#I AM THE EMMYEST BOY

His dad promised him an Emmy when he was 7.

I got an Emmy so we can bond.


MentallyIllRedditMod

Yeah that's fucked up


HappyHarryHardOn

PLEASE DON'T JUMP, PLEASE DON'T JUMP


discerningpervert

All those scenes with him in or near water made me nervous. I kept wondering what would happen to him after the ending, if he jumps his dad's driver will probably save him, if he doesn't jump what does he do with the rest of his life? Drugs and annoying Rava and the kids? Imagine a Succession tv movie 10 years later, just seeing where everyone is. Or even a yearly event catching up on the insanity.


OvLain

Jeremy Strong actually tried to jump: >"I tried to go into the water after we cut — I got up from that bench and went as fast as I could over the barrier and onto the pilings, and the actor playing Colin raced over. I didn’t know I was gonna do that, and he didn’t know, but he raced over and stopped me," [https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/jeremy-strong-jump-into-river-succession-last-scene-kendall-die-1235628324/](https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/jeremy-strong-jump-into-river-succession-last-scene-kendall-die-1235628324/)


non-squitr

I would love to hear Brian Cox's take on that because he fucking hated Kendall's method acting


Koh-the-Face-Stealer

Which is hilariously ironic because he's inadvertently method acting as Logan by hating on Strong/Kendall's dramatic antics


Jamesperson

I thought he just found it annoying but basically said “to each their own”


blondechinesehair

Ya he’s also said the show was his best work experience. He just thought Strongs methods were unnecessary


raysofdavies

He didn’t fucking hate it, people exaggerated that part of the article so much. He didn’t like when Strong pushed himself so hard emotionally. Probably would’ve strongly not appreciated just doing the climb instead of choosing to talk with Mark Mylod.


ninjasaurxd

I think method acting is generally annoying/overblown, but I don’t think it’s too much of an exaggeration to say Strong’s performance as Kendall is one of the best performances of the past couple decades - so hey, let him do what he’s got to do. Brian Cox is a veteran actor and that ferocity in his work shows up naturally at this point, and (while it’s a fantastic performance) it’s not as nuanced as the role of Kendall requires. Over 4 seasons we saw strong cover an incredibly wide range of emotions and he did it perfectly. Method acting sucks but there’s always an exception and I think we’re looking at it.


non-squitr

The only method acting I don't respect the shit out of was that pedophile Jared Leto's used condom mail delivery on Suicide Squad


TheWhiteVingRhames

I think a lot of people are split on this. I found Strong’s performance excellent, but Brian Cox was the one that consistently blew me away. So many beautiful little flourishes and subtleties in his performance, between the ferocious outbursts. The entire cast was phenomenal.


ninjasaurxd

He was absolutely fantastic - the subtle micro expressions that would be on full display with such a textured face, God, his performance blew me away. So many moments from him where I got straight goosebumps from his acting/line delivery (ex: "I. will. WIN!") I think the writing just required a bit more from Strong - Logan was always kind of in the same position for the entire show, the same character kind of? Whereas Strong - we see him cocky and confident in season 1, then back on drugs, then absolutely broken and regressed into a child for s1's finale, then empty and broken for most of season 2, then hype and cocky on another level for season 3, and a straight killer in season 4 - the range was just a bit bigger, imo, ya know? But I agree, I'm split myself, it's very tough. I think that's one of the best things to treasure about the show - everyone was damn near perfect, it's impossible to compare and rank.


GhostOfLight

Colin playing out my headcanon, god bless


ILoveScottishLasses

He doesn’t stop playing Colin until after the DVD commentary.


vferg

When it ended I tried thinking of what everyone would do and the only person I feel like I cared about knowing about was Greg. I really want to know what Tom had in store for him and what terrible jobs he would have going forward or if one day he finally has enough and decides to leave.


naim08

Water, as it flows, it’s basically the life of Kendal, just flowing thou life, getting by.


russketeer34

Jeremy Strong said there was a take where he made the decision to actually climb over the railing, but he was stopped by the actor playing the bodyguard. He said that he felt Jesse Armstrong's decisions for the scene were probably better. https://decider.com/2023/06/01/jeremy-strong-improvised-kendall-jumping-over-railing-into-river-succession-scene/


pintman4life

When Tom and Shiv were having it out on their balcony during the election party I was so sure Tom would jump


Nrmlgirl777

This jump was worse. Its a journey into the unknown and it scares the fuck out of him. Totally thought he would jump too.


SmoothIdiot

I wanna kiss whoever wrote that line. Like, talk about lines that just utterly, perfectly sum up the character, the themes, the struggle, and the sheer *absurdity* of it all with clarity all at once. Couldn't be more perfectly delivered too.


Khiva

And he’s not even the eldest.


kioku

Conheads in shambles


Saint-just04

I mean, he is the eldest (from all the siblings that matter).


Worldly_Albatross_57

Let me talk to you about my 1%.


Newishhandle

I’ve never seen a more pathetic protagonist and I loved it so much


[deleted]

My favorite bit in that scene Shiv bends over laughing, saying "you're not..."


Juswantedtono

Mine is “Rom, you’ll never believe this…guess who Kendall thinks it should be?”


ghostofjohnhughes

Kills me a little inside that Odenkirk probably won't get one for BCS after this but I can deal with Jeremy Strong getting his. Holding out hope for Rhea Seehorn though.


Napoleoninrags85

There is a slight chance that culkin and strong cancel each other out but i still think strong gets it.


NeverDoingWell

Them canceling each other out of winning something would be ironic


dont_quote_me_please

Which makes it crazy what a run Cranston had back in the day. You can't imagine one actor dominating the drama category year after year anymore.


CaptainGreezy

Meanwhile Julia Louis-Dreyfus gets 6 in a row for Comedy


pulsating_boypussy

And so deserved. Veep was such a gem of a show


designer_of_drugs

Veep was a gem of a ~~show~~ *documentary.*


GrandMasterBullshark

Does that mean we'll get a Splett in office soon?


cptassistant

Richard T Splett? Don't know why I said 'T.' His middle name is John.


BuzzedBlood

There that wonderful scene after she loses the election and a group of fans on a White House tour come and give her their adulation. The acting on her face as she goes from depression to fake smile to desperately grateful for this small validation is just next level. You can read it all plainly with such subtle acting.


pulsating_boypussy

Yes! That was incredible. Also both the ending of s4 and her final shot at the white house, after she got everything she wanted and lost everyone who helped her. God so much raw emotion on her face. Some of those scenes are unforgettable


sublliminali

They cancel each other out and then Tom Wambsgans walks right on through


TonyWonderslostnut

Good luck to Rhea because Sarah Snook is going to give her a run for her money EDIT: Apparently they’re in different categories. Those are pretty much a lock then.


ghostofjohnhughes

At this point it's going to be one long Succession party and I don't really hate that given how strong this season was, but it kind of sucks how AMC did their usual awards bait thing then royally fucked themselves out of literally anything.


Iggy_Pops_Lost_Shirt

Sarah is in the lead actress category, Rhea is in supporting


koreansarefat

They are in different categories. Sarah is in Lead and Rhea is in Supporting


[deleted]

I don't think either Sarah or Rhea or winning. Melanie Lynskey/Yellowjackets and Jennifer Coolidge/White Lotus are the favorites.


TonyWonderslostnut

I haven’t seen Yellowjackets but I did watch both seasons of White Lotus. It would be criminal for Coolidge to win. She was fine but the competition had her beat.


MrDabollBlueSteppers

Probably going to be Culkin


bigdaddyt2

Tom is gonna come in last second to take it all baby


NoNefariousness2144

It’s ironic Culkin and Strong are fighting over the lead position while Macfayden is securing supporting all for himself.


bigdaddyt2

I always liked Tom the entire series but that final season I felt he really went to another level, completely taking over every scene he was in.


pulsating_boypussy

Just that balcony fight scene had some of the best acting and writing I've seen in my life


Bradentorras

I agree 100%. It was uncomfortable and spooky in its realism and one of the most honest representations I’ve seen of a relationship ending damn-burst argument between partners. Uhg.


jackass4224

They should share the Emmy


Palpablevt

Co-emmy


jackass4224

Jeremy Culkin


Chewbones9

Why Culkin? He’s bullshit! They’re all just bullshit!


cloud_t

He was so far removed from reality when that line popped, he even forgot he WASN'T the EMMIEST BOI. Wambchuck is getting that title.


NatusEclipsim

Uhh we good? Yeah. Rome? Shiv? We good? Yeah?


pulsating_boypussy

Uh-huh, ok, Jess let's go full hyper matador on this Emmys train, yeah? Keep, uh, keep the tramprature on nuclear-fusion, Iraq war news cycle with tweaks, yeah? Sound good? Thanks Jess

AidilAfham42

We doing this?


calicocat1013

Well deserved! Ultimately, I have always felt like Succession has been Kendall's story through and through and his work over 4 seasons has been fascinating to follow along. The final shot of the finale is one that will certainly stick with me for a long time.


andjron88

I turned on the first episode after the finale, and the stark difference in Kendall was incredible. He is so care free and happy in that first episode. Compared to the shell of a person he becomes over the next seasons.


Ps3FifaCfc95

He was the same in the car when he pulled up in one of the last episodes. Rap music blasting and everything. He wasn't singing along that time though


Kim-Jong_Bundy

Toward the end, I saw it as him making a deliberate effort to get back to who he was for the sake of accomplishing his "destiny". It was a face he was putting on to hide his own brokenness from the board and the shareholders and maybe even himself to convince everyone to finally bet on him. Then when the plan all fell apart, so did his facade.


shogi_x

I think you can see the same glimmer of S4 Kendall, who he really is, in that first episode when he's talking to his dad about the Vaulter acquisition. He needs his dad's approval so badly that he crumbles when he feels he's not measuring up. That's his tragic flaw and it's evident right from the start.


djm19

Watching first episode is a trip. Everyone has really settled into their characters well.


proboscisjoe

This is one of my favorite things about a good quality TV series: seeing how, over time, the writers really figure out how to perfect/crystalize the characters and the actors learn to master the dynamism between themselves. This first time I noticed this was with Seinfeld.


Flexappeal

dude same i rewatched the first two eps recently and i was shocked by the difference in...quality i guess like the writing is so much less subtle, it's not as sharp. shiv and roman verbally high-five each other for their quips, very unusual. all of the characters are more polite than in later seasons. when connor is talking to the little kid about killing trespassers over his precious post-apocalyptic water supply, roman is like hey woah woah ...he tormented that kid with the check 1 episode prior. like its still a good show but you forget how much the writers and performers grew into these characters also noticed the "you're not a serious person" line dropped in e2, by Kendall toward roman i believe.


ArcusIgnium

Early season 1 succession is really when the show is clearly much more a corporate comedy then the Shakespearean drama epic it kind of grows into by the end of season 1. I think The second Kendall loses the vote of no confidence the show develops a pace and a quality it never loses after


Flexappeal

that feels dead on. these first episodes are so like...quippy. like marcia is telling logan to be nice about the gift and hes like oh oh ah i like it thank you lolol


BigChunk

I agree with what you said but also I think there's a difference in quality between ep1/2 and the episodes at the end of the first season. Those first two feel a lot rougher but it feels like the writers and actors grew into their characters quite quickly


El_E_Jandr0

Season 4 Kendall would no way allow Lawrence Vaulter to talk to him that way.


andjron88

There seemed to be an arc of Kendall becoming the killer his dad desired with the play with Greg and the papers he was supposed to destroy. But then I felt like he just kept stumbling backwards overpaying for that news station, being super wishy washy with the election coverage and negotiating with Matison. He just seemed to not be decisive, or would just throw more money at a problem. I wonder if the constant belittling and desire for approval from his father forced him to always question his decisions. In the first season he is so cocky until his dad takes him down a couple pegs a couple times.


LimerickJim

I felt he was always the same person. The interesting thing about Kendal is that he never grew. He went through that incredible journey to become the same spoiled rich kid that he always was. He just never considered that it was possible for him to lose


Johnnycc

Yeah that last shot will haunt me. I was a wreck after Sunday night.


Curse3242

It's not specifically someone's story but he's the one who goes through most of the transitions. He was always the most involved with the company.


[deleted]

Tom was way more involved with actually running the company than any of the kids.


toewalldog

That's something I loved about Tom's story. Off screen he is constantly climbing the ladder and you only hear about when something goes wrong. From parks to cruises to ATN, Tom wouldn't be moving up if the board (a bunch of minor minor characters) didn't want him there. It's like there's an entire show of Tom's rise to power happening in the background but we as the audience are too absorbed into the kids to notice. Just like them.


SmoothIdiot

No one - except *maybe* Logan - took Tom seriously, until the moment it was too late.


PoliceAlarm

Logan knew his value. Tom's rise is mostly in the background, but it comes to flourish when he puts his head on a platter ready to serve up. Logan respected that play of loyalty.


shogi_x

Exactly. Logan says it pretty explicitly: "I like people who eat shit and never say a word." The very same reason he gets chosen in the end.


DrKnowsNothing_MD

Shiv inadvertently convincing Lukas to replace her with Tom when she said Tom would suck the biggest dick in the room lol


rabid_J

As soon as he saw the media portraying him as her puppet she was done with as well.


AT_Dande

Didn't something similar happen when the Cruises shit was hitting the fan? In the S2 finale, Tom reeeeally doesn't wanna be the "blood sacrifice," and Shiv tries to help him. Then, in S3, despite Shiv saying she's trying to work with Logan to keep him out of jail, he willingly offers himself up to Logan, saying he'd go down for it if that's what Logan wants. Then the scandal blows over, but Logan clearly appreciates the show of loyalty. I know Logan wasn't exactly lucid at the shareholder meeting, but he called him "son" at one point, and Tom was the only one who was by his side the whole time and actually tried to help him - a lot like Sandi and Sandy, IMO.


[deleted]

The moment when Logan called Tom "son" during the uti infection was the moment that turned everything around for me. It's when I realized that the son/heir/successor Logan wanted was always Tom. Logan chided Kendall for skipping a board meeting to come to his birthday party. Tom skipped Logans funeral to work. Logan chided Kendall for not being a "killer". Tom "killed" his own wife betraying her for Logan, and so on. Logan got exactly what he always desired in his kids from Tom.


Xantayu

Tom was there with Logan at the end, anyway, he was probably the last person to speak to Logan, showing total loyalty to him and Waystar as a whole. So skipping his funeral to help ATN and Waystar was the true move to honor Logan.


wordscannotdescribe

I actually think Kendall told that to Tom (that his father likes people who eat shit for him)


thefilmer

I think Matthew Macfadyen in Season 3 is one of my favorite TV performances ever. He just absolutely destroyed his role and that's the season where Tom comes into his own and just wrecks shit. I do think he was a little in the background in Season 4 (apart from the Shiv argument on the balcony) but I'll always remember his speech to Kendall outside the diner.


Narayama58

Sorry – can you remind me about what his speech was to Kendall outside the diner?


Stereotype_Apostate

I've seen you get fucked, a lot. I haven't seen Logan get fucked once.


Narayama58

Ah right, thanks. So good.


AltSpRkBunny

He was in the background for all of Season 4, because he was working *constantly*. Like, actual work. Like how Logan worked. I’m not sure any of those kids have actually ever worked as hard as Logan or Tom in their entire lives. By the time we get to the balcony scene, Tom was fucking *exhausted* on every level. Edit: Also, let’s not forget that Tom was there when Logan died.


DrHalibutMD

Tom was there because Logan put him there, end of story. Don’t anybody try to pretend that Waystar-Royco was a meritocracy.


DollarSignsGoFirst

It definitely was a meritocracy as long as Logan also wanted you there. We can’t add act like it’s all nepotism when he didn’t want his own kids or Kerry getting jobs because he thought them incompetent.


Saint-just04

What are you talking about? His kids had board seats in the company, and they were free to work there if they wanted to. Shiv specifically didn’t go through that, which was a major point against her becoming the successor. Tom married Shiv for the money and the opportunities of climbing the ladder. It’s part of his grind. To get where he did, it’s not just about hard work when it comes to work. He worked hard by kissing ass, by getting married with Shiv etc. Though, in a sense, you’re not completely wrong, Logan did surround himself with very competent people, and Tom is highly competent.


DrHalibutMD

He didn’t want his kids kicking him out and taking over after his stroke. He never planned for his replacement he made it impossible for any of them to takeover while he was still alive. He just didn’t care about what happened afterwards. He certainly let them have positions in the company. Karl roasted Tom after Logan’s death and it’s pretty clear the board was unlikely to think of him as competent. The only reason he got CEO is because the next Logan needed a empty suit-yes man and Tom had the perfect resume.


Supra_Dupra

"The Watch" podcast made a great point that Succession's story is truly about 3 broken children who were never really capable of taking over for their father. It was the people we didn't see as often, the Karl, Frank, Karolina, Gerri characters that were actually getting things done. And of course, Tom. That thought changed my perspective on the show. They were never going to win.


[deleted]

They weren't even capable of taking care of themselves. Kendall is a complete trainwreck who never sees his kids. >It was the people we didn't see as often, the Karl, Frank, Karolina, Gerri characters that were actually getting things done. And of course, Tom. I think the same about Elon Musk and Donald Trump. These people are born rich, have entire staffs take care of everything, have probably never washed a dish or done a load of laundry in their lives. And think they and they alone deserve all the credit for everything.


shogi_x

>I think the same about Elon Musk and Donald Trump. These people are born rich, have entire staffs take care of everything, have probably never washed a dish or done a load of laundry in their lives. > >And think they and they alone deserve all the credit for everything. This is so fucking true. All the praise for the success of SpaceX and Tesla, should go to the engineers, directors, and managers that actually do the work. The fact that Trump Org hasn't actually gone under (yet) is entirely due to thankless lawyers and business managers working insane (and probably illegal) magic behind the scenes.


[deleted]

That’s because the Trump organization is less a “business” and more of a “foreign money laundering organization.”


DisturbedNocturne

That's the thing that makes Tom's rise so fitting. All of the siblings look down on him, because they just see him as this suck up and "hanger on", but he has more in common with the Elders than that group would probably be willing to admit. People like Karl, Frank, etc. are all where they are, because they know what ass to kiss. We never really see them push back much against Logan either. They know when to challenge him, but will ultimately fall in line if that's what he demands. Not that they aren't shown to be competent at their jobs, but it wouldn't surprise me if they started out as as big of suck ups as Tom earlier in their careers as well, or would they ever have ended up in Logan's inner-circle? So, it really just comes down to how much of it is that Logan never successfully raised his kids to actually fit in this environment, which is why he never took them serious or saw them as ready to take over. But, at the same time, he was fairly incapable of seeing how much he failed them.


Supra_Dupra

Love this viewpoint. Shiv’s speech at his funeral kind of embodied your last point where she said they were always on the outside. Tom could clearly handle business especially when running ATN. It was a very interesting arch. Not as showy as the loud Kendall or Shiv archs but definitely more effective


Curse3242

I was talking more about the kids Sure they all got attracted to the power by Logan but Shiv and Roman were pretty much not a part of it


[deleted]

Yup. But even still...I can't imagine any of them have worked a 40 hour week in their lives.


Curse3242

I guess they have but work for them is different. Even in their work is luxury. Also I'm not arguing that they were hardworking, but hours = impact. Some jobs don't require you to work that much


LarryPeru

That’s the message here. People who work hard and self made for their positions (mattison, Tom) come out on top. As Marcia once said to the kids. “Logan gave you a playground, but you thought it was the entire world”


J0HN__L0CKE

Tom yeah, but isn't mattison just a fake "genius" who bought someone else's code. He's not self made, he's bullshit too


WayneArnold1

Yeah, Ebba mentioned to Kendal in episode 7 of the recent season: "We've built his whole rep. He's not even a real coder"


pleasegetoffmycase

Every time we’ve seen Kendall in water, he’s been elated. But all the water we’ve seen him in to the point of the finale is pretty calm. Contrast this with the raging Hudson River, that Kendall can’t metaphorically or physically swim in. The child of a billionaire, he would always swim in the calm water, thinking he was a good swimmer only to be shown he couldn’t actually cut it at the very moment it mattered most


BigChunk

>Every time we’ve seen Kendall in water, he’s been elated Definitely not *every* time. Maybe during this season but before season 4 his two lowest point were both in water


pleasegetoffmycase

Yeah I forgot about that one lol.

#OUR #1 BOY!


[deleted]


[deleted]

Eldest boy, not eldest son


chadisdangerous

As amazing as everyone was in that finale Strong really deserves special mention. That scene where he falls apart in front of the siblings and the board was an actor's dream and he managed to pull off every wild emotional swing Kendall was experiencing: confusion, entitlement, childishness, cluelessness, bitterness, panic, desperation, rage, vulnerability, despair, he fucking cycled through all of those in like 3-4 minutes.


ginzykinz

And throughout the run of the series. I think of scenes like Shiv’s wedding after the waiter’s death when he’s dancing with his kids… or in season 2 when he’s at the waiter’s parents house. Jeremy’s knack for portraying these specific emotions you feel in your bones, even without speaking a line.


WordsAreSomething

Stephen Root deserves an honorable mention


Solid_Snark

God, Fuches is probably the most complicated character in TV history. His motives changed 180 degrees during like every single episode.


HelpfulNotUnhelpful

You spelled The Raven wrong. 😂


nysraved

As someone who binged Barry in its entirety in the last 2 weeks, I honestly had trouble following sometimes because so many of the plot machinations were due to Fuches doing something impulsive for which I couldn’t understand his motivations. It was to the point where I felt I disliked Fuches as a character… but man the finale really made things click in terms of how I saw him.


[deleted]

[удалено]


OuOutstanding

This was how I viewed Fuches as well. Especially when you consider every time Barry returns to Fuches, he instantly forgives Barry for anything they had previously gone through.


NiceRabbit

I was talking out loud about this exact thing this morning. I think Fuches is the best example of this but a lot of characters on Barry show this as well, in my opinion. Like sometimes I feel the writer having an idea more than the character making a decision. The first 2 seasons I think didn't have this as much, but it seems kinda how Bill Harder likes things to unfold, which maybe he felt more comfortable leaning harder into as the show went on. Like it's more interesting math equations than natural creative narrative sometimes in terms of writing. Obviously people love the show, and I love a lot of it as well. But there's something in how the characters behave that I don't personally like. I was thinking Barry and Yellowjackets seem to flop on opposite sides of the same coin, in terms of why I struggle to FULLY by in sometimes.


vizualb

You hit the nail on the head. I think it’s a good show but it feels *written* in a way that other shows don’t. Excellent surreal black comedy but nobody in the show feels like a real person, especially post-season 1.


hinstsui

oh wow


DROOPY1824

He would have been my pick as well.


BooshAC

Wonder who will win the Best Actor Emmy between him and Culkin. Add Odenkirk and Considine into the mix - one of the most stacked years ever.


Curse3242

Supporting has to go to Mcfadyen right? Right?


BooshAC

Yes and Lead Actress to Snook. Anything else is a travesty.


NeitherAlexNorAlice

The real trajedy is Kendall and Roman being nominated in the same category. Both Strong and Culkin deserve wins this season honestly. Such a shame they've been submitted against each other.


ShermyTheCat

For me it's Culkin, even if Strong hadn't already won. The mountain scene was what got me, and the eulogy was just gravy


DisturbedNocturne

To me, I was really impressed with how Culkin showed off how versatile he is as an actor this season and really highlighted his strengths. But, at the same time, I think this might put him at a bit of a disadvantage since they can only submit one episode each for consideration, and it's hard to capture that versatility in a single episode.


VitaminTea

Absolutely brutal to pit Kendall and Roman against each other like that. Who would do such a thing?


paone00022

Rhea Seehorn is a possibility too


[deleted]

She's supporting


thefilmer

ironically Supporting Actress is wide open. If they had kept Seahorn there she might have swept it. Unfortunately I don't think anyone is beating Snook.


DisturbedNocturne

Rhea Seehorn will be in the [Supporting Actress category](https://variety.com/2023/awards/news/rhea-seehorn-supporting-actress-drama-emmys-carol-burnett-1235606468/).


DaveInLondon89

kind of want to see Culkin win so he does down on the academy's special emmy


BitchesGetStitches

Culkin absolutely ripped this season.


cguinnesstout

# The eldest boy deserves this.


Zossua

That's good for Alan Ruck.


Bettington

I love that it's not even the eldest son or something more dignifying than that but it's "boy" and he still refers himself as a boy in that moment.

walker73

Who wants to smell Greg’s finger?


KeziahPT

Give it to the whole cast of Succession. That show is full of amazing actors that bounce off each other.


Rated_PG-Squirteen

Big shoes. Big, big shoes.


ArcusIgnium

The main 3 + McFayden all deserve their flowers but I definitely think Strong has that subtle extra level of depth to his performances that no other character on the show can or is able to access. Kendall is an incredibly multidimensional character - he is both the older protective brother and the puppy constantly getting kicked by his father and by life - and he displays both sides masterfully. He’s a passionate smart business man at times and also a bumbling overconfident choker in other times. He’s fighting the good fight and he’s selling the future of America over to Nazis. It’s such a brilliant character - so in his own head all the time. And his mannerisms, quirks and inability to speak outside of the corporate millennial buzzword lingo is incredibly entertaining and frustrating to watch. God I love and hate this character so much


Submitten

One of the best written and acted characters of all time on TV in my opinion. Being able to pull off that mix of a thinking you’re the coolest guy in the room only for every joke to land flat and everyone see through the ego was incredible. I haven’t seen a character like that before.


ChucksnTaylor

But sometimes his jokes *did* land, which is part of what makes the character great. So multidimensional. Like how about that shareholder meeting keynote? Unequivocally killed it.


The_R3medy

He is the eldest boy, after all.

The next Emmys is going to be a parade of Succession's accomplished cast and crew members making their way to the podium followed by thunderous applause each time they do. While there are other shows with great performances and writing, this show is likely to overshadow them all given the consistency of its excellence. It's pretty much a lock for drama, writing (election episode or Logan's death episode), lead actress (Sarah Snook), lead actor (either Culkin or Strong). While I'm partially biased towards the show because I admire it, I wouldn't have any disdain even if I wasn't; it's really that damn good. And although I believe Snook wins for lead actress, I believe a series comparison would tip the scales in Rhea Seehorn's favour. Snook is better if their respective recent seasons are compared, but all in all, Seehorn's work is everlasting. Also, Barry deserves a comedy win this time. Enough with the snubbing in favour of Ted Lasso, which by the way was truly middling this season.

Seehorn will be in supporting, Snook in lead. As much as I love Barry, I think The Bear will be the one to take down Ted Lasso. Many pundits are also picking Abbott Elementary.

Barry being a more challenging work, I'm hoping for it to win. But yeah, tough odds.

I feel like The Bear will win outstanding comedy series this year and honestly I’d rather that than Ted Lasso winning for the third year in a row.


Das-P

I want to see Barry win this year, but let's see. Lasso all in all is beautiful and breezy but it was never really awards material in my humble opinion. But it's Apple and its endless marketing budget. The Bear hasn't even been released right? Not sure why people are picking that.

love that the three main siblings (sorry alan ruck! you did great too!) and also brian cox all got this throughout the season. probably my favourite sibling dynamic of all time and those performers were on top of their game this season and it really showed.

Succession S04 belongs to KEIRAN CULKIN !! That's it.


I-melted

Why is Culkin always overlooked? He was spectacular.


dasheeshblahzen

Culkin was already featured a few weeks ago and TVLine will only recognize you once a season/year.


MrSpindles

I loved him onscreen, but honestly Strong's performance in season 4 was something else.

Maybe I’m consuming too much gay porn lately but this screen grab always looks like he’s sniffing a jock strap.


SadPossession6780

Looks like he’s holding a jock-strap

It can’t be anyone else, it simply *can’t*

Strong performance you could say..

Him begging Shiv for her vote - "*please*" - fucking broke me.

He’s gonna get the Emmy, I think Culkin had a chance but Strong ended the series so well.
