Started a week ago from the beginning again. Probably my third time through the first couple of seasons and finally starting to have a little understanding of the money talk.

Axe is a great character (spoiled greatly when he sang the national anthem) but Chuck is even better I have concluded (and his mrs is pure filth).

Going to continue to binge so I can do the last season in a few sittings as possible.

The previous season was a disappointment.

Nevertheless, thanks for flagging, I'll give this one a go!

Assume Sky Atlantic? Is this the last one?

Is it worth watching the second to last series before the latest?

Is it needed to watch the latest?

I'd say yes but biased as loved the entire thing, even if it lost its way a bit after season 3. Hoping for a great finale, its looking OK so far.its all about Chuck as the main man for me, always has been but nice to see Damian Lewis back into it after his wife passing.

I love Billions, it has dipped a bit but one more season is fair enough.

Also, has Wendy had a fun bag enhancement?

They should never have moved from Connecticut to NY.

I haven't watched the new stuff yet but downloaded S7 Ep 1. It says only 2 episodes are available, is that correct?

And the new episodes start with

the bit where Prince throws a PC through Wendy's door?

I really enjoyed the last few minutes of episode 1.

And if we didn't know already, Chuck is sneakily brilliant.

That bit was like "Billions is (properly) back!"

Enjoyed them walking off screen to "London Calling" at the end of Episode 1. I like to think they were heading to Craven Cottage for an evening kick-off.

The way those first two episodes went, I think that might be all we’re seeing of Axe this season

Let’s see, cheesecake.

Where is this moated castle? Night shots showed a lot of traffic in the not so distant background.

Enjoying this again, annoying when a whole season isn't released as one though. We've become spoilt!!

Raby Castle in County Durham apparently.

Well, they still haven’t managed to find cameos who can even vaguely act.

It would be even better if we got a clue who these cameos are.

the basketballer giving the motivational talk to Chuck was Kareem Abdul Jabbar. No idea who the businessman at the start was, assuming he was a cameo and not just a st actor.
