Your broad loves me.....
I def didnt see that shyt coming. Axe not being there isnt going to hurt the show. In fact I think this switch just gave it 2 more seasons. Kinda like a soft reboot.

This would be a perfect end to the series but Showtime (unlike HBO) never knows when to end a great show and just waters down the series dragging it on for years with lackluster writing.
They did it with Dexter and Shameless. Billions looks like it's heading that way

I didn't mind it but the more I think about it? Yeah it would have been a really potent ending. Imagine the show was done with Axe "losing" but essentially facing no consequences, leaving everyone behind even his friends and ppl he says he cares about. You got Chuck standing there with an emepty victory and Prince takes over but nothing changes. Only winner is the ones holding the money.

This love story in Season 6 wouldve been cringe as fukk. Meanwhile, Axe aint even seen his kids since he got divorced lol. I hope I'm wrong but this shyt playing out like Homeland with whole seasons missing Damien Lewis. And now one of these other motherfukkers bout to be the main character. Ion know how many more seasons this shyt gon have but I prolly got bout 1 mo in me. I def aint stickin around as long as I did Homeland.

I didn't expect that specific ending but I knew Axe was going to take an L against Prince
I'm glad they did not go through with that bullshyt love story
Billions now needs to end soon

His wife died recently of breast cancer.
Damian Lewis confirms he is leaving Billions following five seasons | Daily Mail Online
Didn’t know that. His wife is also Aunt Polly from Peaky Blinders
No- They already have season 6 under wraps, so I’m predicting they’ll either do a spin off or end the show at season 7
Billions' Condola Rashad Weighs In on Axe's Exit ('We Had to Do Something Big'), Previews a Twistier Season 6
They admitted the show was becoming boring and needed changes anyway
“But that wasn’t meant to be. Damian Lewis, who had played the enigmatic billionaire for five hit seasons, didn’t renew his contract because he felt like there was nothing else to mine creatively. “We know who he is,” Lewis recently told the New York Times.
Condola Rashad, who plays attorney Kate Sacker on the Showtime drama, excitedly waited to see how viewers would respond to the show’s new direction with Axe out and Mike Prince (played by series regular Corey Stoll) in. She says Lewis’ exit is just what the financial drama needed to shake things up and keep fans on their toes.
We had to do something big because we lost so much momentum while on break during the pandemic,” Rashad tells TVLine. “What was supposed to be a two-week hiatus lasted a year and a half, and viewers were growing bored. We had to do something no one was expecting.”
But will Stoll’s Mike Prince be able to command the screen the way Axe did? He dazzled as Axe’s enemy, but will he do the same with Chuck, whom he betrayed in order to buy Axe Capital at half price? Rashad promises the series’ new twists and turns will be worth the wait. (Billions returns for Season 6 on Sunday, Jan. 23.)”
