Succession - The Coercive Nature of Power

Күн бұрын

This video essay reviews HBO's Succession, starring Brian Cox as Logan Roy. Succession is an examination about power and in this character study, we take a look at three key scenes that showcase some of the best writing in television right now; the vote of no confidence scene, the boar on the floor scene, and the boat scene. Power has a way of coercing and manipulating people. This video breaks down the psychology of the characters in Succession.

Definitely excited. I really enjoy Kendall's character arc. Excited to see how the characters split into groups. I expect it to get rather Machiavellian as well, and I know those insults will be priceless. In fact I actually wondered about the psychology of why some insults hurt more than others. So I researched it a bunch. It was a blast to make and had me laughing the whole time, so I made a video breaking down the science of why some insults hurt more than others. Who knew there was a whole section of psych science devoted to studying insults? Looking forward to pretty much everything in season 3.

I think the Greg/Tom hierarchy is more complex than that. Greg is a blood relative, Tom is not and could be dumped from the family at any time. I think Tom is threatened by that fact, which is why he takes Greg "under his wing" to assert his power over him.

Illustrating how in the yacht sacrifice debate scene every character betrays another in a way which logically suits both their relationships and in a domino effect order delivered so quickly and succinctly resulting in Logan not even making a decision was an amazing analysis. That’s why I can watch this show over and over. By far the strongest, tightest, most intricate character writing of any show on TV, with an honorable mention to Saul, though I would consider that much stronger plot writing. Succession’s plot is important but it is one of those social realist, gray area plot styles where the characters basically are the plot, and to me that is the most inteiguing form of narrative, as at the end of the day we care far more about the intricacies of flawed human characters than we do about spectacle and explosions and thrills.

Many good English actors try to do a passable American accent (Dominic West in the Wire, Andrew James Clutterbuck of Walking Dead, Benedict Cumberbatch in The Whistleblower, etc) and may sound like Americans to someone with an untrained ear or to someone who doesn't live in the US. However, their accents don't fool anyone who has spent time studying American dialects across the US.

Tom does have a certain quality to his speech that many have pointed out is - unique. (I think it adds to the performance) But, if I met character Tom on the street, I'd just assume he was a fellow 'Murican... When I hear other Americans try and speak British it always seems off to me.. (With a few exceptions.. Forest Whitaker in the Crying Game and Alessandro Nivola in Laurel Canyon coming to mind first) .. But maybe I'm just not all that observant?

I think a better view would be that nobody is safe from the corruption of power. No one is immune to it, but this isn't because we don't know who we actually are and power shows us that.

I don’t think Logan’s a bully because he doesn’t go around seeking people to pick on. Instead, he only expects loyalty from those who leach off his accomplishments rather than go out into the world and earn their own way. I don’t think that’s an unreasonable demand by Logan. No one is stopping any of those people from going off on their own - yet they don’t. Instead, they feel that enjoying the fruits of Logan’s success means they’re his equal and that Logan should tolerate their cozying up with his enemies, which I think is a preposterous demand only a scoundrel would make. Logan’s too soft on his kids and he should have forced them to earn their way long ago.
