FTA-TV Billions

[Unique Name]

Watched first two episodes last night and really enjoyed them.

Damien Lewis and Paul Giamatti both seem to have good character roles with lots of depth. Having two main characters on either side of the story keeps the pace of the show fast with lots happening in each episode.

Looking forward to the next ep.

forgot this was coming

I've seen the first half of the first episode, and really liked it. It has a nice Suits vibe to it.

 

[rumply]

Good stuff, I was in after the first 60 seconds

 

[Spirit Level]

Yeah I like this one.

Axelrod has a very punchable face

Bit surprised this one isn't getting more attention, first 2 ep's have been very good imho & there's been some faces popping up I haven't seen for a while, interesting cast & Paul G is flawless as usual.

Nice show

 

[gaskin]

Mrs Axe is a boss.

 

[akkaps]

Really liked the dog scene. Did lol.


It's hard to take Malin seriously in a drama, plus the short hair.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Good ep. Who the **** gets Metallica on their TV show!

 

[Spirit Level]

This weeks ep was a bit different, still good though!

 

[gaskin]

This show is brilliant. Getting Metallica to appear was awesome.

 

[rumply]

Been good from the start & getting better as it goes, the final couple of minutes provided a bit to think about.

& Kerry Bishe, hubba hubba.

 

[Spirit Level]

Feel like we got to see a slightly more human side of axelrod this week. Interesting ep

 

[Gasometer]

Have up to Ep 4....is this gunna be a binge?

Not necessarily imo, don't mind week to week at this point

 

[Rod Stroker]

They are losing me. His kinky fetish is unconvincing. He's a US Attorney, a public figure, the fact that no one in these clubs has recognised him and broadcast it is nonsense. Especially with that obnoxious reporter/journalist all over him.
I'll give it another week but I feel like not even Giamatti can save this.

I'm loving the show, getting better each week! I really thought Axel was getting out of the game, that surprised me.

The kinky sex life of the US Attorney and his wife must be leading to something, otherwise there isn't much point to showing it.

You must be hard to please. One minute you love the show, the next you're completely off it.

How is it unconvincing? Clearly the club he went to is very private, and unless that reporter was stalking him 24/7, he may not know about it. We also have no idea if the reporter does know, that may be the reason it keeps coming up.

I never said I loved the show. Last week was a decent ep for the insights it gave into Axe, but what they do on the show is way too unrealistic with some cringeworthy writing and dialog.

Like the previous ep where his dad started the buyout rumor, then had a friendly analyst upgrade the stock significantly, then he started buying the stock, which sent it soaring. This then triggered an investigation by the SEC, and all of this apparently happened over a day or two, which is nonsense as IRL it would happen over weeks/months.

I knew I recognised Axe's lawyer from somewhere; Remus from Boardwalk Empire

 

[Elixuh]

Really enjoying this show. Has been a bit loose at times and has threatened to get a bit soapy but everything is there for a great series.

Giamatti is perfect.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

The problem with this show it has a shelf life of 1 season imo.

Rhoades chase of Axe is becoming tiresome. Their needs to be an end game soon.

He was the killer in season one of True Detective as well I'm fairly sure
