I can't add much that is new concerning this incredible series. How often can one take a cast of dozens and be able to know them well enough to create a commentary on each. The major characters, of course. The funeral is an example of a sad society, where Logan probably wronged most of the people in attendance, they made it there, perhaps out of a kind of prurience. The Roys are going to go on. They are splintered off the same rotten wood. Kendall fancies himself the leader, but his foundation is made of fragile underpinnings. The rest of the gang, especially Shiv, have very little loyalty when money comes into the picture. Roman is so interesting because below the wisecracks and outrageous behavior, he is just a fragile non-entity. He volunteers to speak at the funeral. But he comes up with a vapid, newspaper like eulogy. When James Cromwell's piercing speech is over, he retreats into nothingness. When Kendall tells him he blew it, it is a typical Roy, knife in the back. The final scene is devastating.
