Jun 1, 2018It was a slow burn all season. Wondering just how Chuck was gonna get to Bobby kept me interested all season long and the finale was the payoff. It was a great end to a brilliant season that just clicked.

May 13, 2017Much better than the first season. I loved his from beginning to end. Hopefully, next season beats this by a mile. Unlike the first season, there was more natural and realistic story-telling, rather than shock-and-awe which the first season did (in the beginning anyways). 9/10

Jun 22, 2018Season two raises the stakes for literally every character, tensions get higher, and overall, it's just more fun. The season had a slow beginning, but it got more intense as the episodes went by. This show captivated me, and I'm surprised to hear myself say that I finally found a show that's unique, enticing, and so amusing to watch.

Jan 1, 2020It justs gets better and better. What a great cast and such smart writing, I can’t wait till season 3!

Mar 13, 2017This show gets better all the time, as the main protagonists plot and scheme. Wonderful storyline, totally believable acting, with tension being created in every episode. Axelrod has to win, the government can't use the law in this way (See, I'm a believer, it's working).

Feb 19, 2017'Billions' season 2 starts in a smarter way than the previous one, using its wit to plunge some humor among the seriousness of its plot. It still needs to grow a little bit, but for now, it's a very good start.

Mar 1, 2017The first season was brilliant and so far season 2 has surpassed my expectations. Great characters, humour, and a fascinating story line.
One of the best shows out there at the moment. -
Jul 11, 2017Tried to give it a shot again with season two, but it continued to be unwatchable. Had to quit mid-way through. The cast is great, but the writing is sub-par. Don't waste your time.

Dec 28, 2017Billions fails to maintain its early momentum and move on from being a dramatised pissing contest. Storytelling gimmicks from Season 1 continue. Sloppy scriptwriting and confusing lurches in tone reveal that the showrunners have divergent ideas about what Billions is supposed to be. The result is a tedious shambles that sells the excellent cast short and is unreasonably impressed by itself.
-
Billions hasn’t abandoned any of the various subtexts that make it so absorbing; in fact, the decreased furor means it brings more attention to those themes.
-
With a few new characters of mixed importance and a lower ratio of fresh-to-good storylines, Billions hasn’t advanced in its second season. It’s just provided more toys for Chuck and Axe to fight over.
-
It’s all nutty, and much of it defies logic as it flies by with the help of sleek production values and fast editing. But the bigger problem is the acting, or should I say over-acting.
