So Royce is back for the long-awaited third season of Jesse Armstrong’s hit drama “Heritage”, just in time for Halloween. As it happens? I don’t think so. The Legacy quickly shaped like an American dream reinterpreted. As a super-rich corpse with a title attached to a runaway ghost train.
At the total end of the final series, the steel-haired patriarch Logan:
Played by Brian Cox with poetic brutality. He is supported by his son Kendall (Jeremy Strong). Who succumbs to being a human victim in the scandal surrounding Royco’s Waystar transgression. In this new nine-part series, shining Logan (“I grind his bones to make his bread”). And contemplates his next move with his staff and descendants. Which applies to Logan as well.

As for the other kids, there’s Shiv Sarah Snook (soul Wednesday, Adams cooks in whatever work clothes you want). The dead Connor (Alan Ruck). Who someday may no longer be in Logan’s will because they will forget him, and Osaka Roman (Kieran Culkin). Who is one day expelled from Logan’s will for being remembered?
Then there’s Gary (J. Smith-Cameron), who is still ahead of Roman’s quasi-Oedipal feat. And Tom, Shiva’s husband, is played by Matthew McFadyen as half-human, half whining. Kendall, meanwhile, is on a high level of justice, ordering Greg (Nicholas Brown) to assess how his “principled” position plays out with the masses. “Obviously the Internet is big,” Greg said, pressing his phone pitifully. “I can’t read them all.”
Shots unfold like evil hallucinations – shamans; People smoking grass on the dome.
Logan thinks about shrinking business opportunities: “Maybe I didn’t want to take my panties off so soon”. So this final game of Thrones with helicopters, stock prices, situational fear, family paranoia, and unusual comedic chukars. The Legacy is certainly less crowded, but that doesn’t detract from its true splendour.
Looking ahead, there are new faces (Sana Latan as ace lawyer Lisa Arthur; Alexander Skarsgård; Adrienne Brody) and new topics, one of which is particularly fragile. Kendall may be a perpetual adventurer who’d instead burn down. An entire bloody theatre than spend a moment in the wings. But maybe Logan will finally face his greatest fear. Perhaps only in season three: it doesn’t matter. Until then, the descendants were still pouring boiling water on the selfish and hasty ants. Enjoy.

As he passed the opener, Paulson regretted wearing the thick suit;
Feldstein is as heartbreaking as the chatter, falling in love with Lewinsky, despite his sometimes youthful appearance. As Clinton, Clive Owen looks odd and resembles a dangerously dehydrated Tony Bennett. But he convincingly portrays a sexual opportunist trying to shake off his precarious conquest in later episodes. He didn’t need it to portray Trip, not as a monster. But as a busy narcissistic man angry at being kicked out of the White House by the Pentagon. The impeachment process should speed up. The first episode slips into a tight pump. But as a study of historical sexism/misogyny, seen through the lens of #MeToo, it can be interesting.
Also, in Washington, DC, an intense full-length documentary by Jamie Roberts and Dan Reid, Four Hours of the Capitol. Which recounts January 6 of that year when a crowd of “patriots” gathered in the US capital against a “stolen” Joe Biden election victory. As politicians initially ignored and horrified employees hide under desks. A dangerous armed mob crawls through the barrier, past the far superior police force and into the Capitol.
The Capitol invasion was a real turning point on Independence Day. When the aliens were replaced by “poor man” Hillary Clinton. Bright and conscientious, Four Hours appears. As a memorial to the strength of the crowd. With the sad maga hat sideband painted with tear gas and kept as a souvenir.
The BBC documentary series Four Nature and Us. Which presented by art historian James Fox, explores man’s relationship to nature through the history of art and examines how humans break away. From metamorphosis and the sense of belonging to nature and try to free it from control.

Last week’s opening followed a path that deviated from prehistory:
Cave paintings with an emphasis on animals to early Christian art place the focus on humans. The second episode covers China from the 7th realm of conquerors and exploiters.
This is a complex but exciting area, and Fox and his various talking heads are knowledgeable and engaging. Inspirational messages about climate are conveyed through nature and us and more.
