Coincidentally, I have read this story in the magazine last night and I didn't like it. Strong has not done THAT much professionally to deserve such a detail biographical article. Something fishy/personal/arranged there for sure. Of all of the "Succession" characters, I find Kendall to be one of the least believable. His interpretation and representation of a spoiled young billionaire is way too one-sided on the side of weak, torn-apart, addictive, loving etc.

I love the show overall though. Not a single likeable character! Probably, the best new TV show since Ozark and Better Call Saul.
