Review by Jimmy_V15

It wasn't hard to figure out the ending if you buy into the King Lear parallels. But it is hard to find any sympathy for the Roy heirs. I won't give away the ending but there are only two choices. They either wrestle away control of Waystar from the Board and GoJo...and live lives of unimaginable wealth, or they fail in their quest at which point they sell their shares in the company and have nothing more to do with it...in which case they live lives of unimaginable wealth. Probably each with their own private island. The way the story set up this season, other than emotional turmoil, there is no negative financial outcome possible. They stay rich no matter what. My rating is based on some clever writing and great acting performances. But the story itself ended the only way it could-with the Roy's all being wealthy.

There was one major flaw in the plot that needs to be addressed. Again, without giving away the ending, The vote to finalize or scuttle the sale of Waystar to GoJo is tied with one voter left to cast their vote. That person held all the cards, and given the ruthlessness that played itself out over 4 seasons, it stands to reason that the person with the last and final vote would have called a "time out" and started making phone calls or having sidebar conversations. To Lukas: "I will vote to approve the sale, but only if you agree to..." And to Kendall: "I will vote to block the sale but only if you agree to..." Had this happened, the ending would have been very, very different for certain of the characters. I am not at all sure why the writers neglected to consider that the person with the tie-breaking vote would not have used their leverage right to the very end. The final scenes show this character quite despondent and not at all fulfilled, and this could have ended quite differently if that person had stayed true to form.
