We are back for Season 2! We're reacting to Succession Season 2, Episode 1: “The Summer Palace.” Picking up just 48 hours after the events of the wedding, we find a completely broken Kendall Roy being pulled out of rehab to clean up his father's mess.
The entire family is summoned to the Hamptons, but the "Summer Palace" is rotting from the inside out—literally. As the Roys endure the stench and each other, Logan begins the process of choosing a new successor, leading to a private conversation that changes the entire trajectory of the series.
Join us as we react to Kendall’s zombie-like state, the incredibly awkward family dinner, the "dead raccoon" metaphor, and the massive secret offer that Logan makes to Shiv.
