What a fukking finale. I thought the first two seasons were really great but kind of viewed it as a personal favorite moreso than something I could recommend to other people (niche setting, too confusing for casual viewers, etc). But after this season? Yea, I'm confident in saying this is top tier television and arguably the best active show right now.
The Rob/Yas saga in this episode was really the heart of it, and perhaps the sum of the season. What told the tale for me? That shot of her glancing between Rob scratching off a lottery ticket and a miserable mother in an old car with unruly children. For a moment in the previous couple episodes it seemed like she was willing to give Rob a shot, perhaps give love a shot too. He helped her finally escape the stress of the job, paparazzi, lifestyle, etc and at the end of the day she touched normalcy for the first time and said nah that's not me. She was always gonna end up with Henry, it was her only way out of this mess. She'll be unhappy with Henry, she will be cheated on regularly...but she will have a big gold plated cage to reside in. Better than a shabby car with your kids yelling too loud....
Not gonna lie, I thought Eric would survive the chopping block. I figured just as they'd shytcan the gay guy, they'd shytcan the ESG chick thus elevating Eric by default. I don't think the money is gonna satisfy him. Sounded like he was scouting out roles again. The show can go a lot of different ways in S4 but man...I hope this wasn't the end for him.
The ironic thing about Pierpoint's fate is that Rob would be the perfect guy for wealth management but he's moved on.
Rishi....
Harper getting the nod was another thing we kind of predicted. Curious where that goes. Speaking of which, I'm not sure what S4 will look like now that so many characters are separated. Yas and Henry (if Jon Snow comes back lol). Rob, possibly in California unless he gets dragged back into the fold (wealth management). Harper separating from Petra/Sweet Pea/etc. I wonder what, if anything, will bring them together again.
She took one look and said I'm done cosplaying as a poor person now, take me to Henry's house

This is my favorite season of TV ever. It's probably my age, where I am in life, where this show caught me in life. But, yeah. It's all time for me. and this finale was perfect. You could just drop it here, and I would be happy. For many reasons, they can probably do a fourth.
Shout out to Uncut Gems too. and the lottery ticket. Caught that too. @Piff Perkins Very Sopranos when Chris saw that poor family and went and gave up Adriana. Yasmin can't escape her class. she doesn't want to. I would murder a Res at the Polo bar. we can go Yas!
the finale summed up the best of the show in all the shots, all the convos, all the plots wrapping up. All the imagery. The romance, the sex, the drugs. Eric's insane speech. ESG bullshyt.
damn Yas already kinda shot him the million. I would be good with that deal. Think that has happened to me once or twice, minus the million and the aristocrat.

Yep. Her dad molested her. That’s exactly why she’s the way she is. It was safe to assume but never confirmed.
That’s usually the case with hypersexual women, but ppl don’t want to delve deeper to figure out why they are the way they are

He might as well take that same gun and just commit that. What’s the point anymore?
Besides the show showcasing the consequences of Rishi’s lifestyle to the audience, I don’t really understand Vinay’s play in offing his wife like that.
and yeah this the best season of telveision I have ever seen. Nothing else can come close. Key moments:
The lottery ticket and the snacks and that look Yasmin gives her, that lays it all out. They both truly see each other on that trip. And they love each other.
That incredibly well shot sex/romance scene. That's as good as I have ever seen a scene like that. and in a finance/thriller show. That shyt made me want to turn off the tv, cut too close.
Harper twisting the blade in Rishi
Eric all alone in Pier Point conference room, and he gets a thumbs up from the CEO. And just sits there with it.
Rishi ranting about Dante's Inferno with trash piled all over Pier Point
-All of Mostyn's scenes and every fukking literary quote
"people that seem comforted by the constant slide toward medicority that is a hallmark of modern love"
Henry in the Oliver Peoples glasses and Brikenstocks lol

You know what…
I’ve never seen a show wrap up 3 seasons in such a complete, gratifying way.
If this were the end, this would literally be a perfect series.
I don’t know what they’re going to do next season.
They might start with a new cast
Anyway, as much as I love this show, I can love and appreciate it for what it is and be satisfied with this being the end.
Kinda lit a fire under my ass, too. Gotta go and get what you want, and get it early enough to still enjoy it before the ride is over.
