If you have showtime the pilot is available.

 

High finance collision between the US attorney and giant hedge fund owner.

 

Looks like its going to be very good.

I've seen two episodes (of 3) thus far and it looks really promising. If you like House of Cards or Entourage you'll probably like this one.

 

A solid lesbian scene in ep2, finishes with one chick doing a line of blow off the other chicks tits. :icon_thumleft: :downtown:

Son of a bitch lol. I thought I watched episode 2 but I sure don't remember that! I'll have to watch again

It's good but I wouldn't say great.

 

Very manufactured. A soap opera for night time.

 

The kinky stuff with the DA and his wife, plus the guy who is blackmailing the one chic - is an interesting twist and peek into the characters personalities but at the same time feels like they're trying to draw you in with soft porn.

 

For me - House of Cards, Homeland, Nurse Jackie are all more "organic" feeling in the story lines. Those leave me at the end WANTING to see what happens next and almost annoyed that the episode ended. I'd add Sopranos to that list of "organic"

 

Billions is worth watching but not quite as good as the other series.

I think we're all ok with that. :icon_mrgreen:

 

I don't disagree with anything you stated, but i'm also willing to give them a chance to develop the series a bit. Two episodes into the first season, I'm willing to give it a shot and see where it goes.

Yeah Carol, us guys don't need too much persuasion to be drawn into that. As soon as I see the N or BN before a show or movie starts on the premium channels, inside I'm like

Agreed ^ It's good enough that I'll keep watching

REALLY??? I'm SOOOO surprised :icon_mrgreen:

 

I'm not disparaging the soft porn! I'm just saying I like it better when the context is more engaging. The other series I mentioned all have T&A - it's just that rather than seem somewhat gratuitous (like in Billions) it fits so neatly into the story line that it doesn't come across as: "well now let's weave in some tits or kinky stuff or girl on girl action cause we gotta keep em interested"

Definitely know what you mean though. Some of these shows take a while to really develop compared to others.

it is an interesting show with Axe as an anti-hero, you find him charismatic, starting to sound like a love letter to wall st instead of a scathing indictment.

Good show with the right amount of cheese. Enjoyed watching Roades wife take a leak on him to open the series.

It's been kind of disappointing so far based on what I expected from the cast.

 

On the other hand, I've found Vinyl on HBO to be riveting.

I have seen every episode, the show has really developed into story with two very different characters going head to head, two people at the top of their game, so to speak. I think the writing is very good, some episodes you want to root for Axe, in other episodes you want to root for the US attorney.

Billions is getting better. Gonna stay with it.

 

Same reaction to Vinyl. Disappointed initially, but seems to be developing. Certainly not "riveted" but worth seeing if it "matures"

Ive been watching Vinyl... I like it so far.

 

I stopped watching vinyl halfway through the second episode. I switched to Vikings, which has less cocaine but similar hairstyles.

I think Vinyl is great so far. I'm not sure how they can keep the pace up though, it's pretty hectic.
