Rob finally standing up to someone was so great to see, even if he ended apologizing to Henry Muck afterwards. Also, between Nicole and her daughter, he can’t catch a break, geez. It’s so weird seeing Eric treat Yasmin more kindly than he ever did Harper 😭. I weirdly love Petra and how robotic she is. Can’t wait to see her and Harper team up.
It’s mind boggling to me that everyone knows now that Harper doesn’t have a degree, yet no one will tell her or offer her a solution to finally GETTING the degree??? I just wish they would resolve that part of the storyline. I would to see her come back to Pierpoint in the end and wipe up the floor with everyone. I enjoy seeing her work ruthlessly.
It’s not their job to be a parent to tell her what she knows she could Do herself. These characters are adults and adults don’t go around babysitting other people’s lives.
She wants to be seen as a player by these people and it's still a huge blindspot for her. There is always going to be another person wanting to take advantage of that and then drop her when they've gotten what they want. Brutal to keep relearning this lesson, but if this is what she values in herself (and has been trained to value in herself since childhood), it's going to be hard to stop wanting other people to value it.
Tbh I don’t think I really root for anyone. I think I’m just captivated by all of it, the ways the characters win and the ways they don’t is all interesting to me.
I cant wait to see Harper eat them off the floor. She shouldve finished the degree online or something so that they could shut up about it. I also feel like its easy for them to pick on her because she isnt a nepo baby. Yasmin didnt desearve that abuse by her father! Idk how no one is talking about that in the comments. Nice to see Rob defend himself but feel for Venetia not knowing who her man really is.
Harper is a runner. She failed one exam because of a panic attack. Some professors would have let her take it again. Worst case, just re-take the class. But when Harper makes up her mind, she's as stubborn as anyone. Just like at end of season 2. They're trying to leave Pierpoint and got a full offer from Nomura to work in New York. But Harper already decided she's not going back to New York, so she blew up the whole thing, got DVD fired and tried to do the same to Rishi.
I absolutely hate her character. In the first place she was a fraud at Pierpoint. She's stabbed so many people in the back and she believes she is above everyone else. Glad she got humbled when she got fired. Yasmin is also such a bitch I hate her. I hate Eric, he comes across as a psycho who thinks he can bully and intimidate anyone. I love the show don't get me wrong but it's full of absolutely repulsive characters. The only two I like at Pierpoint are Rishi and Rob.
I think it really speaks to her being addicted to the feeling of pulling off a good trade. After having been fired from Pierpoint she's been hungry for someone's ear to discuss trades with. She was requesting Anna for time in the first episode of the season, and when Petra asks for her ideas, she can't say no.
I agree, and I feel like PowerPoint was like that before these new grads joined. Everyone just went about their day, yeah work was stressful but it wasn’t all this backstabbing and their entire life. Eric is a great example, before all this he was a happy man with a wife and kids. He had a life outside of the floor. Now you got 3 main characters who are out to prove something and have made work their entire personality. Harper: narcissistic liar, who failed college and is out to “make something of herself.” Unfortunately she isn’t a good person so her relationships with people don’t last and all she got is her job. Which is the only thing she is good at. Yas: nepo baby that wants to make something of herself. For some reason she chose a life in finance rather than just being a rich trust fund baby with no care in the world. She got better over time, but she’s only really good at her job because of her reputation/connections. Rob: from a poorer background who surprise, wants to make something of himself and prove to his father and others he is someone. The weakest of the bunch technically, but is surprisingly personable and charming. I have the most hope for him to become normal, and the most likely to be bred into being an executive at the company. Adler taking a liking to him at RIF hinted at something imo.
Harper stabs everyone in the back, that's well established by now. She is utterly ruthless and untrustworthy. I feel like this season is trying to make Yasmin the main character.
I feel the same…that they’re trying to make Yasmin the main character but it’s just not doing anything for me. Yes, Harper is ruthless but doesn’t one have to be in this industry (pun intended)? I love the chemistry and intense relationship Harper and Eric have and feeling this strong need to see more of it. I was happy that Rob stood up for himself against Henry.
Sarah Goldberg is a fantastic actress. Every sentence is pure sass and she is chewing the scenery. I know Harper is probably going to stab her in the back later in the season, but I hope they keep her around
This makes for good television but if this were real life I'd try to tell all of these characters, most especially Harper, that a job is just a job and not worth all this manipulative Shakespearian maneuvering. Just go to work, do an alright job, get paid, and live your life. Even a mediocre financial analyst can live better than like 95% of humans on the planet. Live it up, work is just a means to fund a fun life. But that would be less excellent material for television, for this and a lot of shows. I've worked in some toxic places in my time and can't imagine interacting with people who scheme and backstab this frequently.
Petra’s her pony out of Future Dawn. She’s not going anywhere there and she knows it. Petra’s more her speed. Petra does stuff Anna hates, too. E01 they argued and revealed that the two are polar opposites as well as Anna stating the direction she wants Future Dawn to go, and Petra wanting to do what she wants. E02 Petra wanted to see why Eric reached out 9 times about hiring Harper and what was true that everyone said about her. Petra was just sizing up Harper and seeing how she moves. Harper’s what, mid 20’s at this point? She’s still in range to fuckup and figure it out. And it’s looking like Petra’s going to show Harper some new ways of moving in the world of finance.
Yes! I was waiting for someone to bring up the dynamic between Petra and Anna very similar to when Yasmin and Harper would go at it. Simply two different individuals with unique upbringings and different mindsets. Petra is definitely Harper’s speed very blunt, ambitious and wicked smart.
This episode once again showed how depraved this lot of individuals are. Fascinating to watch. Yasmin and Rob are the only people I feel bad for in light of their toxic upbringing. I hope they both become more confident and kick some more ass. Does the actress (Myha'la) who plays Harper have any additonal acting range? She only ever does one character in any movie she's in.
m still trying to process her not re-taking the final class she needed during the time jump. I'm guessing it's been at least a year --- wtf was she doing ?

Takes a man to fight and it takes a man to apologize.

“What are you thinking of right now?”
“Urine.”

By the end of this series, Harper will be on top so high with unlimited money behind her…
And how many addictions???

She’s truly an agent of chaos, and (un)fortunately I am so excited to see what she’s up to next.

What’s the deal with Yasmin and her dad? Did she accidentally kill him on the yacht? The show is hinting at it.
I think you're right. I also think to make things more messed up, he was probably drunk and he tried to rape his own daughter.

Yes!! Harper needs to be the main

Absolutely amazing in Barry
that’s the magic of harpsichord ♥

My’ala does have an acting range
Is this IA generated nonsense? It misread sooo many scenes!!!
