Succession: 'Logan Roy Would Think Donald Trump Is A Frickin Idiot', Says Brian Cox To Alex Salmond

Logan Roy, the central character of the hit TV show "Succession," finds himself in a precarious situation. Surrounded by his conniving children, who are all conspiring against him, the question arises: can he possibly survive this? The answer, my friends, is a resounding yes. But how, you may ask? Well, let me tell you.

You see, Logan Roy and I have something in common. We both hail from Dundee, Scotland. But that's where the similarities end, or so I thought. When I first started the show, I suggested that Logan could have a Scottish background, given his name. But the powers that be had other plans. They insisted that Logan had to be American.

I went up to the writers and demanded answers. Their response? "We thought it'd be a little surprise." A surprise, indeed.

But let's not dwell on the geographical mishaps of Logan Roy. Instead, let's focus on the brilliance of the show itself. "Succession" has garnered multiple awards and critical acclaim, with Golden Globes practically coming out of its ears. When I first read the script five years ago, I knew it had the potential to be a monumental success. And boy, was I right.

The show, in the tradition of classic dynastic dramas like "Dallas" and "Dynasty," takes a satirical and political approach. It's a wild ride, filled with zingers and edge. But what sets it apart is its superb writing and storytelling. Jesse Armstrong, the mastermind behind the show, has created a world that captivates and entertains. It's no wonder "Succession" has soared to stratospheric heights of success.

Now, let's shift gears for a moment and talk about American politics. The former president, Donald Trump, is about to face arraignment by the Manhattan district attorney. As an observer of both American and British politics, I must say, Trump
