While Succession patriarch Brian Cox has called co-star Mark Strong’s method acting “f***ing annoying” and last week complained Logan Roy was killed off “ultimately too early,” it seems those irritants did not define Cox’s experience on the show. Quite the opposite.
In an Instagram story posted after the series finale last night, Cox had nothing but praise for cast and crew, calling it “the greatest work experience” of his long, distinguished career.
He wrote:
Deadline’s Dominic Patten shared similar sentiment about the show in his review of the final episode, where he also noted a specter-like return for Cox’s character. “With blood all over the boardroom floor,” Patten wrote, “a fascist heading to the White House thanks to the Roy-owned ATN, and a virtual return of Logan to remind the siblings how little he cared for them, the brutal and beautiful finale closed the deal for Succession after four acclaimed seasons.”
