@puttypiesmom, I'm still watching this show but I'm not crazy about. One would say why do you continue to watch, it's not in my nature to give up on a show, I watch til the bitter end. The vote to get the father out of the company really backfired on Kendall, now he's out on the street. There is not one character on this show with any redeeming qualities except maybe the nephew.

       I am also still following the show.  I really can not stand the brother nor the brother in law! 

       I think the young nephew (who seems so out of it) is being bamboozled, but will be the winner!!  But I keep watching to see "what will be the final story" of this show.  Very bizarre show...

Also still watching! lol  Last night's episode did hold my interest just to see how they all voted.  That Roman is a big weirdo, wow what a wimp and I don't like Tom either.  I guess I don't like any of them with the exception of Marcia, however, I don't know if she is loyal to Logan or has her own agenda.  Now I don't know if I should dislike Kendall or feel sorry for him.  Geez

@Chicagoan, even though his father is not mentally sound, it's a pretty crappy thing Kendall tried to do. I don't feel sorry for any of them except maybe the nephew, he isn't like the rest of them.

It is a bad thing to try to overthrow your own dad, however, if his dad is truly incapacitated it might be the only way to save the corporation.  I still don't know enough yet to make a judgement call yet.  I also don't know what to think of the nephew, I think he is not as naive as he pretends to be.

I'm pretty sure the nephew is up to something and has already compromised Tom's secret that supposedly would destroy the company if word got out.   He was making copies before shredding the originals and then said something to that woman - the blonde non relative with no voting rights, wears her hair up and has glasses.  I think he has been confiding into her.  Tom is weird as someone said but I can't stand Shiv the woman he's suppose to be marrying.  People keep saying she is a beauty.....ummmm, ok.

The July 8 episode was the turning point. All of a sudden this series became good. There is going to be a change. The director cast a very talented Bafta winning actor Matthew Macfadyen in the Tom role.  I think the Tom role as well as the nephew role will have more meaning to the plot than we know now.

Agree. Last week's show was a turning point for me. Watching trust fund babies stumbling about bewildered with little self-respect, courage or common life skills made me think this show was salvagable. Plot needed a new twist. Agree about the f word -- too much. Overkill. We get it that they're bitter creatures with limited vocabularies.

 

DH and I are watching more cable series this summer since our fave baseball team is in re-build mode. A Greek tragedy of the sports variety. Still a fan. We're dysfunctional people watching this summer with some of these series - instead of so much sports! After the shows we turn to one another and say - Hey, middle-class life in cul-de-sac land is A-okay.

     What was the big deal with yesterday's show??? It seems this show is not going anywhere...just more family conflict and drugs!! Nothing was really resolved at the "family therapy" session.  I cannot imagine how they can squeeze out 10 plus more episodes!  The young brother is so disgusting...I know he is supposed to be the comic in the group, but he is obnoxious!!!
