To be fair episode 10 was a cracker. Damien Lewis just dominates the screen. Him and Paul Giamatti are at a different level from all the other actors.

Finally Axe is back......

It's clearly set for a great finale now, unfortunately just as it seems to be getting back to it's previous best it'll be the last episode. I guess it's better to go out on a high though.

Ah, what a difference Axe makes to the show.


And there he is, like Handre Pollard coming on and booting 3 points from his own half!


Which, I guess, is a lightweight Billions style pop reference! paperbag

It's testament to the script-writing and Lewis' on-screen presence and capability; he really does elevate every scene he's in and was sorely missed.

I think Paul Giamatti steals every scene he is in. His little subtle movements, delivery of lines, body language, he is an impeccable actor.

I've watched the show from the start and enjoyed it. Nice to have Damian Lewis back on, I wonder what the plans might have been if Covid and personal tragedy hadn't occurred?

It has meant that Prince has had time to be built up as baddy to take down. There's a lot to tie up in only 2 episodes.

Oh absolutely, Giamatti is superb as well. I was merely agreeing with Don Veloci about Axe.

beer Jeffrey DeMunn is similarly excellent, in fact I've rarely seen such a strong cast. The characterisation is brilliant and the casting spot on, and I mean from top to bottom.

Just watched the penultimate episode.

Dunlop accepting the VP ticket has to be related to Axe & Chuck.
Prince being at Camp David and effectively uncontactable at the same time as Phillip is investing all the cash again will be pivotal I think.
Also, look back to the first episode of this series - Prince storms into MPC and throws a printer through a window. That’s not been referenced since - I think that scene might be a ‘spoiler’ for the whole series. Maybe.

Interting theory. I also think Dunlop has done as intended.

I thought it was the best episode in a while.

There were so many references to how it was impossible to ruin MPC without losing their friends and employees investments that any solution will I think resolve this somehow

According to Now TV, the finale is on Friday not today. Is it different on Sky?
