"How do we wrap up this uncut gems plot without killing rishi , how about we make his wife get the Howard ending instead"

Rest of cast storyline: marriage, new country, retirement

Rishi storyline:

Damn, the more y'all say it, the more I do feel the vibes that this was definitely written as a series finale lol

Really does beg the question of where things go from here since a lot of storylines were closed quite effectively if it were to stop right here

The vibes are kinda like if Succession got one more season now

Yasmin hanani

Harper going home and seeing her mom is the big closure point I feel. It’s been a hanging thread of the series. Thought she’d be forced to after S2 finale but now she’s finally doing it. Also think there’s one last hurrah in store for Harper and Eric after that last convo

I think they’ve been pretty good tho at writing like it could be their last each season, the stories and characters just progressed so much now that we are actually near the natural end

Lotta great explanation from the creators in the new Variety interview. They basically did write it with the intention of completing a story, and have the new challenge of figuring out S4. They're already writing the first two episodes currently.

Even HBO questioned them deciding to blow up Pierpoint and they go into stuff on Rishi here as well

Konrad Kay: The truth is, a lot of it was trying to tell the best possible story in the eight hours that we knew we were going to be able to have. So to be frank, we were not thinking about Season 4, Season 5 of the show. We were thinking, what is the most complete story? And, a bit like Season 2 with Harper getting fired, it felt narratively satisfying.

--

we thought, God, are we doing the right thing? We had this back and forth with our producers, with HBO. They were like, “This is the precinct of the show.” As Konrad said, we get excited by the fact that we can just blow everything up in general. We write ourselves into corners. We write ourselves out of them. We love the idea that the show can be totally different season to season. This was us putting a gun to our heads and saying, “If we were to come back, what would we do?” When we explained it like that. HBO was like, “OK, go for it.”

This feel like a series finale

Curious where would they go on from here

they saying there was confirmation that Bill died ???

Industry won’t go as hard if it made in 2007

Respect legacy television

GAG DUDMIN FANS AGAIN

She mentioned to Eric at the end of the ep that she'll see him later at his memorial

They coulda handled time in this ep better but its clear some amount had passed and Bill died. They smoothly made a skip near the end or something

I didn’t catch the time jump at all i need to rewatch

Honestly tho i'm kinda confused myself cus it seemed like Eric either didn't know himself, forgot about it or wasn't invited

If there wasn't a skip that means Bill died fairly soon after that last appearence. I'm mentioning a skip cus of Harper's Forbes thing and Yas making progress on wedding and getting news coverage too. Rob also had time to leave and start his own thing

god bless the writers behind this show

really felt like i was watching peak tv every sunday for the last 2 months

Nah f*** this episode, over the shows treatment of rishi storyline
:beynah:

Guy was carrying the show for 2 seasons smh how does that ending even make sense, feel like I seen more criminal realism on penguin ffs lmaoo

Definitely felt like a series finale. Especially with Rob's happy ending (pause).

Rob had time to leave and go Turkey and get a brand new hair line.

So is Henry dying? He shared a needle with junkies I thought thats what was implied.

W

OH S***

10/10 season

when yas asks rob if he won the lotto and he says "of course not" as foreshadowing for their relationship

when yas gets rid of alondra for knowing her history/weakness the same way eric did with kenny

rishi's wife having a blonde haircut and being named diana after yas dressed up as princess diana earlier in the season and ending up dead

so good
