SLATE did a nice tribute to Succession’s supporting characters (May 28, 2023)

Alexander Skarsgård as Lukas Matsson

I hesitate to classify Lukas Matsson a “minor” character when he has so dominated the final two seasons of the series, both as a driver of the plot and as a sheer force of personality. Of all the A-list talent that Succession has wheedled onto its set—hi, two-episode wonder Adrien Brody—Alexander Skarsgård has slotted himself in the most seamlessly, carving out a comfortable perch for a character who is by turns puckish yet menacing, savvy yet moronic, odious yet kinda hot (a Skarsgård signature). Privacy, pussy, pasta, indeed. —JGZ

Who would you choose as Logan’s successor?

I’m so enamoured by what Alexander Skarsgård is doing [as Lukas Matsson]. His acting is so beautiful – blithe and confident yet anxious – I’d go for him. As a viewer I’d say: “These kids aren’t up to it.”

NEW from Gold Derby: ‘Alexander Skarsgård and Stellan Skarsgård are hoping to make Emmys history’

by Jacob Sarkisian, May 18, 2023

Family is the most important thing. Apart from the Emmys, of course. Duh. Two performers may be able to combine both of those pillars of life this year as Stellan Skarsgård and his son Alexander Skarsgård vie for “Andor” (Disney+) and “Succession” (HBO) respectively. However, it’ll be a battle between father and son as they will be competing in the same category this year: Best Drama Supporting Actor.

WHY WE’VE ALL GONE MAD FOR MATSSON

NEW article from Evening Standard (and appears in the May 12th issue of ES magazine, UK)

What’s topping the Succession swoon list right now? The terrifyingly brilliant, no f***s given style of Lukas Matsson, says Laura Antonia Jordan

BY LAURA ANTONIA JORDAN, May 15, 2023

Still tittering about the ludicrously capacious bag? What are you, some sort of weekend Malbec moron? Please. Sartorially minded Succession connoisseurs have moved on to savouring the fine, biodynamic, sparking red wine that is ‘jerkoff coder from Gothenburg’ Lukas Matsson’s alpha tech-bro style.

NEW - ’Succession’ Season 4: Thanks to Alexander Skarsgård, This Series Is Going Out with a “Bang”

‘Succession’ characters have never been completely likable, but Skarsgård provides the show with one true antagonist.

BY LIAM GAUGHAN, PUBLISHED May 10, 2023

Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for Season 4 of Succession.

The announcement that Succession’s highly anticipated fourth season would also be its last was initially shocking, as it had felt like the show could continue to exist for many years. However, events in the final season show that things are finally tightening up for the Roy family, and that they will finally have to face consequences for their actions. With the shocking death of their father Logan (Brian Cox), the upcoming Presidential election, and the pressure to close the deal that will be so critical to their future, all are resting on the decisions that Roman (Kieran Culkin), Kendall (Jeremy Strong), and Shiv (Sarah Snook) make in the upcoming weeks. That would usually be enough to stress everyone out, but Succession has somehow managed to raise the stakes once more with the continued dominance of Alexander Skarsgård as Lukas Matsson, the CEO of the streaming media enterprise GoJo who has managed to throw off all of their plans. There’s no character in Succession that walks away with their hands clean, but Matsson is a malevolent villain like the show has never had before.
