Unless it falls off hard, Succession by far.
Billions is easier to "get into"...but its more shallow.
Well Succession in going on season 3 and Billions is on season 5/6. Billions first 2-3 seasons were straight fire but its now kind of running out of steam and the tank is getting low. Succession's first two seasons were fire right out the gate as well but now we got to see if they can keep it hot since they're hitting the third year and beyond mark.

Billions first three seasons are on Prime Video for anybody that hasn't peeped it yet

See that's my fear with starting a show, it just drops in quality

Don't get it twisted both shows are fire. Billions is still fire even in season 5 imo. There's some gripes to it like the dialog and the Axe vs Chuck dynamic losing steam but the show is still up there. You need to peep it

Yeah billions falls off big time after season 3. The last season was straight basura. Succession is a much better written show. I didn’t even realize it was a comedy until season 2. Billions got way too cartoony. That limitless episode was a disgrace to the series.

I'm watching Succession, and they have little scenes that show the class differences

Like what Roman does to the maids kid in the first episode
And Shiv making jokes because Gil shook a random dudes hand

But I wanna see a show where they have two points of view, the rich and working class people

To kind of hammer in the differences and how far apart they are
I can recommend a sci fi shows that have the kind of class divide you’re describing (The Expanse and Incorporated especially).

The main story of the Expanse is a conflict between two superpowers (Earth and Mars) and how they have an impact on poor people living in the asteroid belt. Earth corporations basically run the solar system, and Mars is a military power, but they both view people living in the outer planets as essentially disposable. It’s loaded with class warfare, oppression, colonization, politics, revolutionaries. It’s a certified classic show but it’s pretty heavy on sci fi too (some people call it a show for people who don’t like sci fi but that sounds weird to me). It just wrapped it’s 6th season.

Incorporated only ran one season but it’s better than most of what’s on TV nowadays in my opinion. It’s basically about a future where corporations have replaced governments for control of the world. Only certain people born into wealth can ever live comfortably, but most people are living in extreme/violent poverty, and the main characters go back and forth between both worlds so it’s interesting to see their POVs.

Edit: also Snowpiercer on TNT isn’t bad but the acting is corny at times. The world froze over but rich people made a train that can last forever, and a few regular/poor people stowed away. The main story is the tension between those two groups and how it escalates over time.
