Featured review
I got nothing I expected except fine acting, writing and direction.
Nobody on this jarring finale behaves like I expected them to behave with two exceptions. First - oldest son Connor. His activities are completely divorced from the family business - a Quixotic run for the presidency and his girlfriend's play. He goes to dad for "just a hundred mil(lion) to tide me over" like he is a seven year old asking for an advance on his allowance. When dad puts conditions on that money he pouts just like a seven year old. No surprise. Emotionally he is seven years old.
Logan is the other person who acts according to expectations. He gets told by Roman that the sovereign wealth money will probably not be coming through, thus they will not be going private thus there is going to have to be a blood sacrifice to satisfy the stockholders over the recent scandal. Logan manipulates things such that the knives all come out Godfather style, but they are all trained on each other, not him. Not the Lyin' King.
This is an intimate episode with lots of small scenes that say chapters about the characters as they all behave in unexpected ways, and on this show that is mainly a good thing! The setting is the Mediterranean Sea and the Roy yacht that looks more like a five star hotel afloat. It would make the Titanic say "wow!" and sit up and take notice.
And that very last take - The look on Logan's face. Is that pride that I see? You can't EXACTLY tell what that look means. If an actor could win an Emmy for a single ambiguous facial expression, Logan Roy's Brian Cox would get the nod.
Best small scene: Tom, in a desperate attempt at trying to show dominance Roy style, walks up to Logan and begins to eat his chicken. And then says thank you.
Kudos to the entire cast and crew for a very excellent second season.
