La Cugina Cousin - — Italian Incest -

An aging, tyrannical patriarch (Logan Roy, John Dutton) has built an empire. His children are both his greatest disappointments and his pawns. The Complexity: The children cannot kill the father (metaphorically or literally) because they need his validation. Yet, they cannot live as free adults while he breathes. The drama is a slow-motion autopsy of power and dependency. Why We Watch: It asks the brutal question: If you took away the money and power, would this family even like each other? (The answer is almost always no).
