Is there a place where I can stream the episodes? Please pm me if you're able to help
Good finale. I don't know if a company can legally absorb board seats or call a meeting to kick out a CEO without all the board being, at least, notified though. Although, I am not a corporate lawyer.
They didn't absorb a board seat, they bought it when they bought out the shares of the billionaire dude.
If this was the last we see of Russ, its a crime. He was awesome. His doucheness was just so fun to see, great character.

Indeed. Russ and the litigator added in the final two episodes were great. I like that female coder, too, even though she was a bit too much Gilfoy (one Gilfoy is enough).
I hope those characters are back--though Richard said that all of their new hires quit.
I love the subtle hints of Jared being some unconscious deutschephile or Nazi sympathizer. I hope they continue to play it straight--a couple of jokes here and there, no story behind it.
His whole thing about the way doors open on cars in gold.
"Well, 960 million is pretty much a billion."
"Not if they round down! I have 0 billion!"
I do agree with the board that Richard is pretty much the issue with why they keep fucking up what appears to be an awesome product. Rarely do real coders make great leaders. How many gaming companies are lead by developers that turn to shit?

Yeah, Richard is a shit CEO, but I don't understand why he can't override the board because of his majority share of the company
He may not be majority shareholder anymore. I don't know how much he sold to Russ. Unless he retained 51% through all the sales, he might be outvoted.

He doesn't have majority voting rights. Go back to the meeting at Russ's house: Pied Piper had 2 (Richard and Ehrlich), Raviga had 1 (Monica) and Russ had 2 (Russ and his girlfriend). Raviga bought out Russ, which meant they got his 2 that brought them up to 3 seats out of 5. Keep in mind that a board seat doesn't necessarily have any relation to the stock ownership in a company. The board's job is usually to work in favor of the stockholders, which is why they'll do things like oust a poorly-performing CEO.
Yeah, but Richard HAS to have at least 51% of voting shares of the company. If he had given up his majority share, that would be the worst tech/business mistake of the show. No way even a dumbass like richard would give that up. And, since he has a majority share, he should be able to just call a stockholders meeting and elect more board members to get a majority on the board. Hell, he should be even able to remove board members, right?
That would be the worst mistake of the show. No way he sold enough voting shares to dip under 51%.

NYTIMES said:Where do I find Alphabet?
Not on Alphabet.com. That website belongs to BMW, the carmaker. But good luck getting on the site. Around 7 p.m. Monday, the site was slow to load, likely because so many people were searching for the new company. The owner of @alphabet on Twitter is probably making a lot of new friends, too.
Well, that was an interesting way to end a Monday…

If you want to see the website of the new company, it’s at abc.xyz. And if you look close enough, you’ll find an Easter egg, an Internet treat hidden from plain sight. Click more on Alphabet’s home page, scroll two-thirds of the way down and click on the period after “drone delivery effort.” You’ll be sent to the website of Hooli, the fictional company in the HBO series “Silicon Valley.”
Considered a spoof of Google and its growing ambitions, hooli.xyz promises moonshot projects and “radical thinkers who are building not only the future, but the future’s future.”
Self-driving cars? Why stop there? the site beckons. Self-flying cars are what Hooli promises. And maybe, one day, Alphabet might, too.
