[@John_Locke_108]

If I'm doing my math right, Logan died 7 days ago. Maybe 8. This season is like a freight train moving at top speed without a conductor.

[@tgrlwtfr]

Sarah Snook is incredible at playing this emotion that everybody has felt irl, but is rarely seen in movies -- 'I did a dumb thing and I should be ashamed, but I'm too proud so I'm doubling down'. Absolutely phenomenal stuff.

[@memento81]

I always wondered if she had a highly narsissistic person in her life that got her to mimik those behaviors so incredibly well throughout the show. Her selfish pride always slipping into a hurt victimhood lashing out whenever she feels vulnerabel feels so scarily real with her performance.

[@peterwilliams2887]

Have to say helps her character is demigod levels of wealthy lol

[@scoopdoopfloop]

Calvin looked so depressed this whole episode lol

[@War_Maker]

Hard not to be, and I don’t even live in the US.

[@vickster5001]

They said they watched it 2 days after the US election, so I’m not surprised.

[@randomiser2267]

I love it

@@randomiser2267 It's a hell of a thing to enjoy having voted themselves into a neofascist political system.

[@choodi24]

These last three episodes of S4 are the absolute peak of television

[@John_Locke_108]

Yup. This show ended with three absolutely amazing episodes. The final two are even better than this one.

[@viv12348]

I would even say the last four

[@MrCian47]

Literally untouched sequence of episodes.

"America Decides" is such a great episode title

[@TANroyAwSoMe]

I love this episode but also hate it because it's too real.

[@scoopdoopfloop]

Shiv has always been against Mencken. Yes she might gain something extra from it now that she's team Matsson but she was already against him.

[@williammccormick984]

"Maybe the poison drips through" is the thesis statement of the entire show.

[@pariamtzv]

Im not even American but still this episode makes me sooo anxious and sad and angry in so many ways

[@scoopdoopfloop]

12:29 i love the line read of "i never won it was always fucking chicken" i don't know why. i just love listening to it

[@John_Locke_108]

Yup next episode features the best performance of the show. Absolutely incredible show.

[@eighteen-naked-cowboys]

arcane season 1 clears unfortunately

[@LaCheeserie]

There are multiple Sopranos runs as good and better. The Wire. Curb.

[@r4eees702]

@@LaCheeserie I can't think of any sopranos 3 episode runs as good. Maybe 4x11 - 4x13 of the wire is close but not better imo

[@pariamtzv]

I never hated Roman this much in the whole damn show , he was such an a**hole in this episode 🤬🤬🤬

[@John_Locke_108]

I understand that he might be angry because his Dad died and he's taking it out on the world but I thought he pre-grieved so shouldn't he be completely fine and not trying to burn the whole building down?

America Decides! Amazing episode.

[@rini6]

I can’t imagine watching this on November 7. 😬

[@JenLight]

Little fun trivia: The Dem candidate, Jimenez, is played by the same actor that plays Vera the psycho drug dealer who killed Shayla on Mr. Robot. It's kinda crazy. He barely looks like the same person.

[@williammccormick984]

I know, right? It's like actors play different roles in their careers over time and aren't tied to one shitty role in one shitty show YOU saw.

[@David-cg1lh]

👀 Brother relax he said he didn't look the same damn.

[@nickrubin7312]

One would think that just saying stuff out of nothing, without data or source, would in fact discredit a news network, if the primary goal were the news. The more loud, vicious, relentless, unapologetically confident you are just saying stuff that some people want to hear, the more credit you get from this people for being "brave" and "saying it like it is", and "not politically correct" and so on. It really tried and tested at this point, pretty simple concept.

[@Pedro-nl4ul]

Every episode of this season is a banger, insane run

[@XxJiiGSAWx]

Gregg sipping his lemon water and saying it's not that lemony might be the funniest moment in the show tbh

[@legally_richard]

The genius of this show is how they can seamlessly weave in something hilarious like the wasabi in the eyes into an otherwise very serious story

[@thepimp31]

To me this had the hardest closing. "some people just cant cut a deal vikret" and the music starts playing.

[@codebread5315]

That Thumbnail is so real.

[@Hoenhime344]

your vote has never truly mattered.

[@vickster5001]

Watching that 2 days after the election. Maybe that was less stressful than people watching it when it aired with the election still ahead? Either way, it’s always an intense watch, superbly written and acted. Plus I love some of the visuals - Ken frozen on those stairs and Roman marching past up them, as he becomes the brother on top, in the winning team that night and Greg’s little shrug to Shuv is perfect. Ken has always kept Greg sweet, but shiv thought threatening him was enough. If she’d offered him something, he might not have talked, although he’s smart enough to work out Ken is likely the better choice for his own ends.

[@ElleDursten]

Shivs arrogance always bites her back. She always dismissed Greg, but Ken and Tom always kept him close. They know loyalty its something Logan always rewarded but Shiv never learned that lesson. She betrays everyone.

[@the_crypter]

​@@ElleDursten Are we watching the same show lmao ? Didn't they betray her first ? Hell, isn't betrayal what everyone does in this show ?

[@ElleDursten]

@ I am not saying the kids are loyal. They are not loyal to anyone nor each other but Ken and Tom know that rewarding loyalty from others it’s necessary. Just like Logan did. Even if he tossed the person after they are not useful anymore. Shiv cannot even do that. She just dismissed everyone without thinking about how they could be useful to her. Proving once again that she has no game at all.

[@LaCheeserie]

@@ElleDurstendismissed everyone? Ok just making things up. All of the kids fumble it. Tom bumbles his way up. People talk of him like he is so competent. The show has him talk of a lot of ish, but no real evidence of competence. A beggar in a nice suit, willing to be anyone’s puppet

[@anais6654]

Once again Shiv was always against Mencken. I feel like you guys judge her quickly than any characters

[@pariamtzv]

12:02 i happen to be a billionaire , sorry. -Connor Roy 2023

[@bigpictureguys8415]

13:43 Ken dropped his guard and was vulnerable with Shiv. Her continuing to play games there was the final straw

[@RaedViera]

This is my favorite episode, but this is still not as crazy as the real story. The 2000 election, Bush v. Gore

[@itsallgoodman_]

Did you know the day this episode was released was also the actual election day for Turkey? It was really, really weird to watch this episode in the morning after voting lmao. Just wanted to share this coincidence with y'all since Eric, Calvin & Aaron has also seen this episode 2 days after United States' election, which is another weird coincidence.

[@Wolf6119]

Hahaha, what a silly episode of this satirical television show, exaggerating the grotesqueness of the political-medial complex in the context of modern fascism, that could of course in NO WAY reflect the reality of our actual world. Hah. Hah. Fuuuuuuuck.

[@DToomer]

Watching this just days after the Election is brutal.

[@GregoDoblaje]

Schwartz is german for black.

[@dandu8785]

shiv could have easily "won" this if she paid for greg's silence, instead she threatened him which was just cringe and pathetic

[@shahriachowdhury9552]

She underestimated him, like she underestimates everyone (Shiv is smart but believes her hype just like Kendall believes his hype). Greg has come a long way from S1, maybe he would have crumbled then but not this Greg.

[@scoopdoopfloop]

It's very dumb of her but i do believe it because i don't think she knows Greg like at all. I might be wrong but i don't think they've ever talked one on one before this scene.

[@chaost4544]

Shiv thinks she's the smartest person in the room. It's always been her problem.

[@jm6406]

like the democrat party not offering the people anything and only threatening them with another trumpresidency. and we saw how that went

[@LaCheeserie]

@@shahriachowdhury9552 exactly, she handled him like he was still season one Greg. And really, not like she hasn’t used honey over vinegar before, it was a bit off, like a way to get the result. But all the siblings fumble at the goal line so it is par for the course

[@peterwilliams2887]

The last speech by Menkin this episode still sends shivers down my spine because it shows just how terrifying *and effective* a true Republican fascist ideologue would be here in the US

[@kildeer]

god this is so hard to watch after this month, it's just a little too real

[@JayCyrZak]

Love Roman this episode, he's such a little gremlin.

[@scoopdoopfloop]

he's always a gremlin, in this episode he's just a mean cunt

[@John_Locke_108]

I was watching the news on Election day but around 11:00 am EST I gave up because there were no results yet. So I just waited until the morning to find out who won.

[@LaCheeserie]

Also why didn’t she ever really try to get Jimenez block the deal! It’s one deal, there are other things he could have done anti big business

[@6Rock6God6]

This episode really highlights Shiv's hipocrisy. If she actually cared about the country more than herself she would have sacrificed the deal for the country, but she just couldn't do it.

[@LaCheeserie]

Greg even tried to guide Siobhan with the how golden. Just offer me something and I’m yours. But nope, she f it up. Her hardest L

[@John_Locke_108]

I'm sure Greg is a terrible negotiationer and would have accepted 6 figures which is nothing to her.
