Metacritic TV Episode Reviews, With Open Eyes, ...
It seems to have done pretty well critically.
I found it a little underwhelming perhaps, with everything being hastily tied up in the last episode.
What are your thoughts?
I really liked it! In the end, the characters haven't changed and thus their outcome was inevitable. My favorite part is seeing Conner's relationship with Logan in the dinner video. He probably had the best adult relationship with his father that any of them could have had.
Yeah the Conner Logan relationship reveal was interesting. I wonder if Logan was more comfortable around Conner because he didn’t view him as a threat. Or if it was because he wasn’t constantly buzzing around him trying to win his approval. Or a combination of those things.
I've heard talk about exactly this, that he thought he didn't need to fuck Conner over like he did the other kids (like telling all of them individually that they were the one who would get control over the company) and so could just act like a normal guy around him
That makes total sense. Like when you’re talking to a friendly salesman you always have to keep your guard up because you know he wants something from you. You can never fully relax like you do with friends. Meanwhile, he knew Conner didn’t want anything. I mean other than the occasionally asking him to fund a Broadway flop or an asinine presidential campaign. But that’s basically pocket change to a guy like Logan.
