Logan is a tragic character. He'd love to be a pirate, but circumstance makes him definitely not a pirate. But he's got a pirate spirit and that's why probably his life has come to an end. Because he hasn't done what he should have done, which was to be a real pirate in the tradition of Captain Kidd. Instead, he gets more and more suffocated by this wealth and power. It doesn't suit him. And I think that's Logan's curse.
Today, after Kara and Nayeema discuss what the Dominion defamation lawsuit might mean for Rupert Murdoch and News Corp, we turn to a fictional media story of Logan Roy and HBO’s Succession.
