The key in the Finale was character traits.  Logan the father is not only smart, but manipulative and ruthless.  Kendall put a good deal together, but his weaknesses got the better of him.  Logan knew how to take advantage and get the son, Kendall under his thumb again.  o 

 

This series has been renewed.  I am looking forward to what happens next.

      Anybody see this show last night...the Finale???  I still find it so weird!!  Just how much power does the father have over his kids?  And is Shiv kind of a nut case? And is the older son a wimp and has no back bone?  This show has been renewed, but I don't see much of a future for it....another take over by the family?


I saw it.  Let me get this right.  Due to Kendalls interest in scoring drugs, he is now being blamed by his father for the waitor's drowing because a keycard of Kendalls was discovered in the vehicle. So somehow the father figured it all out and Kendall bursts into tears and they hug and father says this is the perfect father/son reconcilliciation.  So no take over after all??  


Kendall is responsible for the waiter's death. He was driving ( even though he said he doesn't drive much because he's rich) a stick shift he wasn't use to because he was so desperate to score drugs. Kendall made no attempt to try to save the waiter, just saved himself ( it reminded me of Ted Kennedy and Chappaquiddick when Mary Jo Kopechne died). I don't feel sorry for any of these characters.

      Not making excuses for Kendall - I think he is a weasel - but he did dive down under several times to look for the waiter!!

Also, Kendall was not the one who drove the car off the road due to using a stick shift he was unfamiliar with. There was a deer in the road and the waiter grabbed the steering wheel so Kendall wouldn't hit it. The car veered off the road and into the water.  Was the deer a hallucination due to the waiter being so high?  I don't know.  kendall didn't seem to react to a deer in the road although everything happened rather quickly.
