Sarah Snook & the 'Succession' Team Break Down That Harrowing Balcony Fight | Making a Scene 

Cap

@@imgood3549cap at what?

Definitely!

BTW this line wasn't even in the original script, somebody (Jessy?..) came up with it close to or during shooting. Was on HBO Succession podcast for that episode if I'm not mistaken.

Yes. There is so much potential in their relationship. They could have talked properly but they didn't. They could have listened properly, but they didn't. It's like you are fixing something which is broken that should not have been broken in the first place bc all the elements to be "the right person, right time" is there, they just didnt act on it.

Do you really think they actually love each other? Tom wanted power and money, shiv wanted someone who would never backstab her. IMO they both wanted the control and the power first, second to the love. But I don’t buy for a second that they truly love each other for who they are as people.

I’m not sure if they’re so much “wrong person wrong time”, I think their relationship is better understood in terms of power/control imbalance. Shiv had it first 2 seasons, then Tom winds ultimately by being CEO of her dad’s company. I don’t think there’s potential in their relationship even in earlier seasons, Tom clearly wanted power and always wanted more and that’s why he was willing to eat whatever shit thrown at him and even offering to go to jail just to secure some rapport with Logan. They were both competing for the same thing, had she stayed in politics then maybe yes - but obviously he wanted more of her on all scales (family power, love, kids..), I don’t think they could ever work.

Shiv had distain for him during the early episodes

@@xoxjelloxox I frankly believe that they both love each other. She said "yes" sooner than she would have liked. But he was her guy, beginning with Shiv's trauma and Tom flew to be with her in France. Tom got to know Shiv better than she knew herself. In fact, by being the family outsider, he took a more objective view of the family and did not particularly like what he saw. In season 3, after Tom returned to the hotel from meeting with Kendall at the diner, you knew then that there was another person underneath bumbling Tom .

Honestly I can tell you that it’s worth it to watch it again, it’s just as good and maybe even better than the first watch

Which scenes and/or episodes were you in?

@@ValiantPixel The election party and funeral scenes!

@@benbouffard1793 Wow that's really cool. Congrats for being part of such an amazing show!

@benbouffard1793 that's amazing. One of the best shows ever made.

Sarah must be cruel to matthew macfadyen or do u think she really hates matthew macfadyen on set ??

She hates matthew macfadyen more than any actors on succession. She took advantage of her character to bully him or hate him

@@Upsallauniversity123what are you talking about? She never hated him

Indeed it is

Who is wrong in shiv and tom relationship??

She should win 🎥

I hope she wins

Exactly!

She did!!!!

Matthew macfadyen has been silent since premiere of season 4. He is neither in any promotional video of season 4 nor campaigning for his emmy except w magazine ( I think he is forced by his publicist)

It felt so real! It’s tied between ken boy saying “it’s so lonely “ such a great show

Sarah and keiran

I feel like it's hard to compare tho bc literally everyone is perfect for their role and executes it flawlessly

shut up

No fight from me. I agree. Matthew in particular SNAPPED with his performance throughout the series.

Matthew macfadyen doesn't deserve it ???😂😂

What a stupid question to ask @@Upsallauniversity123

Her scent? 💀

@@xarachne8473really hope they meant natural accent lol

Yep! That scene in episode 4 where shiv gets the call from her doctor was shot in January months after they had shot the rest of the episode and they added it in

Ohhh I see! I went to go search up George and Martha and was a lil confused when the faces didn’t match🤣

He was the one to betray her first. They actually do deserve each other, that’s sort of their doomed destiny. That’s why ultimately they stay together in the end

Huh?

What?

Because actors have to sympathize with their character no matter how heinous the character is so that the portrayal is compelling & believable. If the actor doesn’t believe in the character they’re playing, no one will. Actors have to view their character differently than audiences do, which is why it can be jarring to hear an actor talk about their role like in this video. If the actor has contempt for their character, that will stick out negatively in their performance. She spoke in another video about rationalizing why it was justifiable for Shiv to talk the sexual assault victim out of testifying in the S2 finale. Actors who are playing, say, serial killers must do something similar. None of us can know for sure but I highly doubt she is like Shiv in real life! Nobody would tolerate her if that were the case. Based on photos and videos on social media she seems to be close with the rest of the cast. She has a very bubbly personality in interviews unlike Shiv.

No it wasn't

No

They both were horrible to each other

Not really

​@@chiomawoherem4625this fight could be stopped if shiv leave him alone and talk about him being getting fired in whole party

​@@JoseHernandez-rb3ggyou aren't good enough for me , I don't love you , cheating, mocking tom about clothing at dinner , throwing under the bus infront of whole family

Not you missing the part where they said they specifically intended for the scene to not be subtle lmao

Okay then?

@@javiersuarez9634Fr lol

I understand what you mean in the sense that there was less attention to the whole narrative of Succession and more so on specific characters. They gave a lot of energy to Tom, Shiv, Roman and Kendall on an emotional level but left out what actually happens after Logan died. Well, it makes sense that after he did, everything fell apart and people literally lost the plot. Succession will be a never ending viscious cycle of mistrust where people might turned out to be "better" but not winning and those who win are scarred.

I actually think this was the strongest season. All the subtly was intentionally dropped in my opinion because no one has Logan is there as a diffuser anymore. Logan’s no longer holding the center. To me season 4 was about his kids realizing they were never going to measure up to their dad. Kendall especially. To me all the subtlety was ripped away for the main characters because they were no longer in the protected orbit of their patriarch. They all learned they were bullshit as Roman said that the grandiose image each of the three younger kids had was a facade that was built on quicksand. That their dad was right they are not serious people and you got to see each of their self images crumble when hit with the truth.

nobody gaf

@@lu-fe5qn I know 😂😂

@@lu-fe5qn are u a cheater ??

In order to give a good performance she has to look at it from the character's point of view. I'm sure she recognizes the character flaws but part of why she's so great is that she connects with the motivations on that level.

In other interviews she’s quite critical of shiv. Actors have to be able to see their characters point of view in order to play them realistically… the same is true of pretty much all other actors on the show, you just chose to pick on shiv’s actress
