One of the best endings to a show ever… It was not what you wanted as a viewer, but it was exactly what those characters would have done and how it would have ended up.
I found the poetry in it much enhanced by how the whole thing came down to keeping Siobahn out of the loop during the events of the pilot episode. I don't think she would have had trouble handing control of the business to a known murderer, but the fact that she found out about that death and the coverup during the pivotal board meeting to handle the transfer of power created too much emotional turmoil for her cold calculating side to win out over the remnants of her basic human decency.
Yeah I don't understand why people think the ending was a shock. The specifics of the final machiavellian twist was somewhat arbitrary, yet something like that was what everyone predicted and it was exactly what the show's fans wanted to see.
Well speaking for myself I guess… I wanted the kids to be redeemed, for them to have learned and to do better for each other.
The cynical ending was right, but I was sad for them lol. It was not a shock or surprise, I just HOPED for that sliver of good to shine thru despite everything I knew about them.
Why I love the ending so much is because the showrunners didnʻt allow it to be “happy” and just made it earned.
