- Quotes
Connor Roy: This family's broken. And that has consequences. A missed phone call today, a couple dozen kids lose their jobs in China. Butterfly wings, but bigger, huge wings. Like a pterodactyl, or the Smithsonian. So...
[raises glass in toast]
Connor Roy: ... let's fix our wings.
Roman Roy: Barely comprehensible.

Featured review
An aftermath, and something of a reset.
Which Side Are You On? Is the first game-changer episode of Succession narratively, meaning Austerlitz has to be a little quieter, seeing as the show needs to spend time on build-up in order to deliver something else surprising later on. But it functions very well as an episode about the aftermath of the last episode's events. You couldn't quite call it a breather episode, because it's still intense and squirm-inducing to some extent; just not as intense as the previous week's nail-biter of an episode.
Kendall and Shiv have the most important storylines here narratively, so far as future episodes are concerned, with the dynamic between Roman and Logan also being interesting (and more understated, at least for now). It's a rock solid episode, which is about the "worst" thing you can say about most Succession episodes from this point onwards.
Also, even though Gregg annoys me a little sometimes, I'll have to admit that his presence in this episode was actually missed!
