I didn’t think he could surpass the scene with Mattson in Episode 5, but my God, Kieran Culkin was great. One of the most effective TV appearances of the 12 months. #Inheritance pic.twitter.com/NXKySK1KVC

This episode was a pressure cooker of cynical, nihilistic fear and perfectly captures the convenience of neglecting one’s duty when greed is on the table. Everyone was on fire today: Jeremy Strong and Sarah Snook broke me, and Kieran Culkin chilled me to the bone. #Inheritance pic.twitter.com/DNDUOremGS

Well, I said Roman would disintegrate and that will unite or separate the Roys. Of course it ended up being each because Jesse Armstrong is the elite. Jeremy Strong was spirited on this speech, but Kieran Culkin won an Emmy today. Stunning performance. #Inheritance pic.twitter.com/i51clvZW3J

Kieran Culkin gives such an excellent performance in season 4 Inheritance This IndieWire predicts that he’ll join co-stars Jeremy Strong and Brian Cox within the 2023 Emmy race for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. However, in keeping with fans of the previous child star, the statuette has already been secured. That funereal moment – when it finally breaks down, when its facade of imperviousness crumbles (when prepared and ready – with the pages ready) might be not possible to beat. The Emmys aren’t until September, so until then, keep your fingers crossed for Kieran.
