Rachel and whatever the douchey husband's name is.

In addition, to being douchey, that guy was not cute at all. Yes, he was in good shape, but his face was hideous, as was his sense of style. I can't imagine what, besides money, drew Rachel to him.

This is precisely why they’re both perfectly cast. They’re the best the other can do. They’d be otherwise unremarkable people were it not for their incredible wealth. I think this is what she realizes about herself before rejoining him at the airport.

I don't know. I think I would be realizing I only have to bang this dude for X number of years before I can cash in on the pre-nup.

I am with another poster - kind of underwhelmed at the end of it all. I particularly couldn't stand Olivia and Paula (which I get that was the point). But they were so over the top obnoxious and bizarre that I just didn't want to see or hear another second of them.

The Jennifer Coolidge storyline was totally predictable, but somewhat entertaining. I liked the Connie Britton/Steve Zahn storyline.

Quinn following his bliss and his parents just not getting that was the best part about it.

Um, do you have a job or hobbies? Might want to refocus on them.

I do what I want. None of your business what I have. Stop focusing on what I have and focus on your own stupid little life.

I dont think the storyline was so much about the end / resolution, but more about the journey. They all started out with so much well intentioned potential to be great people. And then as the shows unfolded they continually grew worse and terrible-er and in shocking ways. I really grew to detest them all by the end of the show.

The paradox of that awfulness with the beauty of the location and setting was interesting to me. And the music was perfect to build tension.

They killed the best character of all. Did I miss something?

I need to know how you feel about Ted Lasso before I can comment.

I haven't seen Ted Lasso.

Blasphemy!’

Have any other TV shows brought out so much vitriol on DCUM lately? (Ted Lasso thread got a little heated, but this one’s nuts.) It’s just a show!

Different poster but I haven’t seen it either. Is this on Apple TV? If so, I’d give it a chance except I don’t have that.

It is Apple TV which is unfortunate because it’s really the only good thing on there. It’s a gem. 💗

I wish I was a Rachel. I’m jealous of all the Rachel’s in my life.

Love that the teenage girls’ attitudes and demeanor are modeled off of Anna and Dasha from Red Scare. The director had the actresses even listen to the podcast to get into their roles.

This show is incredible. The actor playing Armand needs an Emmy.

This is a good point. I think it leads up to why she went back to Shane.

She tried calling her mom too, but mom said she'd call her back.
