Logan, of course, would not have liked to see his children getting along. This is a problem because Logan isn’t dead, not entirely. “Living+” announces this in its first shot, taken from the company video that he made shortly before his death—here is the head of Logan Roy, cryogenically preserved in pixels, a hologram of Zeus. There he is, glaring up at Roman in the car or beaming his gruff approval toward Kendall at the launch of Living+, Waystar Royco’s foray into retirement communities.
