Great show with a great cast, acting, sets and script, it needed to end though and I'm glad the writers didn't continue to try and milk it further. S1 & 2 were the best for me. S3 was OK but S4 had an awful lot of padding, the last five episodes felt like 1 hour crammed into 5, watchable but not riveting.

For me the show lost the interest / appeal once Logan Roy died and after that was just treading water covering basiaclly a funeral and the eventual sale of Waystar. The ending was somewhat unexpected but they started to telegraph it the latter half of the final episode with the various phone calls and conversations. I'm really surprised "Tight-Rope Tom" didn't can Greg though, probably because he thought Greg was much like himself, a totally self-serving, conniving, slimy, two-faced bootlicker.

Great TV overall but not something I'd feel inclined to watch through again, S1 & 2 held my interest more as there were numerous mini-stories unravelling, S4 there was just one, a long and dragged out one. I'd give the seasons a rating of:

S1: 9
S2: 8
S3: 6
S4: 5
