Yep enjoyed this week's episode. Another great episode and another without the wife.

I'm sure the framing of the Dr will come back to get them.

Great Iceland is back, hope he is about more. Sinister fker.

Binge watched this evening, and for me, the series took 5 episodes to get going, but then hit the spot.

Episode 7 was great - a good way to end the series, although there's another episode next week I believe.... anyway, maybe this series should be it... it's been great, let's quit while we're ahead!

I think he may lead to big trouble for Axe. There have been a few scenes where they've made a point of saying "If only we could find this guy with the beard and the hat". Now he's back in business he may just get recognised.

Just a theory.

Yeah he's a weak link in the chain. When he came back he had shaved his beard and changed his glasses which might help.

There is definitely a big twist coming because as someone above said 5 episodes left and they went from Chuck about to plant evidence to wrapping it all up in 1 episode. So more to come

Where did you get that? I just checked and they want £7.99 x 12.

Really enjoyed this week's episode. Is Axe losing it?

Well he folded on the $370M fine in double quick time so he is either losing it and been broken or.....???

Ps - he always said he would NEVER take a deal but he may have just looked upon it as a cost of trade or similar?

Really enjoying this series - by far the best thing I'm watching at the moment. The only thing I would criticise is the cartoonish idiocy of Spyros. He's so over the top irritating and silly it seems such a lazy character in such high class writing.

Was thinking specifically of how he deliberately undid everything Tailor did whilst he was away. I can see Tailor wanting out and starting her own firm, and then we could end up with Tailor vs Axe in Series 4!

Will also be interesting to see what Chuck does next - will he turn his sights back to Axe Capital after all?

I'm surprised at the meekness of some of Axe's team.

Every trader I've ever met has had a fair degree of 'themselves'. Dollar Bill is the only one that reminds me of them.

Didn't want to pop my head in here until I finally caught up with this, I was enjoying it so much I was shocked to find I had no more to watch!

I'm not sure if I'm getting used to it or if it's just because the show focus is different but I don't feel as lost as I did on the earlier seasons. I don't think you could cast this show better because it's just perfect the way it is.

I can live with that because if they were all Dollar Bills it'd be mayhem every week.

I just find the Spyros character out of sorts with the rest of them. Two dimensional and irritating.

Not made up. Google "ortolan". You may or may not fancy it quite so much after reading up on it!

I think it's illegal now anyway, not that would stop anyone determined.
