Successiongot off to something of a slow start reception-wise when the show debuted on HBO last June.
I lie and I say I dont read the reviews.
I sort of get my wife to read them, squint at them, check with my collaborators.
I remember this very well from writing previous shows likePeep Show.
The first couple of drafts of the script feel a bit like fan fiction and self-parody.
If you are a normal writer, you have a little bit of an anxiety attack.
In the writers room you start to feel the storylines that are going to fit earlier.
So, obviously, theres a frantic desire on behalf of Logan and the company to fend that off.
We go to some cool places.
And then we visit a kind of Davos-slash-Sun Valley kind of media conference in one of the later episodes.
Yeah, theres some geographical variety.
Its still rightly namedSuccession, and thats still a concern of the group.
Will you be dealing with the repercussions of that?That would be getting into [spoilers].
All Id say is something annoyingly gnomic like, Yes, it has repercussions.
I assume Tom and Shiv live happily after?
[Laughs] Their relationship continues to beinteresting.
The last time we saw Alan Rucks character Connor he had started to talk about running for U.S. President.
I think youll be intrigued to see where he goes.
I think we have good stuff for him.
