Billions - Season 2 (Official Thread/Feb 19th)

[OHSNAP!]

I find the show entertaing but the writing while provocative and attention grabbing can sometimes be real cheesy. The way they have the characters constantly reiterating their life philosophy in such a telegraphed and unrealistic way is real annoying. U can find ways to show the audience what drives each particulsr character in a much more subtle way. They gotta do away with all the "I do this because.. or Im like this because..." bs. Also the whole aspect of having a careful guy like Axe keeping his rivals gf in his company and keeping contact with her is stupid. The fact that Giamatti was so passive about her stubborness in working for Axe is handled badly too. Id swear she was interested in fukking dude if I was her husband. I do think the androgynous character is interesting and they can use her characters in a lot of different angles

Good points, esp. those philosophies...monologues are FAR away from the real world, lots of times Billions reminds me of an opera/theatre piece

Still feel like this show is Entourage for "adults", but it's not bad so I guess I'm still in.

Massive fan of both, even if Entourage got weak towards the end.
So far series one of Billions was stronger btw.

Yeah I agree with you. I'm only on Chuck's "side" because the logical part of my brain makes me lol

That and I'm not a fan of how clearly the writers are in awe of Bobby and treat him like a genius when he's just an arrogant criminal.

And his 2nd in Command is the worst character since Johnny Drama.

Man I really am hate watching this show ain't I

Hopefully we see more of Condola and Bobby's secretary at least.

Yeah, she's nice.

 

[YourMumsRoom]

Just gotta say Condola Rashad is sexy as fukk

Obviously gets the eyes from her mama.

Lots weird random references this episode. In one scene they were making forced references to "Blade Runner" for no particular reason. The astronaut candidate of course had to keep quoting Star Trek, and I think there were more that I can't remember at the moment.

Axe hit chuck with that NFL lost bid damages you saw chuck's face?!

That WIRE line had me . It makes sense, though. Koppleman, one of the writers, is a HUGE WIRE Fan.
