emanon Report post Posted February 2, 2016 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cake Report post Posted February 2, 2016 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emanon Report post Posted February 2, 2016 at the same time feels like they're trying to draw you in with soft porn. I think we're all ok with that. 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cake Report post Posted February 2, 2016 .....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.Agreed ^ It's good enough that I'll keep watching Yeah Carol, us guys don't need too much persuasion to be drawn into that.REALLY??? I'm SOOOO surprised 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" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these shows take a while to really develop compared to others. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TestShoot Report post Posted February 2, 2016 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

abolfaz Report post Posted February 23, 2016 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood996 Report post Posted February 23, 2016 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.

cake Report post Posted March 6, 2016 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" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
