Best show currently on tv for my money. Watching the season final tonight. The way episode 9 went down has me beyond hyped it.

Holy crap was this series great. And I loved the ending too.
I'm not sure one character in this show, other than Ewen, had any decent qualities, but they were all fun and likeable in a dark way.

Some questions about the ending:

Spoiler

Am I right about the reason why Shiv changed her mind in the end?
When Kendall sat behind the desk, he put his feet up on the desk and then something incredibly douchey like "Does he need a grilled cheese BJ?".
She made a face like "holy crap" and that's what did it for her. She realized Kendall was an idiot, unlikeable and really didn't have any capabilities of running the ship like her dad had.
And maybe the company was in better hands with the GoPro people. And it helps that her hubbie, Tom, would be the American CEO so she would still retain some kind of influence.

I liked Roman's ending as well. He finally comes to the conclusion that they're all empty pieces of crap who suckled at their fathers teet all these years. They never actually built anything. They are nothing but nepotistic idiots who were born rich.

And I wonder if, in the end, this was Logan's plan all along. He had no interest in leaving the company to any of them. None were worthy and he'd rather give it to someone who also built something on their own, than hand it to any of his entitled children.

Connor seemed to be the only one who got it. He had no problems taking full advantage of being born to a super rich and powerful dad.

At the end Logan was proven right: "I love you, but you aren't serious people".

I really wish they had kept this scene in the Finale:

I had been waiting the entire episode for some closure between Greg and Ewen.
