#SIREN SEASON 2 EPISODE 7 RECAP FULL#
The context for Logan’s dressing-down of Shiv toward the end of “Return,” another soul-rending episode in a season full of them, is a trap that he and Rhea have set for her. When he talks about the importance of family, his words are emptier than those of Breaking Bad’s Walter White, who professed repeatedly that he wanted to sell meth to keep his wife and children comfortable after he died, but kept on cooking long after he had so much cash he was burying it in the desert. Because for Logan, “family” is mostly a cudgel to beat and manipulate them to his own ends. But that’s a distraction to us as viewers as much as it’s a distraction to the Roy children, who are forever jockeying for position. We are told that, ostensibly, it’s important to Logan that Waystar Royco is eventually bequeathed to one of his children, and we’re engaged every week in the eternal horserace to determine which one has the edge - or, more precisely, which one is fucking up the least. Succession is a show about family all right, but the extent to which such a bond matters to Logan Roy and his children is tied up in manipulation and abuse, and the corrupting power of money. “Family, Shioban! If you don’t understand that, then fuck off!”
