Succession Season 4 — Spoilers Included

An actor who never got the credit he deserved. At 82, still a force. Jeremy Strong great in his eulogy too.

 

I am definitely going to watch the episode again. Kendall is trying to turn into Logan.

 

He's definitely the crotchety old dude in his lawn chair in the 70's yelling "GET OFF MY LAWN! DO YOU LIVE HERE?!?!" to us youngsters. (and who got a secret bag of my buddy's dog stuff on his doorstep )

 

Fun fact I saw on Vulture - Sally Ann (Lady Caroline’s Kerry) was played by Brian Cox’s real life wife.

 

Roman’s journey in that episode was something. Just such a damaged character.

 

And a friend told me that he read that Cox insisted on being on set during the funeral scene so that the ghost of his character would be in the church.

 

His son also played Watson in my favorite childhood film: Young Sherlock Holmes

 

I read he wanted to be there so fans wouldn’t speculate that it was his funeral. Apparently he tromped around the graveyard a little as well.

 

I can only imagine what it did to Jeremy Strong’s method acting.

 

Strong must have wondered why he wasn’t really dead, or at least in the casket.

 

Cat Food Ozymandius is such a great little off the cuff line.

Rewatching, there are so many great little moments. For example, Roman getting all cocky and ambitious with Frank before the funeral starts and Frank basically muttering his disapproval. Then when Roman is struggling as he stands up to deliver the eulogy, Frank in a genuine moment of compassion says “you OK son?” Roman has to be a dick and say “I pre-grieved and not your son”.

 

Hugo's "Bow wow wow" is the best line of the entire season.
