I was hoping that Gerri blackmail Roman about the dick pics.

Might happen yet Eggy, which I hope it does, unless of course Kendall smooths it over.

I'm still hoping they all die in a horrible way last minute of this series....all be it, Roman does bring a smile to my face, so maybe he only loses some limbs...

The ultimate satire.

That scene with Shiv and Tom. Pure drama. Actually really poignant and superbly portrayed…….plonked right in the middle of all that grotesque satire.

The writers are on fire. It’s good that this is the last season. It can’t get any better.

Most shows fizzle out in their last season, rewrite the rules of the world they’ve built and generally, get bigger but not necessarily better.

Sad it’s the last season but it’s going out at the very top, a skill not many shows can say.

My god how insanely amazing was that last episode, it’s ridiculous how good this show is.

Just a thought I had, how about the twist being that the twisted Logan actually kept them in check with his games but with him gone they become the worst versions of themselves they could ever be

It just shows that whilst he was an utterly detestable human being, Logan was right all along, that none of his kids were ready to run things, which individually they are proving at present, one way or another.

I still expect one last play from Logan up until the finale. For example, I’m still thinking there’s another will some place where he just gives his money to charity or make it clear Kendall is a killer.

I refuse to believe he hasn’t got one more say in this!

Hopefully Jesse Armstrong will stick the landing. From memory his Peep Show finale just put the duo right back where they started slightly worse off so that's my bet...

I can't see anyway any of them come out on top, they are all hideous...is there one character you can even root for? Geri I suppose...Frank is partially human as well.

Pretty much Nailed on that Greg is going to trample all over Tom soon...

Maybe Smuts, I have no idea today and I like it that way.

If I had to hedge a bet it will be Roman that comes out on top, nothing to back that up, apart from maybe he is more his dads devil sperm than the other two, even with Kendall making that move in the last episode. Gerri as his No.2 as they make up...or they do the deed...

What an episode.

Can't believe there's only 2 episodes left.

“It’s not that lemony!”

They’re all having way too much fun with this now. Image

I think I’ve changed my mind. I want a season 5. :oops:

Im coming close to saying that this is the best TV show of all time. I’ve seen all the main contenders, and not one of them are consistently excellent throughout, there’s always a dip or a lull at some point.

The finale is going to be 2 hours too.

Could barely make head nor tail of what was going on with that election episode, but my god it was tense. :shocker:

Logan was right, they're useless, the lot of them.

Last episode was on steroids!

Not sure Eggy, think Roman is going to end up on top.
