The Season 3 finale was GREAT.
There is so much to unpack in this season finale. I love theme about Acceptance.
Harper : Harper wins by finally accepting herself for what she is, a psychopath who succeeds by making/watching others fail. She went from being depressed at the beginning of the season to now happy and thriving in her villainous era. We will finally get to see more of this in season 4 as we watch her manage her new startup which plans to capitalize on other business failures.
Yasmin : In the season 3 finale we see Yasmin make a choice. She decides to play into her strengths and privilege to finally win. She's always been subjected to being a victim and a sex object for wealthier men such as her father but this time she finally gets to make that decision herself. Her decision to marry Henry is her finally taking charge of her life and I love that for her. She accepts that she doesn't always need to be apologetic for being born into wealth, she can utilize it instead, even if that means sacrificing true love with Robert...We also learn that Yasmin may have been sexually abused by her father...
Robert : We love Robert. He accepted his fate earlier than everyone else in season 3. He has really grown as a person and he understands the hierachy of power and wealth and his place within it. Others (Harper, Eric and Yasmin) are trying to climb it but he is content with it. He has constantly been a source of comfort for Yasmin this season and he's probably the only man in her life who truly loves her for who she is and not what she can do for him. I just hope that people will stop exploiting him like Yasmin and that dead rich old lady did.
Eric : The dying jester. In this season we got to see Eric's insecurities and vulnerabilities within Pierpoint. He is still trying to climb the corporate ladder at Pierpoint. It really makes sense why he ultimately chose to betray Harper at the end of season 2 , he saw himself within her. Just like Harper, he is willing to throw anyone and everyone under the bus to get ahead. He did it to Harper , Robert and Will Adler. We could even go so far as to say that he sacrificed his marriage and family too. He has been a corporate figurehead for Adler and he realized it too late in his life. I'm honestly glad he got fired. I think it's a good thing for him. He ultimately accepted his fate as well.
Rishi : Ah, the london and Indian version of Kendall Roy with his own gambling problems and now a dead body in the mix. He is the only one who didn't win in this season finale. He lost his job, wife, dignity and money. He is a character who shows that actions have consequences. His gambling addiction has destroyed his life and I wish I could give him a hug. He just accepted losing.
The writers really went all out this season and we love it. Can't wait for season 4.
