The Cast of ‘Succession’ Talk Red Flags, Embracing Their Characters, and The Ever-Changing Script

[@BacchusAurelius-yj4mb]

Kieran's mannerisms really define Roman as a character, his awkward posture and dry humor perfectly capture the spoiled brat/abused child dynamic. What a talented actor, he makes me hate and love Roman like I would a brother or close friend 💯

[@adimeter]

Shows the miracle of really good acting as 'Kieran' is in real life is such an upbeat fellow.

[@JamieBarrington]

This genre has never been my type of show (I usually stick with Sci-fi and Fantasy), but after hearing all the accolades, I finally gave it a chance earlier this year.... And WOW! I was blown away! It definitely lives up to the hype. Just incredible, smart writing and the acting is masterclass. I'm so glad I finally watched it. Last week's episode (S04E03) was on a whole other level. I feel like that episode just secured Emmys for these talented actors. They earned it!

Wow they actually interviewed Gerri properly. Loved hearing that take about women and internalized misogyny in the workplace

This! She's not just background! I was surprised she wasn't supposed to continue past Season 1, so glad they kept her.

@@susanatempel2463Absolutely! Gerri is such an essential character in the whole story, adding more layers and depths to the show. J. Smith Cameron really is so under appreciated, she played that role to perfection.

[@hellogoditsmesara3569]

Kieran’s insight into Roman is just to well thought through and fascinating

[@adimeter]

Jerry is right. A show this well written and well acted comes along once in a while. Breaking Bad 2008, and the Wire 2002, is all I can think of in recent times. Dialog and cinematography are all so wonderful.

[@jacobparker1105]

Completely agree. My top list is wire 1 succession 2 breaking bad 3. I’d say Game of Thrones would be on that level if it weren’t for how wrong it went at the end.

[@matthewlinscott7055]

I so desperately want Greg to “win”, that when she talked about the his arc being “the greatest villain origin story ever” I audibly squealed. 😂

[@fidansuleymanova5436]

They all empathized a lot with their character, like us in normal life, we judge others and can not see our faults. I can see Logan's vision, but ignoring Connor on that level as a father was pure badness.

[@camilabritoo]

great interview! I can't believe succession is ending, my heart is broke

[@leftofcenter4]

HBO should produce a show about the early life of Logan Roy: showing Logan in the years when he put conners mom in a mental facility and when he married 2nd wife and when the kids were very young but there should be flash backs to Logan’s childhood and formidable years with his brother and whatever went down with Logan’s sister sort of like the God father part 2 flashbacks. Showing Logan’s uncle beating him forming his emotional framework for life and how he became the person we see in succession

[@rociopppp]

Love this interview so much!! So sad to say goodbye to these characters

[@susanatempel2463]

Great interviews! Loved Kieran's and Brian's the most. You always have the best questions that make them think a bit and that just gives them more to provide. Look forward to more from you!

I loved that it ended up small in the end. It was on their terms. Willa wanted that from the beginning and Logan never really cared enough about Connor to even attend. Their small moment to go forward with it without such a crowd was pretty wholesome and beautiful.

I actually don't understand why the three siblings call him Cousin Greg sometimes because he is actually their nephew. I guess it just sounds better.

[@notmedicgoddess911]

​​@@akashreddy2928 Seriously, he's actually their 2nd cousin, or 1st cousin once removed. His grandfather is their father's brother. Greg's mother and the 4 Roy siblings are 1st cousins. He'd only truly be their nephew if he was the child of one of the 4 siblings.

I agree. Out of all the characters, Greg is the only one, who in my opinion has no redeemable qualities. He is the embodiment of raging mediocrity, the perfect conduit for the most despicable evil, and not even realizing it.

[@cjlaity1]

I don't know what the big deal about this show is. I kept hearing about how great it is so I bought the first season on DVD. I made it through six and a half episodes before I just couldn't take it anymore. The writing is horrible, the acting is almost as bad, none of the characters are likeable, I do not believe for a second these people actually run a huge media conglomerate or if they did that the public would care that much about them, everyone is just ugly.

I don’t feel like it actually picked up until after S1 E10. That’s when repercussions start to echo across the relationships and family. S1 is really just all exposition for the rest of the show. Succession is a heady show; It is also a psychological and strategic “study” to follow. If that doesn’t appeal to you, I understand if you don’t like it. I don’t think anyone disputes the characters are all terrible people.
