I know very little about Jeremy Strong aside from his reputation of his method acting approach, but reading this I felt like, “yea, this tracks.”
HBO has been marathoning this this week and I’ve been dying at all the dialogue I forgot about. the shareholders meeting episode where Logan is the “piss mad king of England” is on and there’s so much funny shit being said. One I missed before was when the President called and they couldn’t let Logan talk to him so Gerri says if anyone is Bootleg Logan, it’s Roman, and as they’re handing the phone to him Hugo goes, “This guy? Tony Tourette’s? Are you kidding, are you sure?” Lmao
Started a rewatch last night and maybe I forgot or missed it entirely that Marcia says, “we’re in the new place” when she finds Logan peeing on floor in the closet or wherever he is. I knew / remembered he mumbles, “where am I?” a couple times but her adding that line immediately changes the tone from “old man almost completely off his rocker” to a more understandable middle ground of “honest mistake or something to worry about?” that the series does a great job of balancing.
Jesse Armstrong's movie Mountainhead is on HBO now. not the best thing ever but feels like an episode of Succession with new characters
