She was uppity. It’s vexing when women are uppity.

The criticisms seem fair, but every archetype in the show was a failure. Ranking them seems to be missing the point. Even Logan failed to take responsibility for the results of his leadership.

One can say that she was a killer, but she was too much in her head also

this post was baffling to read, because on multiple occasions my friends and I have talked about how superior Shiv was compared to her brothers. I searched the internet and could barely find any meaningful criticism or "howls of derision" against her.

then it dawned on me. it's simple: you must have awful friends!

get better friends.

I really liked most of the characters - as much as I could anyway since the show made sure there was something revolting about each of them. I genuinely felt bad for Kendall in the last boardroom scene, despite myself knowing he’d be terrible.

I remember thinking, Shiv’s destruction is complete, as she was subservient to Tom, of all people, in the last limo scene. Their marriage is one of the few areas I’d like to hear more - how did she ensure Tom’s return to emasculation and did he manage to resist.
