I have no idea how they are going to wrap things up in 90 min! The funeral episode was the best - otherwise, I swear sometimes I do not know what I am watching LOL. My friend and I are going to watch together. We watched the finale of white lotus and had WL themed snacks. We are considering doing the same for tonight, so far I've got Lemon LeCriox, gas station sushi (NOT!), maybe prision omlettes (Tom wanted to see what prision food was like) with some bacon (boar on the floor).  |

I don’t think they’re going to wrap everything up - I think there will be lots of loose ends, which I think is the right thing for a show like this. Their world is too messy to be tied up in neat bows. But I do think it will be a very well done and satisfying ending. I can’t wait.

I cannot read this thread, because we're catching up on season 4, but I am just engrossed in this show. Horrible people doing horrible things! It really gets into my head. I love the show and am sad that it's over.

I thought the finale was really good. I loved how the Roy children thought of no one but themselves from the first to the last episode. They didn’t care about the future direction of the corporation. They didn’t care that they had just influenced the outcome of a presidential election. They didn’t care about the employees who had served their dad for years.
(We didn’t even know the names of Logan’s secretary, his driver, his cook, etc., because these little people didn’t matter to the Roys).
Their only thought was which one of the three of them should succeed their dad. It never occurred to them that the corporation belonged to the shareholders and the Roy’s had no divine right to rule the corporation.
I was sad to see the series end, but I do think it ended in the right way at the right time. |

I am still processing the end. It's funny - I went on a roller coaster for sure, from them fighting about who was successor, to agreeing to Ken and "annointing" him, to Shiv taking back her vote. I HATED Tom from Day 1, and the fact that he's the successor doesn't surprise me. I LOVED when Greg used text to translate and spilled Mattson's beans, and the scene in the bathroom.
This show was very reminiscient of the very first ep, where Ken could just not seal the deal, and Roman is a joke used in a pawn.
And Connor - he's kind of the biggest joke of all. I almost wish they didn't do that to his character. |

I thought it was really good too. I was ready for it to be over (seriously tired of the "Gojo or no Gojo" talk) but was glad how it wrapped up.

I was very disappointed with the writing. The plot was fine, but they blathered on and on and generally ate up time getting to the final decision, only with none of the wit we've come to enjoy. I love the series and thought the resolution fit, but I was having a hard time staying awake.

I loved it. It ended the best way it could. It is what I predicted.

I just can't believe that the mother would invite them all to her house the day after they buried their father just to have her hubby and his friend pitch to them for money. It was just disgusting. Then again, when Kendall fell apart and needed to tell her about his accident she bailed. W/parents like that no wonder they're selfish messes.
My biggest regret was that they didn't continue the storyline w/Greg suing Greenpeace. That would have been hilarious. Horrible people. Horrible. It really got into my head. I'll miss it, but it ended as well as it could. |

I had to come look this thread up because I finally caught up on the episodes I missed and then watched the finale. I thought the ending was perfectly appropriate for each of the characters. They all remained stuck in whatever character flaw or pathos that had stood in their way the whole time.
It was interesting to me that I never found a character to like or pull for in this show. They were all horrible people.
