Jun 17, 2019The first season was OK, but this show has succumbed to “series preservation syndrome”, in which the writers decide to write not to create a compelling story arc, but to create a rationale for yet another season. Plus, the writing is God-awful and pompous and almost all of the characters are insufferable.

The series itself came into existence prior to Donald Trump’s ascendance to the presidency, and its piggish swagger felt like almost too much. Now it is the perfect pleasure, encapsulating all that we loathe about the hyper-wealthy and the ruthless calculations they make to consolidate power while allowing us to appreciate the brazen, strutting might and certainty with which these titans operate.

Season four of Billions charts a middle path, shifting around enough of its usual architecture to feel fresh, while also continuing to follow most of its original characters and stories. ... It’s fun to keep the game board mostly the same while swapping all the usual allegiances. It’s especially satisfying to watch Chuck and Bobby scheme together.

One of the genuine pleasures of the small screen returns, better than ever.
