Serious people make the effort to make sure their children can take over the empires they’ve built.
Such a millennial mentality.
“Muh daddy owes it to me to take over”
: Literally one child did the management training. Roman. Since then he’s been brought in to the fold. Kendall wasted his time at an Ivy League university doing drugs. Shiv was literally working for campaigns that looked to harm the Roy family and company
But sure he “owes it to them to take it over”
quote:
He’s not serious about anything that matters. This guy was doing so badly in the 80s, he leveraged his entire company’s worth on a bad loan so he could expand into amusement parks, risking his children’s inheritance and future well-being.
Given they have a chance to be billionaires by none of their own making at mid life I’d say it worked out.
quote:
Screw you, Dad, I’m going out on my own,” when that means total and complete ostracism from the family unit and all of that money.
No that was his whole point.
They are going to make literally billions out of the deal and can do whatever they want with it.

That scene is Logan looking in a mirror seeing his worst attributes reflected back at him.
His discovery:
He isn’t a serious person either.
How many promises has he broken to his children? To others? How many times has he strung people along only to tell them to F off?
Serious people have some level of integrity. Logan has none.
This might be one of the worst takes I've ever seen on this board. You have completely misinterpreted basically all of the characters and that entire scene.

In all seriousness, when he gave his speech about being used to not being loved and that it was ok, that was unexpectedly heavy from him. And does make you feel bad for him
And now his dad is going to miss his wedding because of a business deal.

This show is well acted but the characters make them hard to root for.
Conn is probably the most like-able but you can tell he's lived his entire life with bumpers. Has no sense of reality. No drive to do anything. It's like they put him on a raft and pushed him out to sea with a trunk of money.
Shiv is a chore of a person. The older brother just does drugs and thinks he's a genius. Roman probably needs to be in therapy three times a week. Got too much internal turmoil to lead anyone and be anything but a corporate hitman for his father.
Even Tom lacks conviction and a backbone. Greg just stumbles around hoping to stay above water.
None of them are really serious people or to be taken seriously.

None of that is the point
The point is you don't blow a deal where you are getting $2-3 billion each over an extra $100 million each
They very clearly, regardless of whose fault it is, incapable of going out on there own and making anywhere near the kind of money we are talking about therefore take the unimaginably large pile of cash then go play with "small" amounts of money to try to make something of yourself like let's say a couple hundred million (btw; they will fail)

Reading more of your posts you seem to be confusing being serious in the business world to being a good person, they are not necessarily the same thing

My money is on Roman finally growing up
Posted on 4/9/23 at 9:22 pm to Free888
That was an excellent episode. Just excellent. The whole sequence where they find out he’s dying is a 26 minute-ish long shot and it was so fluid. Really well done.
The utter shitshow that is going to ensue after this is going to be amazing TV.
Highly recommend watching the Inside the Episode on this one.

I guess I didn’t see it coming but then again knowing it’s the final season, should’ve seen it coming, this had to happen so we can finally get to the “succession” part of the show
Will be some elite backstabbing to finish this thing out
Posted on 4/9/23 at 9:29 pm to Lawyered
I thought it’d likely come later in the season, knowing the only way he leaves the company is if he dies. But I’m glad they did it now so we can see how it all gets fleshed out.

The little Greglets comment made this a top 5 episode of the series...
Then the shite hit the fan.
What a great episode

Great acting from the kids.

Logan leaves everything to Greg
Posted on 4/9/23 at 10:02 pm to Sonny Koufax
You know the writers had to have 30 different scenarios for his death and I think they pulled off the exact right one. A lesser show would have had him giving some final words to his kids or something along those lines. This show gave you 30 minutes of holding a phone to an ear of a dead man. That’s why it’s the best show on TV.
