I will prob get flamed for this but Billions is actually a pretty darn good show. I find myself rooting for Axe against the US attorney Rhoades because Rhoades is NOT obsessed with doing good, though that’s what he says he is doing, but he is obsessed with - “Rhoades” - and will do anything to further his self interest. Axe is motivated by making money - and winning - yes, self interest - but he doesn’t delude himself like Rhoades - of the two I find Axe to be the more palatable.
The women “behind” the two are fascinating - strong, powerful and they know who the hell they are. And they maybe are the most moral characters in the show. They are immensely loyal.
This is a good show even if you don’t like who produced it.
I guess, flame away.
Correct. Plus Axe has a healthy relationship with his wife. Meanwhile Chuck Rhoades has his wife dress up like a dominatrix and enjoys getting beaten up by her. Oh, and Rhoades very UNETHICALLY looked into his wife's laptop to find private patient info in order to help his investigation.
I have a feeling that the writer's of "Billions" planned the show a certain way but now have to change direction with the election of Trump that they never expected. Therefore a scene where Rhoades is personally fired by an AG with a thick southern drawl.
