Succession - - Season 2- Episode 1

The episode opens not with a bang, but with a whimper of psychological terror. We find Kendall Roy (Jeremy Strong) in the aftermath of the Season 1 finale’s car accident—a hit-and-run that left a young waiter dead. Kendall is a ghost. He shuffles through his father’s apartment in a fugue state, his designer suits replaced by a blank gray hoodie. He is silent, dissociated, and utterly broken. The show’s usual rapid-fire banter is replaced by the oppressive hum of dread.
