Incredible that a show with such a dry core theme ended up as one of my fave of all time. That a show that had the worst of capitalism at it's core (perhaps the most pure example of capitalism), something that goes against all my core beliefs, had me hooked and rooting for the "bad" guys was a testament to the writing and acting on display. Every episode the script was tight AF, snappy smart dialogue, brilliantly weaving multiple threads and characters. Even though Prince was brought in for the last few seasons, the core dynamic/relationship between Axelrod and Rhoades (x2) was the rock the show was built on. The final exchanges between them were awesome, the nod to the resumption of hostilities, although with new found respect, had me wanting the show to go on but they finished with aplomb. Shows that outstay their welcome always end up jumping the shark and I'm glad that it finished on a high instead.

Absolutely loved the finale. It was super obvious that they were going to take Prince down but that didn't make it any less satisfying. Not ashamed to say I was a bit emotional by the end, loved how that wrapped everything up. Wags and Scooter was an unexpectedly lovely moment. The moment with Taylor and Rian the previous episode hit home too, one of the more understated relationships in the show.
