I don't know why but the Barry ending gave me The Shield ending vibes for some reason even if it wasn't really the same.

I think the rehab was more because he’s a marine. And also they wanted a movie that would do well with audiences and fits the official narrative. I mean Gene did everything he could to incriminate himself. Plus it was made pretty clear everyone in Hollywood hated him.
Like at every decision point Gene did dumb selfish shit.

Also it was such a nice touch that Fuches made this whole speech to Hank about being a man with no heart, and then he saw John and all of that wen't away as he shielded him during the shootout then covered his eyes / talked him through the bodies. Like in the end, he threw it all away (his life in Chechnya, his life in the desert, his army) because he loved Barry.

In a weird way, I am glad Sally stayed true to being a selfish unlikable asshole the entire series. All the way to the bitter end when her son says he loves her and she brushes him off to gloat about her play. Cunt.

Gonna have to sit with it for a while to say for sure but it’s my favorite thing I’ve seen since TD S1.

Succession is one of the best of all time, imo. Up there with the Sopranos, the Wire and Breaking Bad

I’m gunna take some time to process it, but I can safely put it behind Sopranos and Mad Men and in front of True Detective S1.

I just count true detective each season as a miniseries unto itself so I don’t rank it there.

Clarification that I didn’t bring TD up for ranking purposes because I don’t consider it a series in the same light as other shows, much to James’ point. But I did bring it up because of how engaging it was for me. S1 had me glued every single episode. Somehow Succession mostly did that as well over four seasons. Succession was always interesting and exciting to me, basically every single episode.

Not gonna rank anything, but both Barry and Succession will absolutely be among the shows on my rewatch list for the rest of my life. Feeling downright spoiled to have two incredible shows put up series finales I'm happy with back to back.
Other shows on my indefinite rewatch list are Sopranos, Mad Men, True Detective (I), Fargo (I & II), Band of Brothers/The Pacific.

Succession and Barry were both great. I truly thought they were going to give it to Kendall until they actually agreed to, and then I knew it would be Tom. Them fighting in the boardroom was the encapsulation of the nature of their ambitions. None of them wanted it as bad as Kendall, but none of them wanted the other to get it. None of them deserved it, but all thought they were entitled to it. Kendall yelling he's the "eldest boy" was the perfect gutteral id line for him. I feel like I could never fully feel sorry for Ken because of what he did, but I could never fully enjoy his comeuppance because he's so sympathetic and broken. The scene in the kitchen where they are acting like literal children is a reminder that these are fucking stunted people, manipulated by a monster into competition, when they all desperately want love, but can never be vulnerable or it blows up in their face.
Fun fact, apparently there was a baseball player from the 30's or something whose last name was Wambsganss and he is the only player in history to complete an unassisted triple play in a world series...

I'm gonna start Succession as soon as I finish these last 12 or so episodes of Better Call Saul.

I personally loved the ending of Barry. It played out like some cruel cosmic joke that you'd see in a Russian novel.

I have not watched the Barry finale so I skimmed through most of the last couple pages but the Succession ending was great. I loved how bleak the whole thing felt despite the fact that almost everyone involved is worth billions of dollars
I also watched the finale of Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. That show was so good from start to finish. I felt like they could have done another season because near the very end it felt a little rushed but still fantastic. One of the most underrated shows of the last 10 years

I watched the first couple of episodes a longgg time ago and then got distracted and never wen't back to it. I need to, though. Same thing happened with Barry.

the Barry finale felt kind of incomplete to me but I also don’t know what they could have done differently. it being unsatisfying somehow feels like the right choice, idk
I will say what was unsatisfying as fuck and took me all the way out was the stupid app downscaling the video and making it look like dogshit several times. why do I even pay for gigabit internet if this shit still happens, smd

Why Gene tho? How the fuck do you take all the crimes Barry committed and pin them on Gene? It makes zero fucking sense.

oh yeah, totally unsatisfying because the audience is so sympathetic to him, but I think it makes sense when you consider that his inability to overcome his own ego and the ineptitude of the investigators have been running themes since the start of the series. he can't win!

I'm not disagreeing with you, but once he shot his son and left him for dead I pretty much wrote him off as capable of good will in my book.

I started watching Pete & Pete again on a whim and boy howdy what a fantastic show. So many fun cameo roles. So wacky, so funny and sweet.
Fits into my love for the Lodge 49/Twin Peaks universe.
