Tyrant season 1, episode 8: Meet the New Boss airs tonight on FX.
Fed up with Jamal’s unpredictable and violent nature, Barry conspires to start a coup and remove his brother from office. At the same time, Jamal is so moved by Barry’s willingness to do the unthinkable and hasten Sheik Rashid’s demise that he stops at nothing to prove his worth to his brother.
