    I Love Jennifer Coolidge’s character but I understand that this show can’t revolve around her character and the way she died was soooo Tanya that I’m not mad about it.

      That is what is brilliant about that ending. We are used to Hollywood films and how people handle stress all pro and everything like they are navy seals. Which is total BS.
      Can you imagine a regular person going through such trauma? That fear of impending doom and then killing people.
      Many ordinary folks die when a traumatic even happens due to panic. So this ending is way more real for her character than her going down the stairs and driving away in that boat like a James Bondina.

    2. Madame Butterfly.
    With all her issues, death seemed like the only way to kill her demons.

    Jennifer Coolidge absolutely nailed the performance and managed to make a character that wasn't self aware at all extremely likeable and charismatic. And also a main character that had a pretty tragic life (while very privileged too) hilarious. Obv. kudos for Mike White for this. She was one of my faves but the way she died was hilarious, as sad as I also felt.

    I was so annoyed and upset after watching the finale and seeing Jennifer Coolages character go out like that. I felt like this could have been her redemption moment. She smokes them all, gets away all on her own, realizing that she’s not as helpless as she thinks BUT as I sat with it for a bit, I get it. I feel like the ending with Albi getting played ( all 3 of them checking out that girl out at the airport), what’s his name suddenly being attracted to Harper ( only after he bangs Daphne), ect…. It’s just a reminder that people don’t usually have these intense epiphanies in a week that changes their entire perspective on life. So yes, it does make perfect sense that Tanya went out the way she did ( even after finally catching on and killing those bastards) only to die is the most ridiculous way. I don’t know if that made any sense cause I’m rambling. I also saw somewhere that Daphne basically admits to Cameron not being the father of her kids ( but I missed that). A lot going on in that show.

    Sometimes as a writer it's not about the ending you want or the ending you think would be funny
    It's about what readers or audiences would appreciate more, you're not writing for yourself after all
    Killing off Tanya and in such a clumsy way might have been funny to him but it also came off lazy and rushed. And I don't get this "dying like that was so Tanya" thing
    Sure she's needy, sure she's clumsy, sure she's a little weird but she didn't deserve to die.
    Also Tanya, didn't just die, killing Tanya means Greg won, he gets all her money
    I don't think anyone liked that

      I didn't think Tanya had another option. Leaving the boat and returning to the hotel meant police and trial. Returning to Greg meant always wondering, because even at the end, when it was obvious Greg was in on the plot to kill her, she still obsessed about whether he loved someone else. Her connection with reality was minimal at best. She could divorce him, but would she?
