    Love it, it’s like a western without the guns, a showdown of intellects. I hope it keeps the excitement going!

    My 9's are few and far between but "Billions", oh yeh. It was a great, then outstanding third season!

There are so many really great scenes that are setup so well, along with contributions from actor favorites. The writing team definitely had a strategy of making pop culture references like I've never seen. Also, there was definitely two, no THREE parts to the season: it really could've ended with episode 7 since it brought a full segment to closure. But there were loose ends to tie up with twists/turns in Chuck's political and DOJ aspirations. Problem point: the way that Wendy can kick Chuck into gear is fascinating but there was a bit too much of it this season without adverse consequences and this is one of the fatal problems I had with "The Americans" in its final season where Elizabeth became an unstoppable and untouchable killing machine, so implausible and that's what's happening with the Chuck & Wendy story and it needs to stop. She can't just keep telling him to neutralize opponents and have him execute it with the simplicity of Checkers, his actions should be more nuanced, difficult, and he needs to get foiled if not busted. Everything cuts nicely his way and that's not cool. It's obvious they were running out of season run time and started taking shortcuts but WRITERS, it's noticeable! And that's how I felt till the second ending came in episode 11! The season could've ended right there and still set up for a season four. But no, episode 12, the season finale, set up season four - yes, that was confirmed days ago, for a MONSTER season. And yes, there was comeuppance in ep12, well deserved, juicy comeuppance. Oh "Billions" I do love thee, but to wait another year for Season Four is cruel torture in deed.… Expand

    Crash, bang, wallop. Straight out of the gate and leaving the rest behind. Still fresh and powerful, the acting is now tight and totally believable. The 3rd season and I can confidently say, it's still going from strength to strength. Well done team at Best Available!, TBTF Productions Inc., Showtime Networks.

    Just amazing. How far it has come from season 1. It just keeps getting better and more intense. I can't stop thinking about that season finale. Just great all around!

    Despite an ensemble cast that ranks among the best on TV playing characters who are usually colorful and quirky and fun, the ponderous repetitiveness of what the series does with them is all-too-frequently mechanical.

    The ground has shaken and the aftershocks are keeping things mighty interesting through five new episodes.

    The series is a wicked, decadent comedy about our impending apocalypse, its relativism suggesting a cheeky come-on as well as a parting attempt at some sort of clarity.
