What do you think? Do you like the Billions TV show? Do you think it should be renewed for a second season or cancelled instead?
This show is brilliant. A mixture of “Suites”, “Dallas” and “Revenge” all in one. Put together with a sophisticated modern rough edge.
I pray that viewership grows and this series continues to be renewed for years to come
I notice that all the white men on the show have very conservative short hairstyles. Is there a policy or standard for how they can wear their hair? If
not, it seems odd that none of them – not one – has hair long enough to go over
the collar or over the ears. The light-skinned black man has a giant afro, certainly not appropriate for an office, and certainly not in keeping with the hairstyles of the white characters. Is he being held to a different standard?
RENEW PLEASE
love the show
Interesting show, well written, and acted with a slightly less than captivating level of intrigue.To me the pace in the last couple episodes was stilted or plodding so I wish it would pick up a bit. I hope this show succeeds, it has the right ingredients
I LOVE this Show!!! It’s right up there with Suits….maybe a little bit better actually. Paul Giamatti is the BOMB!
BEST SHOW EVER!!!!!
Billions was great actually awesome, I fell in love with the show the moment watched it. I love the story line and all the actors did a good job playing there rolls.. Job well done! I hope to see more.
Story doesn’t make sense. Clearly Paul Giamatti’s character has know Axe through his wife for over a decade. Ep 1 he is presented with weak evidence of insider trading and says not enough to go on. The show proceeds quickly to an obsession to stop at nothing to get this guy on something. Why now? If he wanted this guy so so bad, why wait all those years to manufacture evidence. By 6th episode it’s clear to anyone that knows a little bit about the law that “Chuck” would ruin his career and be disbarred if he took the case… Read more »
What a great show. Hoping for a second season.
Love the show. definitely renew series!!
When will there be season 2?
I thought “Wall Street” with Michael Douglas and Charlie Sheen was outstanding and would never be topped but Billions is well on the way to doing just that. It is a gripping series which has forced me do research to get a handle on some of the terms (which is very cool) just to follow the story completely. I even started searching to see if the story was derived from a book, just so I could get even more engrossed! I certainly hope it becomes a long running series. Kudos to the writers, cast and crew for an outstanding job!
