Anyone catch last nights episode?

What's up with Chuck, worked so hard to get to where he got, only to give up at the end? There must be more to it.

I like Billions, but it does seem a bit aimless at times. Who are we supposed to root for now? Axe? Chuck? Taylor? Do we care?

I think Axe and Chuck are the ‘heroes’, but it’s not very black and white.

It’s getting a bit silly, the Chuck character is brilliant this series but some of the others have become so vindictive it begs the question of how they became so successful in the first place. It’s starting to become like ‘the troubles’ it’s been so long no one cares who threw the first stone.

or took the bit out of his mouth and is now no longer letting her dictate terms!

She's already walked 2-3 times, she needs to recommit to him and his truth or leave!

I love this show but like others, it has a tendency to be repetitive.

Wendy keeps leaving Chuck, Taylor spends almost no time building her new business and Wags, Wags, Wags...can someone tell me why he's in this?

I'm enjoying it. Characters are becoming a bit more outlandish so as long as it doesn't go too far. The st train was funny.

I enjoyed this week. Less Wags hi-jinks and more of the office politics which does make it a bit soap opera at times but at least keeps the secondary characters in play a bit.

Good to see a bit more of Conarty and I enjoyed the scene with the doctor in prison.

Axe back on top and I quite like the Saler's takeover story.

Just caught up on last weeks. Good episode. The pop-culture references are getting a little bit silly now, the Dr standing there like Lector , then even referring to it himself. Its a bit forced and like the writers are having a competition with each other to get as many in as possible. Mustn't complain too much though as it is excellent.

Confused by Chuck not going for the deal. All he had to give up was the mobile voting which he doesn't want anyway. Assume its part of a bigger plan. Maybe he is hoping he leaves the train there longer he will get it all without having to give the AG anything.

Its not listed on Sky Atlantic for this week. Is there a break or something? Only 2/3 episodes left I assume so funny place to have a break.

they cancelled this week so game of thrones can ruin everyones feelings.

I hate TV shows that have breaks in showing, 2 weeks between episodes kind of kills my interest a little. Although billions has been quite consistent. Some shows bring out seasons with multiple weeks missing all over the place.

They forgot to tell the Scandinavian countries though. Apparently their version of atlantic/hbo go aired it anyway and quickly pulled it.

Mother fkers! I've got 2 small kids, so almost infinite time to watch TV of an evening, I can certainly fit in 2 hours worth!

I didn't know there was another episode, having said that I did think the last one I saw left some questions.....

Can't see it on sky, guess I'll watch it when it comes on
