Season 1-5 gets my highest rate.
But season 6 RUINED EVRRYTHING!
EVERY THING.

Haven't seen any tv show turns that blank that quick.

I don't understand how this is the only show this season to put a mid season break in it without announcing dates for the future episodes. I mean surely the episodes were shot before they started airing it.

I mean surely the episodes were shot before they started airing it. I'm getting tested to get into work every day, would it really be that hard to test the editors before they came into the studio to edit the show?

What an unsatisfying end to a mid season finale.… Expand

Season 4 was very good but not great like prior seasons. There were some noticeable plausibility issues that hadn't surfaced before. Some plot elements were rushed, like Chuck regaining power/influence as NY AG in the span of one or two eps.Season 4 was very good but not great like prior seasons. There were some noticeable plausibility issues that hadn't surfaced before. Some plot elements were rushed, like Chuck regaining power/influence as NY AG in the span of one or two eps. And the Musketeer-esque dialogue that characterized "Wags" has now spread to Ari Spyros who utilizes Shakespearan lingo more to comedic than dramatic effect. Sometimes the dialogue seems like it's from 1700's euro-military. And our crew continues their banter peppered with pop culture references, mainly from film. One element that I do still like in this show is that bad things still happen to our primary characters, they're not immune from problems, both petty and large, so that helps to "keep it real". The season finale made for a good launching point into next season which has been confirmed, just have to wait another freakin year, ugh.… Expand

This show is a pretty entertaining. It has kept me interested. The characters are interesting, even the "woke" girl with the "they/them" pronouns.

The characters are interesting, even the "woke" girl with the "they/them" pronouns. But this, and the fact the they replaced Axelrod in the later season, is where the show was ruined. But overall it was ruined by the woke agenda. The "they/them" is just one example. But put into action, it shows how ridiculous and mentally deranged it is for someone to go by "they/them" and for people to refer to HER as "they/them". It completely destroys the context and understanding of any subject within a conversation. It is pure moronic and I hate that hollywood is trying to force normalize this. No one in the real world is particiing this because 99% of people hate the marxist-woke agenda. But apart from this, you have a lot of globalist bs shoved down our throats, in a very manipulative and brainwashing manner. ESG is a communist-globalist credit system. It is NOT good for anyone except the global-communists. Coincidentaly (not) this is how they are forceing companies to follow the woke agenda, through ESG. Yeah, it doesn't make sense; ESG and woke have no common context. And it won't make sense. That's how a communist mind works. This show would have been so much better with out the communist agneda.... 1/10 is generous.… Expand

Billions is a show that delivers day in and day out. Just when you think there's nothing left on the palette another truck pulls up and delivery some more.

Just when you think there's nothing left on the palette another truck pulls up and delivery some more. The settings is complex but not hard to follow. The characters are visceral, eclectic, deep, almost relate-able but just out of reach for the common viewer. The writing is superb. Billions, at least for myself, is an addictive commodity that day-trades the hell out of my interests, playing every angle and waging every bet strategically so that when I think one plot development is going to tie everything up to my satisfaction things turn and up comes another important cog to a significant wheel. But, unlike many shows that will add in plot swings to attempt to keep the viewer at arms-length of what they've been waiting for all-along, Billions organically hedges my expectations because this isn't about a straight forward cat and mouse game of law vs. lawless, it's what I fully expect in the real world when self-interest gets in the way of what should be and it's effing amazing. Billions almost never leaves me feeling like I've wasted some time with an episode. Even in the slower, seemingly-insignificant moments the show is making viable efforts to keep me aware of who these people are and why I should care about them. I'm very invested in the show and I love how things have developed over the show's first few seasons. Granted, it can't go on forever but I fully expect Showtime to make a calculated effort to keep the drama and mental suspense going as long as it possibly can before recognizing this show's proper end. Whether that's with a 5th, a 6th, or 7th season is inconsequential - it's going to end and I fully expect to be fulfilled by whatever finality this show offers because I care about it entirely, but I don't feel like I dwell on it for days and that's an experience to have in a show with this much draw. I don't want to wear Billions on my sleeve I just want to appreciate it and laugh as I think about how there are people like this that are real and have gone through or are going through similar experiences.… Expand

Woke kills all. Killed another good show. Please get eaten by sharks instead of jumping them.
