Canny believe there isn’t a thread for this.
Anyone seen it? Another HBO classic.
Scottish billionaire Logan Roy(Brian *) basically at war with his kids trying to take over his company and push him out. The family are * nuts and mad racist junkie perverts.
Might have the best patter I’ve seen in any TV show. It’s * outstanding.

Started watching this recently, I'm on season 2 now. 100% the best thing on Television currently.
I haven't seen writing this good in a TV series since The Sopranos.paulie walnuts and Valhalla like this. -
Logan and Kendall Roy is one of the most interesting relationships you’ll ever see on TV.

I really enjoyed the first 2 series.
Haven’t watched the third yet but will need to get round to it.
Logan Roy is a great character played brilliantly by Brian *.Valhalla likes this. -

The inter-personal dynamics of all the cast are simply brilliant -

Isn't this the one that's like a modern take on King Lear?

Just finished season 3, honestly amazing. I think the finale felt more like a penultimate episode, but I'm still happy with how it panned out.
Tom + Greg are really underrated characters. Scratch beneath the surface and they have so much depth between them, as well as the odd comedic relief. -

Has to be his best, which is amazing considering his age. -
Buzzing to start watching this. Just not had the time.

Genuinely jealous of people who get to watch the ‘Dundee’ episode for the first time.

Glad this is ending soon. Started off well but starting to find it a bit boring.
Can’t believe that season 4 episode 3 gets 9.9 on IMDB, thought it was ok but nowhere near that rating. -

I think a lot of people related to it in the situation if you are with sibling and family and just had the news a loved one or parent has died

Thought series 4 wasn't very good, lacked the dark humour of the other series and came across as just drama. Also lacked Tom, Greg and Logan who were the best characters. The story drags on way too long to and it's obvious who was coming out on top too.

I stuck with it thinking the ending might at least be good but thought the whole series was a let down.
It just didn’t work without Brian *.
Kendall Roy has to be one of the most annoying tv characters I’ve seen- closely followed by his wee brother.Westlondonscot likes this. -

Yeah they killed off Logan but then stretched another 8 episodes without the best actor. I get killing him off but * me why so early. I think * has criticised it.
The problem is the 3 main siblings were not likeable in any shape or form and obviously they aren't meant to be. Roman annoys the * out of me. But with Tom, who despite being a mental * hole is somewhat charming, Greg the dimwitted but opportunistic cousin and the horrible Dad Logan who again was somewhat charming were reduced to side characters. You needed someone to route for, make you smile but I felt like I finished it because I started it and had gotten 3 seasons in rather than me actually being invested. -
I've been really liking this show so far, half way through 2nd series, however I've found Roman quite annoying since the start, and now starting to find Siobhan very irritating. Second series hasn't been quite as good but will stick with it.

Finished this last night.
It did bore the * off me from time to time but overall I definitely enjoyed it. Got a ton of laughs. Roman, the dynamic between Tom and Greg and Logan’s outbursts all added to the fun.
Overall I’d give it a solid 7/10. Just not as gripping as some of my favourite ever shows but the acting was absolutely top notch.Fontaine likes this.
