They had to move away from that, only so much self-sabotaging and scrappy startup stories they can write before people start groaning.

I don't think the self-sabotaging storylines will be going anywhere as that's pretty well Dinesh's character in a nutshell.

It was really nice to see Richard learn from his ####ups and actually make a shrewd move. And the show didn't falter at all from a lack of TJ Miller, looking forward to seeing where they go from here

I am not even sure if the success/fail cycle of the company matters that much to the humour or writing. It can still be funny if it follows that formula, it's one of those shows where I don't think a story arch over multiple seasons is really important. Every season is kind of a reboot in a way.

Show was 10x better without Miller in my opinion.

Miller carried the show for the first two seasons but they leaned on him too much in season 3 and as with anything you can have too much of a good thing.

Weird ending to the show, not sure how I feel about it overall.

It wrapped it up pretty nicely, and it makes the previous episodes make a bit more sense in the context of knowing how this was going to play out. I do kind of wish though they had been able to make the season a tad funnier though. There were just a few times that were really laugh-out-loud worthy.

Love this show.... but that series 'wrap up' was no good.

I was disappointed as well. I thought this season was good. Better than the last couple but the finale felt flat.

Jared is top 5 characters in comedy for me.

Bah, no one ever likes the finale.

As far as the season goes, Jared meeting his parents was as savage a scene I've ever seen. Maybe not laugh out loud funny, but one of the most memorable scenes of the series for me.

This season was pretty uneven and wore a bit thin, but I thought the finale was great.

Hard to have a finale that isn’t just “ we all end up rich as F”

I think it fit the theme of the entire series fairly well

Really wish Backmanity had a cameo to end it
