Always-outspoken Succession star Brian Cox throws some very Logan Roy-like shade at Game of Thrones over its controversially rushed ending.
Succession star Brian Cox throws some shade at Game of Thrones over its famously rushed ending. Wrapping up an acclaimed television series is never an easy proposition, but few shows’ final runs engendered as much anger as that of HBO’s Game of Thrones.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT After Game of Thrones provided such a stark example of how not to end a show, HBO’s current sensation Succession is trying to dodge falling prey to the same mistakes, and at least one of the show’s stars is very cognizant of what those pitfalls are and how GoT failed to navigate them.
“You think about Game of Thrones, when they didn’t know what they were doing at the end, and they had an ending which was not really satisfactory. And the audience was furious.” Succession Has A Chance To Stick The Landing The audience was indeed furious at the way things wrapped up for the saga of Westeros, but that same sort of sad result is something Succession has a chance to avoid. To begin with, Succession has the advantage of not being beholden to pre-existing source material, affording creator Jesse Armstrong a level of creative freedom that Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss did not have as they guided their own show to its conclusion.
The biggest advantage for Succession over Game of Thrones though is the simple fact that the show is being allowed to end at the right time. Game of Thrones arguably needed several more seasons to wrap up its own storylines in satisfactory fashion, putting Benioff and Weiss in a very difficult creative position, and leading to the "rushed" feeling referenced by Cox.
