Billions - Season 5/Part 2 (September 5th/Official Thread)

[humminbird]

OK, I actually think the show has improved a lot since the break.
It's not nearly as "smart" or as "funny" as it thinks it is, but IMO now with the new "rivalry" it's probably about as entertaining as it was in Season 2.

(still nowhere near Succession, though)

Yeah seems like the writers had time to think through the story

I DO like they way they broke the 4th wall a little with the constant movie quotes.
Chuck tried to quote "The Irishman" to his father, and his father didn't know the quote like "I don't have time to sit through 4 hours of that!"

Yeah, they still can't help the Entourage/"wealth porn"-style name dropping.

Episode was great. This is billions at it's best. Yes, we have seen it before but the overlapping criss-cross of fukkery is just entertaining to watch!

 

[Joe Sixpack]

fukkin Bobby

Why doesn’t he leave Prince alone I don’t think Prince even cares about him at all

 

[Roid Jones]

Writing seems better

I think Wendy is right Axe may take an L on this war

 

[DaddyFresh]

Axe a savage for having that painting hung up in his office. The painter gonna be hot af when he finds out.

 

[So-Chi]

They’re back on that pretentious bullshyt with the writing tonight. Episode was boring and terrible. Wow- why did every other line sound like they were penning a dikkensian novel?? The entire show reminded me of my AP Literature class in 10th grade. Watching 15 mins of Chuck cooking eggs. Smh

that's unfortunate
watching now

An ok episode
The egg scene I get what they were going for but so long

Also since we’re actually doing the axe and Wendy thing I think it’s safe to say the show has ran its course

Nah, the Axe and Wendy shyt was always gonna happen. You can see it in season 1. I bet Axe’s whole hate on Paul Giamantis character is bc of Wendy.

And Paul Giamantis characters hate of Axe is bc he knows the tension is there
