I think when it came to Matsson, he knew Shiv as CEO would be too much friction. he needed somebody easy and agreeable which Shiv has NEVER been. If she was easy, I could've seen a world where he would pick her to be CEO

its a joke about him looking exactly like the weeknd

I know you listened to the podcast too like a real one

“She has a lot of ideas,
I ALREADY HAVE ALOT OF IDEAS”

Like he said, he wanted a puppet, someone that could handle the heat, wouldn't complain, and would follow orders

Shiv has always had too much of an ego and own self interest to not clash with people unless she was ultimately running the entire show

Jeremy Strong actually drank the Meal Fit For a King multiple times over different takes

bingo

yup and for what Matsson wanted, I can understand why he chose who he chose!

like if we being real, could you imagine the back and forth Shiv and him would have constantly? it would be chaos

very respectful of matsson to tell tom he wanted to f*** shiv and that's why she couldn't be ceo. very respectful.

Best ending possible for the best show

Taking the pain as a respectful pain sponge, although I believe that, as his phone call with Shiv early in the episode reveals, that he doesn't quite love her as much as he used to.

Damn near made me tear up

His marriage is basically a purely transactional relationship I don’t really count that as a win she’s bout to desecrate Logan’s house

need the epilogue that shows Tom getting fired within the first year

from you’re not a killer to - “you’ve killed someone”

I still can’t tell if shiv f***ing over Ken was all planned prior or just heat of the moment

oh 💀

Like 75% the latter 25% her realizing she can control Tom

I was lost

if letting matsson f*** shiv gets him ahead tom will do it

guy is a cockroach

Been listening to the pod and he legit said 'I wouldn't know how not to drink it' which is the most Jeremy Strong thing of all time lmao

he's a true auteur

The last scene they shot for the whole show was the one in the kitchen

Can never win
