While always giving credit to “Succession” creator Jesse Armstrong and his team of writers, Macfadyen has made Tom real, whether he was stabbing Shiv in the back in the Season 3 finale, speaking with her lovingly on the phone as her father died or tearing into her on the balcony of their home on election eve. Macfadyen won the Emmy for supporting actor in a drama last year, and is already leading the pack in this year’s race - but to mention that both illustrates and diminishes his achievements in this role over the show’s four seasons. (He’ll probably keep making jokes about his hatred of Method acting too.And so Tom becomes the American CEO of the subsumed Waystar Royco, sort of becoming the successor that’s promised in the title “Succession.” He brings along his lackey Greg (Nicholas Braun), the Sporus to Tom’s Nero, and triumphs over his brothers-in-law Kendall (Jeremy Strong) and Roman (Kieran Culkin), and his own wife, Shiv, who also wanted it.īut at the fateful Waystar board meeting, Shiv is the deciding vote against Kendall, telling him - among other things - “I just don’t think you’d be good at it.” Yet if Shiv was also deliberately backing her husband (and also the father of her future baby) for her own gain at that moment, the final image of the pair of them in the back of a car pulling out of the Waystar garage - looking shellshocked, if not miserable - undercuts that theory. And we are sure that there will be even more commentary from Cox has he is interviewed about the show in the weeks and months ahead. Since being written off the show, Cox has already groused that he was killed too early in the final season.
As the camera panned around to his children, they all had tears rolling down their faces, the cruel man who belittled and abused them in life, mourned in death. It ended up being one of the most emotional moments in the episode (and, indeed, the final season), as you watched Logan in happier times, reciting the presidential candidates that lost and generally having a good time. It’s somewhat suiting that he issued a farewell considering Logan’s unexpected appearance in the final episode, during a video of a dinner party that Logan held. “I would like to thank all of us in the making and creating of this show from the very bottom of my heart.”
The harmony between crew and cast was truly amazing,” he said elsewhere in his post. And what has been, in my career, certainly the greatest work experience ever.
