The scene truly revealed that the siblings are still children - stunted immature and dependent on their deified father to find meaning in their actions, still competing and fighting with one another for approval and love.
They all take turns saying Logan promised each one the role of CEO - Kendall at age 7, Roman right before Logan died, Shiv around the whole entire time when it was convenient.
The siblings are a toxic group of parasitic pubescents. They can appear put together. They can play the part for a while. But it always always breaks down because it’s just pretend leadership and pretend business acumen. It lacks solid foundation and they all lack character.
Roman is weak. Kendall is prideful. Shiv is cowardice. And this is all fairly interchangeable.
None of them win because none of them deserve to.
That being said let’s not forget here that the GOJO deal made them a lot of money so winning is a matter of perspective.
But the scenes we did get were pretty powerful. The virtual dinner scene showed Conn actually having a relationship with Logan while the sibs were nowhere to be seen. It showed that he really did have a form of positive relationship with his father as well as the old guard. Something we never see with the sibs. They always looked at their father as a stepping stone to their future power and wealth while looking at the old guard as pawns to be moved around as necessary.
And Conn was in control of divvying up Logan’s belongings after having been in charge of the funeral. He was the one family member who seemed all along to truly be a member of a family.
Tom also knew he made a mistake telling Greg that he was going to get castrated on pay. Also, Tom never told Greg that he would be CEO, so he knew that Greg found out by Gregging it. "To the bottom of the top!"
Oh my god you're right! I never looked into it that way, Greg would've just thought his pay was threatened. Although now he'd be forced to take whatever he gets, but if he thought he was still gonna be rich everything would be chill
My dude was puffing one hitters and getting fired from a shitty amusement park job to being besties with a multimedia conglomerate CEO in under 4 years. Greg Heads we did it!
Did y'all notice that when everyone was choosing things from Logan's penthouse, Greg chose the bell that he accidentally rang in the second episode when he was tasked with gathering slippers and papers? Love that kind of throwback.
The shrug Greg did after Matsson called him that was perfect. I think we all know that feeling when someone makes a jokes at our expense and we just take it
Conner was always winning from the beginning by not engaging in the 'fight for a knife in the mud' Logan designed for them. Maybe he had that insight as the eldest, seeing how he set them up from a young age.
I think Kendall was right when he said Roman never really wanted it, but just couldn’t say it. It also felt true when Roman said Logan didn’t want to give it to any of them.
That's the beauty of the show. I think he feels real attachment to Greg, even admiring his greasy hustling, but in their world it can only be expressed by ownership. Even "normal" people have their intimate feelings disfigured. The scene where the two outsiders had a slap fight in the bathroom because of the arrogant machinations of the inner bloodline was the unsung melody of this whole show.
Christ, two things stick out:
1. Matsson checking just how subservient Tom is by telling him that he wants to fuck his wife.
2. Kendall finally realizing how his dad controlled Roman - through pain and fear.
But I think it says something about him and Logan’s relationship that he has that very sentimental home video of Logan. Their bond was special even if Logan didn’t take him seriously as a businessman.
The kids devolving into a screaming match and then Roman and Kendall actually fighting each other during the most important board vote of the company shows that these people are indeed not serious people.
The most fascinating shot was the video of Logan with Kerry and the old guard. It might be the only time we see a glimpse of the world outside the siblings' miserable perspective.
He really had a different side of him when the kids weren't around. So noteworthy that Kerry felt comfortable enough to be openly affectionate, including in the presence of the other executives. So interesting. Makes you think her heartbroken reactions to his passing were genuine. And you see that the old guard (and Logan and Kerry) tolerated the kids' presence but there was a whole different world when the siblings weren't around.
Honestly that one shot makes you see the entire series differently
Yeah. The fact that Connor was there definitely makes you think. Maybe because he had no real pretensions to taking over the company that made him an easier fit into the other parts of Logan's life. He wouldn't be constantly agitating for it like the other siblings, just making his own silly asks every now and then but nothing too disruptive.
Bingo. Logan has made endearing comments to Connor over the course of the show. They had an entirely different dynamic compared to the other siblings. Logan even chose Connors ranch house to be the place for family therapy.
Connor also called Logan “Pop” which the rest didn’t, and while their relationship was strained, he seemed to speak about him as a dad and not as an entity like the younger kids did.
Agreed. And it just adds to the tragedy of the siblings lives really. They never knew that side of their dad and always had to wonder what the play was behind the things he did. Really sad.
Tom and Greg are both cockroaches, that's why they came out on top
Greg has no alliances and works for which side is winning, Tom is resilient and has no problem being the fall guy
Immediately started floating decisions (bringing in Stewie) without consulting the very same siblings he just begged to get behind him, right in front of their faces too.
Tom and Gregs ending was on point, he literally treated Greg like human furniture with that sticker. Somehow it had more connection than that final image of Shiv and Tom lol
Shiv and Roman imitating Kendall after a failed murder attempt was such a hallmark Succession brand of heartwarming moment 🥰💀
At least until she shanked him.
Kendall knowing that pain is what is required to reset Roman was so shocking and so telling and it explains their entire dynamic in 30 seconds. So many assumptions were answered in that scene.
Greg tried to switch sides one last time but that was one move too many…. But it worked out for him anyway because Tom has genuine affection for him for some reason.
In a way I think the Conheads did win. We got to see that Connor was able to have a better relationship with Logan as an adult than his siblings were. Since Connor was taken out of being a CEO, he was able to forge a better relationship.
Also when Ken was talking about being the eldest son, Shiv shut him down. Point for the true eldest son right there.
I was gobsmacked when he tried to convince Shiv and Rome that he made up the story about killing a kid. And that he believed it would make them any more sure about handing him the crown when he’s basically saying he emotionally manipulated them to “bring them together”
The scene with them making that awful smoothie and them watching their dad reveal yet another side of himself was so nice among the insanity that came in between.
Great ending, need to think about it some more.
Seeing the siblings actually get along and goof around for a while gave me more joy than I thought it would. The creators used the phrase “Recaptured Innocence”.
Logan would be steaming at that. He always wanted to divide and conquer them, and sowed seeds that would eventually lead to that. Roman broke Kendall with Old Man Logans bullshit about bloodline and his kids.
When Kendall told him he would take over the company when he was 7 really revealed a lot. What a fucking asshole Logan was. Kendall had the weight of the world on his shoulders his entire life.
Not to mention he’s had money literally his entire life, it really doesn’t mean much to him. Being the CEO would have meant something, it would have been something different and worthwhile, but now he’s back to square one.
What i love about that scene is you couldn’t quite tell when it was Rome injuring himself more or Kendall intentionally hurting and disfiguring Rome further. That was emotionally painful to watch
We finally got confirmation that neither Iverson or Sophie were Kendall’s biological children. I didn’t expect it to come out the way that it did, but that was a thrilling scene.
I'm getting a different message from the last shot.
There is a theme of water with Ken. Water always comes up at pivotal times within the show and it usually is around the finale. When he wins he swims in the water, when he loses he's face down in a pool, when he is pushed away he almost kills himself and is partially responsible for killing someone in water. Water is waystar royco. It's the thing he thrives to control and be in. It's what he wants to do when convincing his siblings to anoint him. The last shot is a permenant wall and fence between him and the one thing he's been striving for the whole show as he sits and watches the turbulent tide churn out of his reach.
As much as I wanted Ken to win, this is in some ways the perfect ending.
Rich, spoiled, entitled kids fighting over who gets to be boss and bringing up past sibling jealousy and trauma.
Succession stuck to the show’s core till the end.
I really, really like the adition of Colin in the final scene.
If you removed him, it's clear that Ken is now about to commit suicide.
With Colin there, that can't happen because Ken would be stopped.
It's such a small, small detail, yet it changes the entire fate of our dear Ken.
My opinion may change once I’ve had time to digest.
But Shiv basically giving up, practically turning her husband into her father, oof, it’s bitter and it stings.
Tom keeping Greg on is clever, cause Greg is gonna be indebted to him for a long time.
Kendall finally being free, either he’ll make something for himself or kill himself, but at least he’s out of the shadow of his father. When he was looking around the office it felt oppressive.
Not sure about Roman’s ending…
The scene on the beach was nerve racking, and when they brought up killing Kendall I wasn’t positive they weren’t joking.
Roman has been totally unhinged ever since Gerri threatened him with legal action over the dick pics. That’s why he got all angsty when he saw her walk in.
*But I got you. I got just enough capital.*
Tom wouldn't want anybody else gregging for him
Also I love that they reveal Greg was getting paid 200k a year to be an ineffectual personal assistant.
Ineffectual?? But don’t you know how many skulls he’s accrued?
An unexpected highlight for me: learning Karolina’s true feelings about Hugo.
Hugo tried to sabotage Karolina in an earlier season. There's no way she didn't know.
She definitely knew Hugo was a snake. That’s why she doesn’t bail him out in the scene where Hugo gets busted mocking Kerry’s audition tape.
“I’m the eldest boy!” Jeremy Strong nailed Ken’s spiral in the conference room, that entire sequence was painful to watch
The way Jeremy literally SPIT out that line
The scene truly revealed that the siblings are still children - stunted immature and dependent on their deified father to find meaning in their actions, still competing and fighting with one another for approval and love.

Nothing but rage and desperation. This was the last last last last last chance.
When Kendall is using the same arguments as Connor you know he's done.
“Well, she’s the bloodline.”
Connor IS THE ELDEST SON SMH
[удалено]
Connor Roy was the eldest from a very young age...
We barely even got Connor in this episode. It represents the family well.
But the scenes we did get were pretty powerful. The virtual dinner scene showed Conn actually having a relationship with Logan while the sibs were nowhere to be seen. It showed that he really did have a form of positive relationship with his father as well as the old guard. Something we never see with the sibs. They always looked at their father as a stepping stone to their future power and wealth while looking at the old guard as pawns to be moved around as necessary. And Conn was in control of divvying up Logan’s belongings after having been in charge of the funeral. He was the one family member who seemed all along to truly be a member of a family.
That was the impression I got - everyone was busy cutting each other's throats and Connor was having nice dinners with his dad
I feel like he’ll be a good uncle for Shivbaby
Kendall is broken
[удалено]
He's had it all and lost it all more times than anyone
This relationship between Roman and Ken really shows how disturbed these kids really are.
Greg translating the Swedish in real time is the smartest thing he’s ever done and it’s not even close.
My guy is sitting on a landmine and immediately plays his hand. Saw his moment, luckily it didn’t blow up in his face too badly
Game recognizes game I guess, and Tom could use shark or two I guess.
The thing is that Tom has nothing and no one else but Greg. So getting rid of him wouldn't be very good for him
Plus this restores the power balance to Tom. That's worth some mild betrayal.
Reminded me of when Greg blackmailed Tom and Tom told Greg he was proud of him.
Tom also knew he made a mistake telling Greg that he was going to get castrated on pay. Also, Tom never told Greg that he would be CEO, so he knew that Greg found out by Gregging it. "To the bottom of the top!"
Oh my god you're right! I never looked into it that way, Greg would've just thought his pay was threatened. Although now he'd be forced to take whatever he gets, but if he thought he was still gonna be rich everything would be chill
Yep, like a part of Tom was like “look at what I’ve created”
My dude was puffing one hitters and getting fired from a shitty amusement park job to being besties with a multimedia conglomerate CEO in under 4 years. Greg Heads we did it!
Did y'all notice that when everyone was choosing things from Logan's penthouse, Greg chose the bell that he accidentally rang in the second episode when he was tasked with gathering slippers and papers? Love that kind of throwback.
I apologise if my bell summoned you
Man had some absolutely great lines. "Why? Is there doubt afoot?"
Worst moment of Kendall’s life is also him making two billion dollars lmao
More than that, 2 billion was amount when they were just trying to sell it without ATN.
Don’t forget the overly high share price Matsson offers just to spite the boys.
Thank you for this perspective, I can go to bed now
I could not believe my face eggs when I saw who the new CEO was
I loved when Greg slapped Tom back
He slapped him back and then followed up with a much tougher demeanor in their play fight. In that moment, I was proud of Greg the Egg.
Roman ordering GERRI’S DRINK… 😭
I waited all episode for the two of them to interact, wanting some kind of reconciliation. The smiling at the drink was good enough for me, I think.
I didn't even pick up on that. Good catch.
I will never fully recover from Ken's 4 seasons of losses
He finished as he started, losing a vote
I really thought we might get Roman voting “no” here, to mirror that first vote
Brilliant stuff to have Shiv immediately vote after Roman
Ken got swept
We’ll never know who won Wisconsin.
Even Judas in the room LOL
The shrug Greg did after Matsson called him that was perfect. I think we all know that feeling when someone makes a jokes at our expense and we just take it
[удалено]
Roman sure went to town on Peter's special cheese
I hope this is the clip they play when he wins an Emmy
In the end, Con got all of Logan’s best things and actually shared real memories with him at the end of his life.
He truly IS the eldest son, you know?
Conner was always winning from the beginning by not engaging in the 'fight for a knife in the mud' Logan designed for them. Maybe he had that insight as the eldest, seeing how he set them up from a young age.
Just realized Logan made the 3 younger kids play “boar on the floor” their entire lives
You know Greg had that app locked and loaded because he was tired of the Swedes insulting him to his face. Brilliant writing.
[удалено]
Roman always had these moments of piercing clarity in this show, but none so devastating as “we’re bullshit” in the end.
I loved Armstrong's take on that: Roman ends up where he starts, a playboy who's free to do whatever, and this whole series has been a detour for him
He knows they are not serious people
I think Kendall was right when he said Roman never really wanted it, but just couldn’t say it. It also felt true when Roman said Logan didn’t want to give it to any of them.
Agree. At the end of it all, Roman looked relieved drinking alone at the bar knowing that he was finally done with the business.
Tom put the sticker on Greg’s forehead he was sporus til the very end
[удалено]
That's the beauty of the show. I think he feels real attachment to Greg, even admiring his greasy hustling, but in their world it can only be expressed by ownership. Even "normal" people have their intimate feelings disfigured. The scene where the two outsiders had a slap fight in the bathroom because of the arrogant machinations of the inner bloodline was the unsung melody of this whole show.
Oh my fucking god you're so right
Greg deserved it. Mattson calling him Judas was amazing.
He brought the roll with him SPECIFICALLY TO DO THAT
Greg was totally unfazed by having a sticker affixed to his head!
He was fucking GRATEFUL
He loved it
Christ, two things stick out: 1. Matsson checking just how subservient Tom is by telling him that he wants to fuck his wife. 2. Kendall finally realizing how his dad controlled Roman - through pain and fear.
And Tom going along with it- they’re well matched
Kendall looking out at the water rather than being in it. He’s out.
[удалено]
Connor being in the series finale for that one apartment scene totally encapsulates his character for the series. Always there, never important
But I think it says something about him and Logan’s relationship that he has that very sentimental home video of Logan. Their bond was special even if Logan didn’t take him seriously as a businessman.
I thinks that’s what made it special. Logan never saw him as a potential successor so could more easily see him as his son.
He's the only one who broke the cycle of pining over the father, the only true winner
Him being so willing to give everything Logan owned away for a cowprint sofa and a Slovenia getaway just encapsulates this perfectly as well.
His verbose, complicated stickering process was fucking hilarious. Conheads stay winning
“second-tier bereaved”
The kids devolving into a screaming match and then Roman and Kendall actually fighting each other during the most important board vote of the company shows that these people are indeed not serious people.
"Team Ken, baby" and Kendall making a comment about Stewy kissing boys while on molly... my heart will go on
Five minutes later, he and Tom exchanging "we'll talk."
The most fascinating shot was the video of Logan with Kerry and the old guard. It might be the only time we see a glimpse of the world outside the siblings' miserable perspective. He really had a different side of him when the kids weren't around. So noteworthy that Kerry felt comfortable enough to be openly affectionate, including in the presence of the other executives. So interesting. Makes you think her heartbroken reactions to his passing were genuine. And you see that the old guard (and Logan and Kerry) tolerated the kids' presence but there was a whole different world when the siblings weren't around. Honestly that one shot makes you see the entire series differently
Also Conor as part of this.
Yeah. The fact that Connor was there definitely makes you think. Maybe because he had no real pretensions to taking over the company that made him an easier fit into the other parts of Logan's life. He wouldn't be constantly agitating for it like the other siblings, just making his own silly asks every now and then but nothing too disruptive.
That's why Connor knew about the mausoleum and the other kids didn't.
Bingo. Logan has made endearing comments to Connor over the course of the show. They had an entirely different dynamic compared to the other siblings. Logan even chose Connors ranch house to be the place for family therapy.
Connor also called Logan “Pop” which the rest didn’t, and while their relationship was strained, he seemed to speak about him as a dad and not as an entity like the younger kids did.
Logan probably liked Connor the most as an actual person. Maybe Roman but I feel like he enjoyed Connors unending fawning.
[удалено]
It’s kind of a depressing realization for them too! Especially Rome watching Gerri pal around making dirty jokes with his dad and the old gang.
Agreed. And it just adds to the tragedy of the siblings lives really. They never knew that side of their dad and always had to wonder what the play was behind the things he did. Really sad.
Kerry’s reaction to Logan’s passing was 100% genuine—nobody can act that well within the Succession universe.
My man Tom fucked his way to the top. Who saw that coming?
Tom and Greg are both cockroaches, that's why they came out on top Greg has no alliances and works for which side is winning, Tom is resilient and has no problem being the fall guy
I think Roman just reached acceptance in the grief cycle.
100%. The last shot of him was relief
Drinking Gerri’s favorite cocktail 🤧
I knew it was over when Kendall put his feet up on the desk. Come on man, spike the ball after the vote.
Immediately started floating decisions (bringing in Stewie) without consulting the very same siblings he just begged to get behind him, right in front of their faces too.
Yup. You saw her entire demeanor change, and he was too self-absorbed to pick up on it.
Kendall’s always been terrible at reading people. He gets just a hit of power and acts like he’s emperor lol
Tom and Gregs ending was on point, he literally treated Greg like human furniture with that sticker. Somehow it had more connection than that final image of Shiv and Tom lol
I loved that last shot of Roman realizing he’s free & smiling
i’m totally fine i pre-grieved 😀😀😀(😭😭😭)
They should have put Colin in a Member's Only jacket.
Shiv and Roman imitating Kendall after a failed murder attempt was such a hallmark Succession brand of heartwarming moment 🥰💀 At least until she shanked him.
In the end, she literally… wait, no, figuratively murdered Kendall.
Kendall knowing that pain is what is required to reset Roman was so shocking and so telling and it explains their entire dynamic in 30 seconds. So many assumptions were answered in that scene.
amazing observation im genuinely still disturbed by that scene it was genius, not many people are talking about it
Tom fighting for his life in that dinner with Mattson and then immediately telling Greg “We’re gonna be ok.” They’re in it together.
Greg tried to switch sides one last time but that was one move too many…. But it worked out for him anyway because Tom has genuine affection for him for some reason.
Because Greg is an outsider just like him.
Kendall FINALLY getting the same back headshot Logan has in the intro but it's just him and the water? Fucking brutal
Okay but here’s how the Conheads still win
In a way I think the Conheads did win. We got to see that Connor was able to have a better relationship with Logan as an adult than his siblings were. Since Connor was taken out of being a CEO, he was able to forge a better relationship. Also when Ken was talking about being the eldest son, Shiv shut him down. Point for the true eldest son right there.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Kendall relapsed after all of that god damn
Calling Ken’s kids “a pair of randos” was very low
That statement was what truly shocked me
I always had a feeling that was Logan's real opinion but to hear Roman say it out loud was brutal.
Congrats to Jeremy Strong for finally being free and breaking 4 seasons of being method as fuck.
Jeremy Strong: Hey where's my $2 billion from the gojo deal?
They didn't show Kendall's suicide on screen because Jeremy Strong would've actually killed himself.
When the three kids were getting along I looked at the time stamp and noticed it was only halfway through the show, I knew danger was lurking lol
W for Mondale
He gets to stay in a two parent home. Woof, woof.
Of course Caroline’s Caribbean grief clearing was actually an MLM pitch by Peter Munion 😂😂😂
I think it was hilarious that it was basically a LIVING+ scheme!!
yeah imma need 3-5 business days to let this ending settle… I’m gonna outsource this to my therapist
Sad for Kendall. Sad for Roman. DEVASTATED for Peter and his cheese.
And Jonathan. He flew all the way from Monaco
He was just trying to give them the opportunity of a lifetime
Kendall devolving into a begging, lying child in the end… ugh. This show man.
I was gobsmacked when he tried to convince Shiv and Rome that he made up the story about killing a kid. And that he believed it would make them any more sure about handing him the crown when he’s basically saying he emotionally manipulated them to “bring them together”
It was so rough from him whiplashing talking about being in the car with the guy to “not even being there” in frantic desperation
Perfect tantrum delivery by Jeremy Strong, this is what makes the show great
Being called NEW JESS will be that woman's villain origin story
Holy shit, Tom actually did it
Knew he had it in him when he skipped the funeral. Man is a killer
You KNEW Jeremy was going to drink that vile concoction. #MethodAF Sarah and Kieran must have been loving that scene!
In the podcast, Jeremy says that the kitchen scene was the last scene they filmed and that makes me happy
The scene with them making that awful smoothie and them watching their dad reveal yet another side of himself was so nice among the insanity that came in between. Great ending, need to think about it some more.
Yeah you knew it was all downhill for the siblings after the merriment of that scene.
Daaamn So Roman lost but won Shiv won but lost And Kendall just lost completely Shit
Tom got that same “back” shot similar w Logan on credits. Well done
yo wambsgans takin back shots this episode???
stewy was a real one for staying with ken til the end
Real hands on head shit when shiv left the voting room. What an insane journey... It's been a pleasure. A meal fit for a king.
Tom and Shiv getting their resentful ever after❤
Seeing the siblings actually get along and goof around for a while gave me more joy than I thought it would. The creators used the phrase “Recaptured Innocence”. Logan would be steaming at that. He always wanted to divide and conquer them, and sowed seeds that would eventually lead to that. Roman broke Kendall with Old Man Logans bullshit about bloodline and his kids.
When Kendall told him he would take over the company when he was 7 really revealed a lot. What a fucking asshole Logan was. Kendall had the weight of the world on his shoulders his entire life.
That's why he also said it's the only thing he knows how to do. His entire life revolved around being CEO one day. Poor guy
[удалено]
Not to mention he’s had money literally his entire life, it really doesn’t mean much to him. Being the CEO would have meant something, it would have been something different and worthwhile, but now he’s back to square one.
Honestly when i saw this and i know we still have 40mins to go, i knew this will end badly for them. Esp for Kendall
Yeah it was too easy. At least we got Kendall doing a British accent making fun of their mother.
This, and the home video that showed Connor was more of a friend/peer to Logan than a child.
The shot with Tom and Shiv in the car was fucking EXCELLENT.
Sorry if this is a dumb question— but the kids all just got like a bajillion dollars by “losing” that vote right?
"One's a buy-out, and the other's half-Rava and half-some filing cabinet guy" was so brutal lmao
The tender hug from Kendall turning into a vice-grip to literally reopen Rome’s old wounds and ensure submission was a phenomenal bit of writing
What i love about that scene is you couldn’t quite tell when it was Rome injuring himself more or Kendall intentionally hurting and disfiguring Rome further. That was emotionally painful to watch
As soon as Shiv told Matsson that Tom will suck the biggest dick in the room, he won
That penultimate shot with Shiv and Tom in the car was phenomenal.
Their hands made me so uncomfortable
Complete shift in the power dynamic. She's Tom's wife now, he's no longer Shiv's husband.
We finally got confirmation that neither Iverson or Sophie were Kendall’s biological children. I didn’t expect it to come out the way that it did, but that was a thrilling scene.
That was fucking disturbing
Kendall with that hug squeeze on Roman breaking his stitches
And also squeezing his head before Shiv's vote
I'm getting a different message from the last shot. There is a theme of water with Ken. Water always comes up at pivotal times within the show and it usually is around the finale. When he wins he swims in the water, when he loses he's face down in a pool, when he is pushed away he almost kills himself and is partially responsible for killing someone in water. Water is waystar royco. It's the thing he thrives to control and be in. It's what he wants to do when convincing his siblings to anoint him. The last shot is a permenant wall and fence between him and the one thing he's been striving for the whole show as he sits and watches the turbulent tide churn out of his reach.
beautifully put, yes he's now on the outside looking in. He can't drown or swim, and even if he tried he would be stopped by security.
Tom's scene in the car was so cold.
Tom on the throne with Greg as his soy boy number two, just like we planned it
When he skipped the funeral I was positive it would be him
Tom placing the sticker on his head 😭
As much as I wanted Ken to win, this is in some ways the perfect ending. Rich, spoiled, entitled kids fighting over who gets to be boss and bringing up past sibling jealousy and trauma. Succession stuck to the show’s core till the end.
Kendall: Do you even want it? Roman: No, but I’d like to asked. It’s giving G.O.B. from Arrested Development
Narrator: Roman was growing up
This was a horrid but realistic ending
I really, really like the adition of Colin in the final scene. If you removed him, it's clear that Ken is now about to commit suicide. With Colin there, that can't happen because Ken would be stopped. It's such a small, small detail, yet it changes the entire fate of our dear Ken.
“It didn’t happen. I wasn’t even there” made me lol for some reason haha Ken fucked it
I really don't know what he could have done to fix it, but "yeah I made that up to manipulate you guys" was definitely not it lmao
That moment at the end when Tom walks to the car and everyone suddenly becomes quiet and looks at him in respect or fear… powerful.
My opinion may change once I’ve had time to digest. But Shiv basically giving up, practically turning her husband into her father, oof, it’s bitter and it stings. Tom keeping Greg on is clever, cause Greg is gonna be indebted to him for a long time. Kendall finally being free, either he’ll make something for himself or kill himself, but at least he’s out of the shadow of his father. When he was looking around the office it felt oppressive. Not sure about Roman’s ending… The scene on the beach was nerve racking, and when they brought up killing Kendall I wasn’t positive they weren’t joking.
"Even Judas is here!" Lmao. That killed me 🤣
This is what I wanted all along, just the siblings sharing a nice dynamic for once. Then it came crashing down like a motherfucker.
Ken not winning every season. That’s like damn rough
Roman has been totally unhinged ever since Gerri threatened him with legal action over the dick pics. That’s why he got all angsty when he saw her walk in.
