After a particularly delicate annual general meeting and the bursting at the FBI’s Waystar Royco premises investigating the “cruise” division scandal, we would have almost thought to see the beginning of the end for the king , too fragile to survive both to the denigration campaign led by Kendall and the loss of the support of the White House. We would have wrong. Just as we would be wrong to designate the previous episode (5) as the best of the season. You do not know what awaits you, and this sixth episode is a delicious interlude before a seventh sumptuous. But we will not say anymore.
Although it is the low head that the Roy land in the republican party donor meeting that serves as a framework for episode 6, the clan is preparing to demonstrate its incredible resilience, the one that is the preserve of very rich and very powerful. First of all, there is a stroke of luck, or rather a demonstration of the implacable superiority of Waystar on the family members who created it: the paperwork handed over to the FBI by Logan Roy in the case of the division ” Cruises “is much less incriminating than expected. Especially since Kendall has played an important role in the coverage of the case.
As the threat of a procedure at the severe outcome for his father moves away, the son renegade is pushed into his entrenchments. The high quality of Kendall is that he dares everything, including the coarse maneuvers. He turns out his lawyer, the nevertheless brilliant Lisa Arthur, torn from high struggle at Clan Roy, and decides to devote his forces to the organization of his 40 years. With angry with madness, his collaborators begin to find him less and less funny.

While Kendall is sabording alone, the logan will tighten hands and chat with Republican caciques during a raout whose name – “Freedom Summit” – displays the color. This episode is distinguished by its way of evoking the American political policy, with a first-degree form that is rarely found in the series. There is a question of the future of the party after the withdrawal of the “Gland” (“dry grape” in VO), this president that the media held by the king have dropped by revealing his illness. The fracture lines of the Grand Old Party are drawn with a simplism that is only a reflection of the debate on the right of the current American political chessboard.
