Succession - What’s Really Going On with Roman

This script was written by Anya Formozova. You can see more of her work here: http://www.youtube.com/c/Cue22

Roman Roy is an emotional exhibitionist, wanting people to see and acknowledge how screwed up he and his family are. A court jester type character, he’s more aware of how the family looks to outsiders than the rest, becoming a running commentary on Roy family pathology. We don’t usually get insight into the “jester” character’s feelings, but with Roman we see where his pain comes from, what makes him compulsively crack jokes. The Season Three finale gives us hope that he just might be able to escape his father’s influence. The way out of his trauma is going through it, again and again and again.
