Trisher, I too wondered how much was based on the Murdochs. I also wondered if it was about the Trumps, Trump’s father was very like Logan Roy. I felt for Kendall during the third series, the way his father used what happened at his sister’s wedding against him, constantly twisting the knife in what was obviously a very deep wound and the way he broke down to his siblings at the end moved me very much. I also found a modicum of humanity in Roman in the scenes with the three siblings but I thought Shiv was the one most like her father and the way she treated her husband showed that. I also think it is one if the best series for tv, a study in family relationships and how power corrupts, also a brilliant black comedy. You may like to watch the series about Roger Ailes who set up Fox News, another odious human being brilliantly played by Russell Crowe. It is called The Loudest Voice and is on Sky Atlantic and Now tv. Harriet Walter was very good as the mother, what a cold fish. Cousin Greg entered the family as such an innocent but by the end he had sold his soul, as he said, ‘who needs a soul anyway?’ I could go on and on about how brilliant it is but I realise it isn’t for everybody.
