(Spoiler alert: Do not read this post if you wish to remain in the dark on certain “Succession” Season 3 premiere details.)
By the time we got “Succession” Season 3, the obvious comparisons between the dysfunctional family of media titan Logan Roy and the Murdochs is a pretty tired one. Plus, it might not even be the best one.
Brian Cox, who plays the aging Logan Roy, told TheWrap that the real “tragedy” depicted in the HBO show is pretty similar to what we see in the Trump family. It’s the “tragedy of entitlement,” in Cox’s words.
“Succession” is “the kind of satire of the way things are — particularly in this country,” the Scottish actor said, comparing the fictional drama series to the “entitlement that we’ve seen of the horrific Trumps and Kushner and all of that.”
