One week on and the Succession discourse has yet to let up. The ending has been dissected in detail, the emotionally ambiguous scenes (the hug! the scars!) have been analysed to within an inch of their lives and, inevitably, the nervous first shoots of a backlash have begun to sprout. It feels like everyone alive has an opinion about the finale. But that isn’t exactly true. Brian Cox doesn’t have an opinion on it, because he hasn’t seen it.
“I’m dead! Dead people don’t watch things like that,” he said on BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg. “I’ve never liked watching myself for a start, and somehow or other, because of what happened to Logan, I’ve been disinclined to watch the rest.”
