Great wrap-up. “ To make a Tomlet you need to break a few Gregs” perfectly describes today’s big business corporate program. Let us know if you figure out who wrote that gem. Great writing in this series throughout!
Loved your conversation today. Lots to unpack in that finale, that’s for sure. Link to a pretty good candid conversation with Jeremy Strong, for a glimpse of him. Parts of Kendall in his persona ! https://youtu.be/AYCAT5jpXKU
Strong finale. Though I wish they’d left Kendall, instead of taking the elevator down and ending up at the water, just pressing the up button on the elevator. Leaving us guessing whether he was going to the roof and whether he was considering jumping. Dude had lost everything important to him.
Enjoyed the analysis, funny and well executed. The sale was the logical outcome, even if the kids didn't get it. I read a book years ago by Tom Dean called Every Family's Business, and saw him speak. He comes from a lineage of family businesses, so he lives what he speaks of. I forget if it was his grandfather or great grandfather who laid down the original outline, but the point of it all, is that the business is secondary to the family. Business is a vehicle for building stability and wealth, that's it. The leader of the business/family has an obligation to the family to secure that wealth for future generations. The passion for a business resides in the founder/developer, rarely does that extend to the next gen. It not only secures the wealth, it allows the next gen to make their own way, extremely important for personal growth. This is the most logical, and correct, ending. Now the kids can create a life, or waste a life, unencumbered by the legacy.
I’m very glad that someone finally acknowledged Hugo’s vexing head/neck proportions.

One of my favourite lines was Kendal shouting “I’m the eldest boy!”

I think they were in Bimini, Bahamas. I recall them saying Bimi at some point.
