Billions is a bold, contemporary drama that melds the worlds of ultra-wealth, influence and corruption as personified in two highly ambitious opposing figures: hard-charging, blue-blooded, politically connected U.S. Attorney Chuck Rhoades (Giamatti) and brilliant, calculating, blue-collar billionaire hedge fund king, Bobby "Axe" Axelrod (Lewis). Set amongst the Machiavellian machinations of New York City power politics and finance, Billions weaves a complex, intricate narrative featuring a high-stakes game of predator-versus-prey. Maggie Siff, Malin Akerman, Toby Leonard Moore, David Costabile and Condola Rashad also star. The pilot was directed by acclaimed director Neil Burger (The Illusionist, Divergent), who also serves as an executive producer.

This and breaking bad are my absolute favorites. Very intelligent writing with complex characters which seem to be missing in most other shows or movies

[@robertc2204]

Yes mine too!!!!

[@yvettet7398]

Suits is also part of this brilliancy

[@lorddenselmichel]

THE BEST, MOST INTELLIGENT WRITING AND SCREENPLAY IN A SERIES EVER. BY FAR THE BEST NEW SHOW OF 2016. HYPED FOR THE SECOND SERIES!!

[@godbluffvdgg]

It IS the writing...I have seen every decent series ever...The writing in Billions surpasses amazingly well written series like, Mad Men or Black Sails... Breaking Bad is pathetic comparatively. They avoid the Mundane. After watching every show in the series, I kept waiting for a falter, a worn cliche, an obvious usual direction. They wrote it to not be dumbed down. You don't feel pandered to. The women are all amazing too, which really endears the show to you...Nothing sexier than a smart and beautiful woman.

[@hybby]

+godbluffvdgg - I have to agree. They wrote the women incredibly well. Even though Lara is slightly trophy wife-ish, you feel a blazing hot intelligence behind the beauty (particularly noting the manuscript episode).

[@ladyphoenix9752]

Billions is MY FAV show.! The script is so well-written it feels like a boxing match at times

[@timtheenchanter989]

:(

[@SGS477]

And sadly they made it a Woke shitshow.

[@ponder2006]

Bizarrely, this is probably one of the smartest brilliant series on TV since the Wire...and that is saying something...

[@JordansTake35]

And then, 5 years later.. It fell off a fucking cliff

[@castlemappe22]

The last season was a mess

[@libertyfirst4083]

I love, love, love this show. Hesitated to start watching since I'd worked on Wall Street very, very briefly back in the day. I worked in a role that enabled me to observe. What struck me then -- and what is expressed so well by the characters in "Billions" -- is just how desperate they all seem. Axe, Rhodes, Prince, Taylor, Wags...all desperate and all seemingly unaware that they are as they wreak havoc. That said, Damian Lewis's portrayal of Axe, his acting is just mesmerizing. All the actors are really beyond description...

[@hybby]

Such a fantastic show. I'm also incredibly choosy about what I watch, and this is 1 show that I've chosen to watch. I love Axe's words whenever someone says, "I didn't have a choice". His reply? "You always have a choice"

[@theSWI4TRandoms]

"What are you're choices when someone has a gun to your Head?" "You take the gun. Or pull out a bigger one. Or call out their bluff. Or any of the 146 other things." Wiser words were never said. Guess the Character this belongs to.

[@MrNelsinho1]

@@theSWI4TRandoms Harvey specter

[@kingpin6989]

The thing is though, Bobby and Chuck AREN'T polar opposites. They have way more in common with each other than either would be willing to admit.

[@binahchokmah]

The dialogue is the best in this show , I love it so much. " Go and get your fucking shine box". Straight outta Goodfellas and they used it well. A+

[@STEELMagazine]

Amazing show/series!!!!

[@fouziakhan3303]

Awesome story and dialogues. Love the show.

[@Sonturist]

This show is fantastic

[@castlemappe22]

It was. Now it sucks

[@1994g0]

Axelrod does not capture Stevie`s frumpy look.But he does capture his intensity & brilliance.Stevie was the greatest trader ever.

[@marsprosper6608]

This series is amazing please can it be there for the rest of my life ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jayesh381]

[@Pinkranger87]

I need to get show tome and catch up on this show

[@20042020]

Love it. Not as much as Suits... but still love.

[@haleme9244]

Finny Lynx Other way round for me, but I've always found them to be very different shows.

[@anthonycampos8057]

Everytime i see Maggie on this show, I keep expecting Jax Teller to pop up.

[@aleksandars9254]

Did anyone notice very often the color grading profiles crash... Like 1 scene can have 2 different grades... How did that happen?

[@readbunny495]

love the show +1 for showtime

[@xuhuang9020]

I'll subscribe you if you tell me the name of the background music between 2:29 to 3:00.

[@paultoy9611]

This was instantly one of my favorite shows.Not only that it's got great songs woven into each episode.It's only been season 3's end for a few months and I'm already binging on the whole series.So much to pay attention to and the character development.This year I really enjoyed the continued character revelation of Taylor Mason.I laugh at the Spok/Borg like portrayal of her character and was really happy about the love she found with Oscar Longstraat in the Echo and the Bunnymen moment.Ultimately I would love to see Axe and Chuck become incredible friends who aggregate their "super" powers to help the world through the USA which other than God ordained national Israel in their day is the greatest nation that's ever existed.

2016 I became a serious millionaire! Ain’t no chance of me becoming a billionaire!!!!

[@angela123altintas8]

Fassbender, Grey, Turner, Rich???

[@anonymousonlineuser6543]

Axelrod's suits have universally bad (too low) collars that sit way down and gap away from the shirt-collar. The suits are also too fashiony- tight and lapels are too narrow. First button is way too high which looks like any RTW suit and makes the wearer look like a valet rather than a billionaire. The suits look like a sophomoric idea of power suit rather than an actual bespoke garment.

What keyboard is sitting on the office desks with the two rows of color fkeys?!?!
