In a family like this, Logan has earned his power, and he’s clawed his way there. Because he feels small, he acts out of a kind of grandiose place of privilege. I always think you can tell a lot about a person by how they talk to their cab driver. Without being didactic, it is about the 99% and the 1%, and it says so much about how they treat their staff. That’s something where Kendall has a lot to prove, sometimes verging on extreme. That made me care for all of them because you feel like they’re wounded people, but at the same time, they’re trying so hard to be worthy of their families. They’re so insulated and in such a bubble of privilege, and you see how myopic that makes them, and how damaged they are by their inheritance and by the legacy that they're carrying. He interviews a bunch of his friends from the upper east side, including Ivanka, and you really for these kids because they can’t see it.

It’s really intense because it’s an indictment of his own family. It was made by this guy, Jamie Johnson, of the Johnson & Johnson family. Adam McKay is a big fan of this documentary, called Born Rich, that HBO released awhile ago. So, for children raised in that environment, they squelch other parts of themselves and try to develop the parts that can win. Even though he’s a transplant, Logan is the embodiment of American values and success is a virtue. It’s a very quintessentially American family and it represents the American dream, displayed in a perverse way. Something that helps me, and that I’ve thought a lot about, was the sense that it’s not their fault.

I just hope nobody wants to be their friend. These people are all so horrible and I cannot get over how horrible they are to each other, but I also can’t stop watching them. Adam McKay (the pilot director) and (show creator) Jesse Armstrong intended to make the audience both cringe and care, so if they can pull that off, it’s really something. JEREMY STRONG: Well, thank you! Of course, my job is not to judge a character, in any way, but I can see, from the outside, that there is something slightly reprehensible, bordering on monstrous, about these people.
