeing
the legend logan roy just being off kill being off his throne it's just something to see like
he said we haven't seen this since season one with him having that heart attack but nonetheless
he made the killer move logan said that his son keno didn't have the killer move and if he
this is a killer move if i've ever seen one so seeing them go back and forth this season
will be a sight to see and again kendall makes his way out of the bathroom and he's ready for
war and i'm so glad to be covering the show because i don't think this gets enough praise
the intro the intro of secession is the best intro that i've heard in years it's one of my favorite
intros like it is my favorite intro on current television and it just gets me in the mood and i'm
like let's go to war baby so we opened up and one of my favorite characters is greg without a doubt
greg and seeing tom on screen is some of the best stuff on television and if they ever do a spin-off
with those characters i'm all about it but leave it to greg no comments no comments as catalina's
like you don't have to say no comment greg just don't comment again i just love the comedy beats
in this show and the drama obviously is fantastic but greg one of my favorite characters but it's
time to pick sides again we see catalina who's been there since season one she's kind of bounced
on the fence she's like she happened to be with kendall during the news so kendall's like i don't
need any loose loose ends i don't need any half foot in half foot out you're either with me or
against me so he kicks her out of the truck and it's leaving right now jess kendall and
my boy greg versus logan aka thanos who do you think is going to win let me know your thoughts
in the comments but again is that a good team that uh kendall has right now i think the secret weapon
is great because we know he had those documents that he kept since season one he always said he
wanted to keep that as a contingency when tom thought that he burned him he took him and put
him in his back pocket telling you greg might be an idiot he's a smart idiot though and it's
like i said greg is my boy but time to see more of that family drama as chev and rome
are disgusted amongst himself is their dad toast is it time for the reign of logan roy to meet
his match and it's time for him to retire time for him to maybe get locked up in jail i don't
know but they're having that discussion and this is the one of many discussions that i think shiv
in this premier episode she's going to end up joining kendall because there's many many many
examples that we've seen throughout the first two seasons but in particularly in this episode
her father doesn't believe in her so why would she have continue to protect her father to root
for her father if he doesn't believe in her and that's one example when they're having that
discussion about the toast as rome as clearly rome is just like a scared boy and he has to go
by the side of his dad but i'm telling you that would be something to see if roman ever leaves
his dad to join the side of kendall which i'm telling you if the family the kids the children
can get on the same page they could take out their dad or not necessarily take them out but they can
have some more control that they wanted to because it's always so fascinating seeing those
grown ass adults with their own business moves their own families of a certain extent how scared
and how little they feel they feel when they're around their dad so if they can just team up
they can push each other up but again that's the that's the beauty of the show they all have their
own self-interest and they can never be on the same page but as we go into this conversation as
kendall gets the call from his dad and we saw this in the preview when he's talking about
grinding his bones and kendall has his rator his his repuddle back to his dad all that stuff is
hilarious but again it's the killer card it's that killer mindset that we haven't seen since season
one for kindle well i should say take that back because kendall was pretty killer in season two
when he was given demands from his dad and firing all of lawrence's people and all that stuff so he
has that instinct but now he has that confidence he has that swagger that we haven't seen since
season one but the question at hand is again going to the the boy situation of season one will
logan ever use that against kendall we know that he didn't intentionally kill the boy in the season
one finale but he killed him he got away with murder is logan going to use that card at all
in this season because if he does let's be honest he covered it up for his son so he has his hands
dirty in a situation too but let me know in the comments will logan hold that death over kindle
will that make its way out to the media let me know your thoughts on that but moving on we see
roman has plans to destroy his brother and shiv this is another example of shiv not really being
on the same page with rome and with her father she's like i don't think that's the best idea to
come at him right now but logan's like okay well we need to go to the presidency we need to go to
the president we need to get our government officials on our side but moving on to my
boy ken as he makes his power moves throughout the episode he calls frank which we know him
and frank have a really great relationship and he doesn't have frank's talk but he says frank
which we all knew they have the best relationship when the time comes and i start this new company
i want you to be my side guy i want you to be on my team when that happens so i think frank will
be making a move pretty soon but if they try to call jerry she's on the phone with the president
and he even calls shiv but she hangs up on him but again seeing kendall being it's like playing chess
making his chess moves is a very very smart move at this point he has a lot more people to call
again who will join his team i can't wait to find out but it sounds like most of the
higher-ups and the uh in the government are siding with logan for the moment but there
are some people that are against him so again it'll be really interesting to see these parties
who again who's going to pick the civil war who's going to go on who's side but i think right now
most of the government is siding with logan but how much longer will they be doing that but
gotta check in i'm a boy greg who is uh checking the social media temperature on
kindle and talking about the pope following him or whatnot but you know kendall brings up
the love card he's in love with naomi and i don't know how i feel about naomi still is she
obviously she's part of the pierce family and has her drug issues that she knows about which brings
up you know raya will she be making an appearance in the season holly hunter's character but
i don't know man there's something about naomi that just kind of feels a little bit off i don't
know if she has any ties to sandy and stewie situation but right now kendall he's head over
heels for this woman but i'm gonna keep my eye on naomi for now but again going back to just seeing
logan in this episode him being off his game again not seeing him since season one being like
completely lost being off keel it's like seeing darth vader uh after returning a jedi like him
not have before he made the change obviously returning jedi like him not having answers not
being menacing not being scary that's what it was like seeing logan in this episode for me as he
doesn't have any plans throughout this entire episode which is just like mind-boggling but
we get a very awkward moment between our favorite couple and that's uh shiv and tom as they say
they're goodbyes and they're going on different planes at this point and again my question for
you all in regards to how this season's going to play out especially with these two characters
by the end of the season will they still be married because obviously tom brought it up to
her in the finale last year he's not comfortable with an open marriage especially the way that she
threw him at him at the altar on the their wedding night that she wants to have an open marriage but
will tom and shiv be together by the end of the season will they be on the same side will she be
on kindle's tie will tom be on uh you know logan's side will be reversed let me know your thoughts on
who side who is going to be on especially with our power couple there but having speaking of
power couple i haven't seen this character in a while rava who is obviously the ex-wife of
ken uh as she is allowing him to use his place is kind of like a hideout spot uh but again
seeing her back in the mix is really cool because i love seeing characters from the first season she
was a really interesting character no less but again he's telling her that he made this power
move more or less obviously for his own reasons but also because he wants to protect his family
and we can't forget season one grandpa logan hit his son with that can so there's some animosity
there no doubt so it's really interesting to see how they're gonna play into the season and him
having his own family creating his own legacy and not being in the shadow of his father but
the whole conversation gets brought up in regards to uh this lisa arthur character who's a very
well-known lawyer we see that kendall wants her we see that logan wants her and we're going to
talk about who she decides to represent a little bit later but again it's wartime as we're seeing
logan just again no plan he's just like i need someone to temporarily step in a ceo i can't
i'm gonna step down for a little bit but who is it gonna be is gonna be carl as he puts his
name in the mix we see frank put his name in the mix we see rome tries to put his name in
the mix but ultimately he throws in jerry which that relationship i don't know if they're gonna
go that route at all they've been playing with it since season two but just seeing um calling shiv
and shiv like i wanna do it i wanna take on this mantle but knowing that she doesn't get it this
is another example of why she is getting closer and closer to being on her brother's side but
it's back to check in with my boy greg as he is cancelling his mom's credit cards and
she's buying into a bunch of nonsense stuff which is another storyline to look forward to
will his grandfather completely cut him off since he's still working with the the family
it'll be really interesting to see where all that goes but i just love greg just seeing his point
of view on situations the way he carries himself and again he's a smart idiot i i know greg is the
the butt of the jokes and it's always the the last man to know things but he's smart man and i think
he's smart to pick kendall's side it might blow up in his face but again i'm always rooting for
my boy greg but neither here nor there back to ken again man i really enjoy seeing this version
of ken seeing him last season being a puppy dog and just literally doing whatever his father says
having no emotions just being emotionalist because obviously he killed someone he knows that that
was covered up but he also know that his plans of being the man that he wants to be was completely
undercut by him because of the decisions he made so seeing this version of ken which we haven't
seen this confident swagger you know happy going person since season one it was really fun to see
in this episode for me but i'm not gonna lie it is tricky to see this confident kim because we
know when he has as much confidence sometimes it leads down that path of drugs and regret and
bad decisions so hopefully he can find a way to balance himself out in this season but we see rome
again making his name into the into the mix but he ultimately brings up jerry which ultimately is
dead saying rome he's out of the runnings because he doesn't have the spine he doesn't have that
killer instinct that needs to be there for that ceo position but we go back to the situation at
hand with who's going to represent who where we see shiv again she wants to disposition she's
trying to get this lawyer on her dad's side which she ultimately doesn't side with her
and we even see shiv she says hey i need to protect myself can you represent me she shoots
her down because unfortunately kendall has already gotten her ears she will be representing kendall
and again just seeing them making these moves who's going to pick who and this was another
example of shiv she's like my brother's making good moves and i think she's gonna be making that
move to representing or being on the side of her brother sooner rather than later but again seeing
that whole subplot of jerry and rome as rome you know jerry's going to be it she's going to
be the temporary ceo at the moment and you know we see rome tells shiv the news and sings her a
song which again i think it was at that moment she was like you know what just like we saw kendall do
last year with her dad throwing him under the bus i think when shiv knew that that her dad picked
jerry over her that was her moment to say i'm wiping my hands clean of it and i think she's
going to make her way to represent her brother to take her dad down which would be a very
very tough matchup for mr logan to go against the smartest kid in re in a shiv and having the most
like business oriented and most business savvy person them teaming up put rome in the mix get
connor in there somehow it's looking like a power team if it goes that route but again my boy can
again that confidence sometimes clouds his judgment because you talk about awkward
he's in his ex-wife's house he brings in his new girlfriend while meeting this powerful
lawyer again in his ex's house this is the true definition of mixing business with pleasure and
the ken is just like again what are you thinking man but hey to each their own at that moment and
again you got to love the moment with greg as he's opened up the bottle of wine that rev didn't want
him to open because he was given orders by ken's new girlfriend and again the moment of that comedy
and the awkwardness is just so fantastic but again can we trust naomi and ken making this move and
fall in love with the pierce family we'll see if they'll bite him in the ass later in the season
but wrapping up this episode as logan learns that lisa will be which again not even mentioned one
of my favorite actress going up shania lathan playing this character is going to be fantastic
as the lawyer i'm a big fan of hers and i can't wait to see what she adds to the show and all the
new characters alexander skarsgard is going to be in this season and so many other new players
i hope that we get some of the players that we got from previous season like holly hunter but
i'm really excited to see what lisa brings to the table but again we see logan in an episode walking
outside his hands are no longer on the wheels he doesn't have control of his narrative and
end of the episode one of season three which again i thought was fantastic seeing the power moves by
kendall seeing the confidence that kendall has seen some of the bad decisions mixing business
with pleasure he seems to be on a good path but we know sometimes when he's on a high he can get
really low so it'll be really interesting to see how kendall will wind up in this season will his
dad use the that murder or use that death of over his head will he use that as a power move at some
point because again he's attached to it too he covered it up so it'll be interesting to see what
logan decides to use on his son who will siobhan pick who will conor pick who will roam pick masha
is she still in the mix like i said holly hunter will she come back stewie and sandy how will they
plan to this season i don't know but i could not wait to find out i am so excited the show is back
i love these characters i love the narrative i love the drama i love the comedy and this is the
