Stunned, and processing the finale still.

Connor Roy was interested in politics from a young age and HE IS THE ELDEST SON OF HIS FATHER. HE IS.

Nice to see Roman comforting Kendall after all the vitriol between them. They may not get the company but if these siblings can heal their relationship that would be a better ending.

Chills when Shiv says "You can't trust him." She and Kendall went through this exact situation and they know.

[mykhailomiroshnikov]

Tom's arc this season was just amazing.

[yazr]

Such a good episode. All the characters got their moments - actors too.

I've watched that episode thrice already and I'm still astonished by how everything unfolds and how brilliant everyone's performances were. Seeing Roman beg and vulnerable not just with his dad but with Gerri was shocking. Kieran played it brilliantly. Jeremy Strong's gut-wrenching breakdown will probably win him a second Emmy and deservedly so. He's the beating heart of the show and it brought me to tears. And Sarah Snook's Shiv was absolutely emotional to watch and to see her back-stabbing husband standing behind her in triumph as she tries desperately to hold back the tears but with eyes of rage and maybe vengeance in the next season was just nothing short of powerful. That final shot of her was just a masterclass in acting and I hope she wins all the awards.

There's heartless fathers then there's Logan Roy. The guy graduated from the Tywin Lannister School of Fathering top of his class.

You can see that when kendall finally got the comfort and love from his siblings he automatically came to his own. Bittersweet with toms move but he has had the short end for some time. Greg u can tell was being set up this season to be the one finally being selfish and having his own interests at play. Wondering where marsha comes to the next season with the divorce 🤔

[jaimeem]

So sad to see Greg losing his soul
And too glad to see Roman stand up against his dad
What a show. 🙌🏼

[gor]

This show is something special. So well-orchestrated, characters come across not as catalysts for standard narrative arcs, but as real persons with all their complexities, sins, and virtues. Truly a triumph of acting and writing.

[crashingspectacular]

This show never stops building up and delivering, it's crazy

[pedro]

The 3 of them joining forces was one of the best things in the episode for me, I hope that continues on season 4. I wanna see them become “killers”, because they have the potential to take Logan down if they stick together.

[gabriellebadowski]

The slow burn of season 3 led up to an incendiary moment in the final minutes of this episode. Still in shock. What an incredible way to end the season.

[taylorfranklin]

What I love about the final shot is Tom knows that she knows. Just like they both always know the truths about their relationships, without saying anything.

[BethXibiu]

Mouth-dropping finale. I felt everything Shiv was feeling with Tom. This show is incredible, great writing, great cinematography and the acting is superb!

[bluecuracao]

The final scene and Shiobhan must win an Emmy, that is a masterpiece!

[shazilakhtar]

Sarah snook deserves an emmy for just that last scene. Masterpiece.

[bltr]

If Jesse Armstrong was to write each episode, there would no longer be any point for other tv shows to even exist. He just makes it impossible for anyone to compete with his level of screenwriting. What a season and what an episode... even though Logan is a monster, these kids have been treating him like an old lunatic and they seem to forget that if it wasn't for him, they'd be absolute nobodies and would need to get an actual job. Tom and Roman had minblowing character arcs this season.

[GordonMaclachlan]

This was one of the best episodes in the history of TV
