Billions is not for everyone i think.
Yup, as its popcorn viewing .

Random plot lines that got go where, random plot changes that make no sense/are too good to be true, deliberately over the top.

It doesn't take itself seriously, and requires the viewer to do the same.

I didn’t spot the Heat reference?

This show is comfortably in my top three drama list!

Just caught up with the 3 episodes of the new season.

Anyone else notice that chuck has put some weight on, a nod to the fact that he’s lost focus a bit now he’s not in power. Also his suits are looking quite crumpled, again a sign that he’s on the down?

Yeah, that’s very diliberate and not that he’s been on the pies chilling. I love giammati as an actor. Lewis not so much, I’m bored of the regular facial expressions no matter the challenge.

Anyone in the game that can relate to how this is compared to the real world trading and investment game? Are you sat laughing and shouting at the telly at the thought of the poor chickens?

Near the start in Axe's office they are talking about getting back at Taylor and Wendy says to Axe you are Neil Macauley putting it all on the line to go after Waingrow.

I didn’t even know this was back out until reading this forum.

I’ll be able to have a multi-episode binge!

Didn't get the heat reference, but the refs I do get usually make me smile.

Cracking start to the new series. This is easily my favourite current drama on TV. Like to see more of Chuck Sr's back story though....

Wasn't entirely sure of what Chuck's old job was, or the differences, had to go look.

Anyone else noticing Axe out of character for this season? he doesnt seem to be the 'go getter' untouchable as he was in previous seasons.

Game of Thrones can suck it. This is the best thing on TV, well ever.

If you haven't already, watch every single episode (take breaks lol) back to back. It's gripping :-)
We are now in a new phase of cooperation and fighting back and it's Good!
