*Contains spoilers for Succession season 3, episode 1*

HBO’s Succession is finally back on our screens and reaction to the much-hyped season 3 premiere has been extremely positive – which bodes well for the rest of this new season.

Viewers will remember that season two drew to a close in dramatic circumstances when Kendall Roy (Jeremy Strong) appeared set to take the fall for some dodgy dealings, only to instead throw his father under the proverbial bus in the most public way possible.

The first episode of the third season saw Kendall and his media mogul father Logan (Brian Cox) at war, but it was a reference back to the first season that proved to have the biggest impact on fans, as Kendall – who was responsible for the drowning death of a waiter – teased Greg (Nicholas Braun) with the possibility that he might be a killer.
