In the world of Succession, Logan Roy was a larger-than-life captain of industry that clawed his way to the top with no remorse and reveled in keeping an iron grip on that power until the very end. His preternatural ability to always win, to always come out ahead no matter the odds, made him feel almost more like a myth than a man. But in fact the seed of Logan Roy was born here in our world, in the real-life media mogul Rupert Murdoch. But what can Logan really tell us about Rupert (and vice versa)? And, more importantly, how did Logan grow beyond this initial sprout of real world connection and develop into one of the most iconic antiheroes of the modern era?
