How old are you people? It's funny how many will use the phrase jumping the shark, usually wrong, but don't know what St Elsewhere was about? This is why tv lists on reddit rarely seem to hit the last century. These are the shows people should binge, because many are the reasons the shows popular today, came about.

Most likely inspired by Murdoch selling off the lion's share of Fox and just keeping the shitty news company.

I'd guess that Logan is successful in cutting the kids out, sells everything except ATN which he takes personal control of, and it's up in the air whether the kids even get a golden parachute. I'd guess Greg and Tom will have a moral choice over whether or not to take roles at ATN under Logan, it's open to them if they want it.

Logan pretty clearly seems to have ruled out each of the kids for the top job, and like Hyman Roth in Godfather pt2, he's planning as if he's going to live virtually forever. He appears to already be baking a new batch of Roys.

Shaw from Person of Interest.

Her psychopathy kind of came and went as the story demanded it, but I was particularly fond of the flashback to her time as a surgeon, where she's reprimanded for eating a snack and emotionlessly telling a family their relative died on the operating table. At the end it's revealed she actually worked desperately hard to save their life.

Entire series-Hannibal in Hannibal. For an episode Law & Order-Killerz-Jennie played by Hallee Hirsch. That one pitted Olivet against Skoda. And the ending still is kind of creepy. Makes you look at kids in a whole nother light....

psychopath are not all “villains”, although they are mainly portrayed as such in movies due to their lack of empathy. This makes them successful in business since they have no issues in throwing someone under the proverbial bus. For them, it’s all about winning, and their ego. They are often charming and intelligent. Lying comes naturally to them, and won’t be bothered by guilt or remorse.
