Throughout the first season, Logan was an old-fashioned enterprise founder who was "stubborn". His outdated business theory and slow business strategy made his media empire sluggish, and he was like an old hero. The lion, despite his lack of ability, is still powerful, and the few lion cubs under his knees are not up to the mark. They are arbitrarily manipulated by this elderly family helmsman. The children want to break free from him, but rely on him. If you want to fight against him, but always "die before you get out of school", it's God's will. Let's talk about his children: Connor, the eldest, is a middle-aged useless, naive and naive. If it wasn't for his father being a business tycoon, this kind of person would not have survived to 40 years old in the cruel real world, and would have been played to death. Everyone knows that his "female partner" is running for his money. I went, and I thought of it as "true love". I felt too good about myself, and occasionally played a little cleverness that a three-year-old child could see through, and seemed clumsy and stupid. Although he is the eldest son of the family, he is a clown in the family. The second son, Kendall, does have ideas and ambitions. He has the thinking of a contemporary outstanding enterprise manager and a keen business sense. With these good "advantages", Kendall could have become a qualified heir, but he has a fatal character flaw. , that is "timidity, cowardice", and this is precisely the character flaw that a business leader should not have, which also caused him to have many conflicts and competitions with his father, from the initial confrontation between the two sides gradually evolved into his father One-sided "slaughter" and every time Ken is the loser who was killed without leaving behind! And this ruthlessness and determination are precisely the qualities that his father must have to be a successful person.
The third son, Roman, is a typical "playful boy", pure to the point that he can't be any purer family "scrambler", he is more than bad if he is not successful, and occasionally comes up with a little bad idea and a little cleverness, he thinks that the whole world revolves around him Running, the same naive, but feeling lonely, the "cynicism" possessed by the son of a wealthy family is very obvious in him, with a strong self-contradiction, he hates his father's business empire, and yearns to replace it , Innocent accompanied by evil, a typical sick boy.
The youngest daughter, Shiv, was a superficial "strong woman" who chose to enter politics after breaking away from her family's business. In fact, she was a "strong woman" who had been in the political circle for many years but had not done anything. She was regarded as the "vase" placed by the Roy family in the political circle. She is a "Miss Affectionate" who likes to step on two boats. She is engaged to Tom on this side, and she is deeply connected with her former lover on the other side.
Besides, those "outsiders", Shiv's husband Tom, a typical snob, who wants to rely on the scheming man of the Roy family's prosperity, will take the initiative to come forward to ask for a piece of the pie, and if there is a disadvantage, he will just shirk his responsibility and hide. Far away, for fear of getting dirty. But almost everyone is smarter than him, and can see his little thought, but they don't want to break it.
Finally, let's talk about Greg, a decadent man who is related to the Roy family and desperately wants to "climb the dragon and the phoenix". He used to live at the bottom of the society. Because he has always lived at the bottom of the society, he knows very well that when he lives in such a wealthy family, he He will have no worries about food and clothing all his life. At first, he was a little simple, and only knew how to use flattering words to please the Roy family. Later, when he knew more and more "secrets", the unique despicable nature of being at the bottom of the society began to be exposed. Come out and start to gradually get rewards from the roy family members who ask him to do "dirty" things through various methods, like lice on buffalo, parasites that feed on the blood of festering parts.
On the whole, this drama is like an interlocking Shura field. The members of each family are scheming and are "unscrupulous" for their own interests, and each other does not understand each other's true inner thoughts. There are a lot of dramatic conflicts, the layers of the network are torn a little bit, and the compactness is ingenious and fascinating.
But I have to talk about the shortcomings. The whole drama is more like logan as an animal trainer, playing his four "children" like lion cubs in the palm of his hand, lacking the existence of "opposites" with enough drama , did not show a severe environment of internal and external troubles in a huge empire, which also made the story lack a little sense of urgency. From the beginning to the end, I always hoped that Ken would be "hard-hearted" once, but at the beginning of the hostile takeover, I gave myself to " It's a bit too far-fetched, which also makes the pattern of the first season not open, let's see what changes will be made in the second season.
