The Rishi stuff is a completely different TV show. One of the writers is straight just writing Uncut Gems. Yaz was definitely abused growing up. What she did to Rib was trifling. I definitely don’t see him coming back in any capacity
It’s weird because I think it sums up his arc, but tonally it’s a whiplash compared to the other subplots going on since we’ve never seen that level of violence on the show before.

I didn’t like his episode for that same reason. Just doesn’t fit imo :hubie: . I’m good with everything else. There really doesn’t need to be a season 4

oh yeah the uncle was 100% saying that. It was an arranged marriage. Her hand for the backing and the money, for his nephew. He does multiple times. Same guy as Otto, just more paternalistic.

yeah the tone of the Rishi thing doesn't bother me, they wrote that in, but fair criticism, sure. They went for the kill with that. and in some ways it was that kind of show.

The writing was on the wall for Yasmine and her ‘relationship’ with her father. Who gets a hard on hugging their daughter?

I was almost afraid the old dude got one also, apparently everyone that hugs her gets bricked up :russ:

Next season is going to be interesting to see who comes back and what location they will use. Robs in LA, Yas is still in the country side of England, Harper is in NY, who knows what Eric is doing.

Like someone else said theis could have been a perfectly good series finale

Also, can someone explain what yas meant by “get rid of her”?

Is it literally taking care of her, like offering her some hush money or they literally “getting rid of her”?

The latter sounds crazy but she knows a lot

That last shot of Harper with the cigarette, I walked that exact bridge! It's right by the Mondrian on the Thames Sea Containers, I could see it in the background. Stayed there in 2017.

thanks for everyone in here, made the Sunday night that much better.....put a few people on to this, but the best convos were in here. At least 5 women I know watch this, because of me. but it's always better in here.

that LittleLabs pitch is the most cynical shyt I have ever heard but hes 100% right.

It worked as a standalone for me, but I can easily see how a whole episode dedicated to his chaotic ways can push some people away from the show.

Thought it was a cool tempo change though. Liked how unhinged it all was as well as placing the spotlight on a recurring character who we didn’t really know much about outside of Pierpoint.

Yeah, just finished watching. Hell of a season and hell of a finale :whew:. The show isn't afraid to keep moving and put characters in different places. Listening to the Watch, I believe they said the creators are taking inspiration from Michael Clayton for S4 (haven't watched the movie), but I imagine it will look different and have faith they have something good cooked up :ehh:

The Pierpoint era seems to be over and Eric is leaving with 20 million :leon:, but not before giving a hell of a speech and shedding a few tears :wow:

I'm glad we got another moment with him and Harper, as that dynamic was great on the show. They do share a love of the game, even if they didn't always agree how to play it.

Harper isn't about eating donuts and planning company hangouts. I'm glad she is carving her own path by shorting companies (some of the finance stuff isn't always clear to me). Can see her storyline leaning into Clayton next year and maybe a return of Jay Duplass since he's out of jail now.

The Rob/Yasmin storyline was bittersweet. A brief possibility of normalcy and a kind of happiness, before the harsh reality of upbringing, class, security, and comfort came crashing down on them. "Hurt people, hurt people" and like others have mentioned Yas was hurt in a way she can't even bare to admit to herself :mjcry:

Rob definitely seemed to be in a place he understood.

Rishi :damn:. I'm glad gambling has never really appealed to me like that. Almost didn't recognize his wife with her new hair color. That shyt went down on his birthday too :picard:. His wife, even when they were separated did seem to genuinely care for him. Now every year getting older is a reminder of just how much his sickness has cost him.

Nah.

She didn’t have to play with Rob’s emotions.

They always wanted each other and her ass couldn’t leave the urge alone- fine.

But all that “I love you, do you love me” blah blah

That was unnecessary. Rob actually wanted her, but she knew she needed to marry rich.


Aside from that, I’m glad she stated her terms and gets to marry the rich guy.

And Henry’s uncle seems like he will be a healthy paternal figure for her.

She was always going to be ok in the end as long as she was honest with herself and what she wanted- to be the wealthy wife.
But the frog saw the scorpion's stinger and still let it ride him. :hubie:

He knows what time Yaz is on. He took his "L' like a champ. Yaz probably made sure Rob got his seed monies too.

Definitely think it was just the former.

You already know the old dude probably was in the process of getting hard when she backed away.

But Yas is nothing more than an opportunistic bītch and is nothing without a man in her life. Write her ass off this show and call it a day. 99.999% chance she was bussing it open for her dad and his crew well into her late teens.

Meanwhile, somehow Harper manages to stay afloat but her grind is still far more arduous than the mediocre CAC failing upward. You kinda sorta maybe get a sense that she’s putting in work.

As for Eric, a $20 million dollar golden parachute ain’t bad but he was already shell shocked seeing Pierpoint being “co-branded” by their Saudi saviors. End of legacy brand but at least it somewhat survives.

Rishi’s fall off is pure insanity if it meant he had his mans pull the blicky on his wife and deaded her like that. Was there truly no other way to get out of the deep hole he dug himself?

Since it looks like this shĩt shifts to New York let’s hope it’s a strong reset.

Doofy ass Rob always lands on his feet and that big bag of VC money is his ticket away from all of those bozos in London. I wish his dumb ass well.

Welp. At least he got to clap those bony cheeks one last time but he’s so dense that he thought it meant something as a means to something else.

That little fake princess would choke and die if she had to live like a normal person and we saw her struggling like a fish out of water all season.

But at least the bītch knows her way to the bag, even if it means pissing on a dude in the shower or letter her dad’s friends have a taste.
