Retired Janitors of Idaho

This episode encapsulated an issue I've had with season 3 as a whole, which is that while the writing, acting, and production values remain better than anything else on television, the season as a whole feels like it's just running in place. The critics really hyped up this episode as a standout, and while it was in many respects (the palpable tension and cringe comedy were at peak levels), it also felt bizarrely inconsequential despite bringing the two most teased elements of the plot (Sandy/Stewy and the shareholder vote) to a head. And Logan's illness felt amped-up to contrived levels in this episode, as if it was just an excuse for the writers to facilitate the central conflict. This season has been curiously devoid of what made season 2 so strong - each episode being centered around the Roys in a different environment that puts them through the ringer in unique ways. I'm afraid the pandemic may have had something to do with it, given that group scenes were more difficult to film. The episodes seem to now be largely centered around one location and a particular subset of characters rather than the entire family. This episode definitely felt bigger and more propulsive than the rest of the season, but it wasn't the turning point that we were led to believe it was, and I'm waiting for this season to actually change the dramatic stakes in a meaningful way.

This episode just continues to prove that the writing and acting in this show is impeccable. This episode does a great job at invoking the true rawness and frustration that goes behind pivotal moments such as a shareholder meeting when the position of your company hangs in the balance. The standout character of this episode would be Shiv who, like any other Roy, has her faults but in this episode she shows signs of being a real powerful force and proves to show that she may be the most level headed, and decisive Roy when it comes to tumultuous situations. This was an excellent episode in an excellent show, in what continues to be an excellent season.

First of all, Greg. What on earth is going on? He is spineless and wants to play both sides against each other. What he has done is get himself disinherited from his rich grandfather who is ready to give his estate to Greepeace. He has goofed up every encounter with his sycophantic drivel and he has shown no loyalty to either side. When Logan ends up treating a UTI, he goes into a kind of catatonia because of failure to use his meds. The whole gang now is involved in the annual shareholder's meeting when Logan decides to turn down the big deal, leaving everyone to speculate what an unbalanced mind is indicated. Strong episode. Well acted and directed.

The episode started off good with Kendall fighting against Logan and the family going into the shareholders meeting. That's when they threw out the script and decided to improvise. Everybody is yelling at each other once they realize that the best antagonist in this show is incoherent. They were tap dancing for a while and i was just waiting for the music to play... love this show overall but this episode made me write a review !

An improvement on the previous episode, great deals made, and glorious business stuff! I love the music so much it's so exciting, it flows well with everything. I really like the line "I just do what my dad says". Karl Bueller is great especially in this episode and so is everyone else; I hope Brian Cox is ok he seems to be struggling quite a lot! I wonder what's gonna be decided about CEO eventually if need be.
