One of the storylines in 'Succession Season 3 Episode 5 was around Greg (Nicholas Braun) and his decision to side with Logan (Brian Cox) that saw him being burned by Kendall. This along with the fact that his grandfather was writing off the entirety of his estate to Greenpeace further compounded his woes. 'Even my part?" asks Greg, when he hears about the Greenpeace donation. "That was the first part," says Ewan, who is livid that Greg sided with Logan’s “gang of crapulous shils”.

This had Twitter in splits as they laughed at Greg's predicament. "Cousin Greg is so fucking worthless, I’m glad Logan pressed his ass #Succession," one of the comments read. "Oh damn Greg he’s gotta do something desperate at this point. That or this will push him to man up and do something principled for once #Succession #SuccessionHBO," another fan wrote. "cousin Greg is the king of second-hand embarrassment. #Succession," a comment read.

"I so deeply don't understand why Greg didn't just use his "experience" to get a NORMAL job, probably paying the same, with a boss that doesn't throw things at him, and not forfeit his 250 million? And why is he surprised now? #succession smdh," one of the fans wrote. The bullying had fans sharing their two cents. "This is so realistic. Look at how Tom is viewed as a total putz, but whenever he isolates Cousin Greg, he bullies him to establish some sort of dominance since no one else respects him. I've seen this in action. #Succession #SuccessionHBO SE1:E2," a fan recollected.

Meanwhile, the Greg-bashing continued. "Greg is so dumb and annoying it hurts my head. #Succession #SuccessionHBO," a fan commented. "Greg finally getting his ass handed to him for being a wishy-washy moron. #Succession" another fan opined. And some quips followed too. "Greg is fucked but he is going to be back stronger than a 90's trend #Succession."
