I remember now why I got frustrated with this show. The most luxurious setting ever, billions of dollars, and everybody is a goddamn stuttering pussy. I'm sitting here begging somebody to quit "oh my gosh I don't know what do you think guys" and tear into somebody. One character after another whose dialogue is "wait I'm not sure". frick somebody tell Logan he looks like a golf ball and we're about to frick you up


Go Greg btw

A couple minor points:

1. You'd be surprised how many rich rich people are completely neurotic and absolute self obsessed psychopaths.

2. You have #1 raising families. Their kids will not be well adjusted to navigate the pitfalls of life. Somebody like Tom is positioned well to succeed because of his large pool of experience to draw from. There are no blinders, safety net and he understands risk.

This show understands those points at a base level and executes it very well.

I get so tired of Ken's "Yeah, no, yeah, ok, sure, yeah". I can see how his dad has made him insecure with a self-esteem issue but you can't expect to be CEO when you project such a soft, spongy exterior.

I'm only half way through season 3 but clearly this is a HBO roast of the Murdocks and Fox News. They kept politics out of the show until the episode where Logan "chooses" the next President. They are at a CPAC type event "full of Timothy McVeighs" and there are numerous comments regarding white this and that and fascist is thrown around a lot. Otherwise they've done a good job of keep politics out of a show about evil, white, right-wing capitalists.

It’s because they’re(kids/family) all thoroughly incompetent after having been handed and/or spoonfed everything in their lives, or they’re(staff/team) so terrified of getting on Logan’s bad side they just continue to subjugate themselves to the obscenely rich boss with a very short fuse.

Not unrealistic at all actually
