I love the way I can already tell each episode will have featured multiple double crosses and double-double-crosses by the time the credits roll.

I was like "oh yeah I guess I'll probably watch this" and then Greg said "terrifyingly moseying" and I instantly remembered how much I need this show in my life

Because my memory is dreadful, I am rewatching season three in preparation for season four. Once again, this scene stands out as an absolute gem, I think because people on this show so rarely say what they actually think without jargon or jokes:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgTtQ7lfr4g

we've been doing likewise, and that scene as well as Ken's dinner show-down with Logan in Tuscany are really excellent for exactly that reason

Should have clarified: Roy kids.
Shiv > Ken > Rome on the sad meter atm.

Shiv's the saddest Roy *right now*. . . who knows. What a hilarious show.

Mondale could just jump over that pen if he wanted, probably just staying in there out of ennui.

Loved Nan’s feigned disgust at talking money, such a rich person control thing.
― limb tins & cum (gyac), Monday, 27 March 2023 17:25 (one year ago) link
Yeah I think the best thing about this episode was the entire Pierce clan's "oh poor old us weren't made for this cutthroat world, I was told there would be no math" act while expertly playing the Roys against each other and coming away with even more $$$$$$$ for their probably moribund company
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 27 March 2023 17:30 (one year ago) link
classic wasp culture lol, love how theyre the old money version of the roys
― lag∞n, Monday, 27 March 2023 17:31 (one year ago) link
Not trying to get ahead of the plot, but it seems to me that since the kids are counting on their take from the company sale to pay for the Pierce acquisition, Logan has ways he can still screw with them. (At this point with this series I just expect that Logan is always going to yank the football away.)

I've given up trying to make the actual business angles in this show make sense, I've decided the show is about the family dynamics and I treat all questions of "who is allowed to sell what to whom under what circumstances" the same way I do "how do the pew-pew guns make sound in space" in my SF
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 27 March 2023 17:41 (one year ago) link
I said last night when Nan showed up, and I still believe this, that I hate the Pierces more than I hate the Roys, they're totally humorless

xp
As a dad, no, I hate the dad who destroyed his own children and won't stop dancing on their broken bodies worse than I hate the Pierces, it's kind of a primal thing
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 27 March 2023 17:44 (one year ago) link
some filmic flourishes in the ep which is always nice to see in a tv show roy kids leaving their prospective investors waiting by their cars then getting left waiting by their cars by the pierces

The semi-meta bit where Logan is clearly missing having the kids around because no one's roasting each other was pretty good

Greg's date had so many signs of spying (the questions about Connor's campaign, the oversized purse, another one or two I forget) that it will be weird if it doesn't go anywhere.
Also thought we were going to see a meeting between the Roys and some Saudi investors, after the mentions that the siblings were keeping that team waiting.
― underwater as a compliment (Eazy), Monday, 27 March 2023 17:51 (one year ago) link
she was spying but just for instagram
― lag∞n, Monday, 27 March 2023 17:53 (one year ago) link
Yeah wasn’t it her Instagram tag that Kendall’s team picked up on?
― limb tins & cum (gyac), Monday, 27 March 2023 17:55 (one year ago) link
It really wouldn't have fit the tone of the show but I would have loved it if the last shot were the Saudi investors standing outside their car still waiting

Connor so protective of his squeezed percent
― limb tins & cum (gyac), Monday, 27 March 2023 17:57 (one year ago) link
But I guess in the plot of the show, the Saudi's have off-camera been sweet-talked by Telly the banker into pivoting along with NewGenRoys to bankroll the Pierce acquisition?
“Apparently, Bun Pierce has been tagged on some girl's Insta at Dad's.”

My big fear is that this season is going to have too much election shit which is what this show does least well imo
