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.
