Where do i start with the finale of one of the most well written and well acted shows i've ever seen? The first half of this long episode was a little slow but the pieces were coming together, secrets unfolded, tension rising. It built up to a promising ending and then took a shocking twist before the close. Who knew Kendall's guilt would eventually catch up with him after all this time, it was the shade that stayed his feet as he grasped the crown. Dropping the news about him killing someone back in season one just before he takes the throne was like a gunshot to him, it ruined him. Since the death of Logan, Ken has always been about sitting in his chair and being better than his father but like his father said "You have to be a killer, and you're not", in a metaphorical sense it makes Kendall no where near as strong as logan was.
Side Note: The kitchen scene at their mothers was one of the most cringy pieces of television to come out of such a well equiped show as such as this. I actually had my head in my hands at one point looking through my fingers. Cringy as it may be though, it brought together Shiv, Ken and Roman as a trio again which lit the fire for the second half.
It makes you feel sorry for the rich though, to have all that money and fame and still lose. Tom had been walked on by the Roy family for years to only then land on top in the end. The Roy kids never had what Logan had, they were born rich and it's all they depended on. Logan had the strategy for power, he built everything up.
I'm a little concerned at Shiv's pullout, but she obviously did it so Tom could win, seeing them possibly getting back together? She didn't want Kendall in charge but i don't think it was because he killed someone. I think it was power in her own sense, alienated by her family so she sides with the enemy.
And now it's all over, was a great show but i feel the ending could have been made better.
