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

[daemonova]

I’ve been trying to watch Succession for the past 2 years- watched the first 2 eps of season 1; told myself I would go back and never did. Does nothing for me and I’m not engaged.

The first four episodes of succession are rough, I won't lie.

Excuse you sir - Blasphemy.

No this is not the series finale - they could squeeze out another 2-3 seasons off the volatility of events within tech and finance from the past year or so. Including the Gamestock short. Billions is not going anywhere any time soon.

I get that showtome doesnt hsve another "hit" show...but they cant keep this train wreck going. They ran out of references. This season has been shyt . Season 4 has been terrible too...im still gonna watch tho

It helps if you look at the first couple of episodes as a comedy without a laugh track.

No spoilers, but episode 4 is when they introduce something that they call the "Death Pit", which becomes the main threat for the series.

The finale was good. No spoilers. For some reason it gave me Mass Effect vibes and I'm not sure why. Maybe it was the music.

Edit: Weird comparison, but I've been drinking.

New season starts January 23rd.

Makes sense
His wife died so he needs to grieve

Damn, sorry to see Damian Lewis leave. His character was amazing.

Isn't it true that the seasons were filmed back to back?
If so, I don't buy that he's completely gone.

NYT interview
Damian Lewis Discusses the Future of ‘Billions’
While the character’s final scene was somewhat open-ended, with Axe (as he is most commonly known) being welcomed by the Swiss authorities after fleeing America, Lewis confirmed in a recent video interview that he was leaving the show.

 

[Kornball The Conqueror]

They are filming the end of season 5 and 6 back to back. I guess Corey Stoll the new axe.
