Everyone who watches Billions:
Yeah, I don't get it. I love finance and movies like wolf of wall street, wall street and big short but this tv show has nothing for me to care about.
No time for average shows when AA shows are fighting for my attention and I'm struggling for time to watch them.

I'm enjoying the show, but that Metallica bit was kind of a misstep. The bit with Hetfield was painful and the girl was just too contrived. Actually there is a lot of contrived stuff. Axe pulling all these shady deals and being untouchable and then Giamatti's dad pulls one shady deal and they have him bang to rights by the end of the day. Hopefully they can reel it in, because the show has a lot going for it, some solid actors, a decent idea, plenty of conflict, some dark humor.
Another thing, for a show about trading, the show seems pretty bare bones on the financial side. I was expecting a little more intrigue and complexity to that side of things.

After 4 episodes I really love the show.

I'm just glad the mole (who was blackmailed) was finally caught, was getting annoying.

They are still focusing on the dominatrix stuff, not exactly sure where they are going with it.
Not liking Lewis too much - i think his second would've actually made a better main. He was amazing as Hardman in Suits.
Giamatti is killing it, though. Nearly the amount of carrying that can make a show alone, like Laurie as House.
It's kind of nice to get BDSM portrayed as somewhat "normal", though.
I still think it's going to come out and sink his political aspirations.

I've got to admit this was a pretty good episode. My opinion of this show keeps rising.

Another good Ep.
Yeah for sure, especially with the club bit. Just when it'll come up who knows.

I've had a crush on her since the first episode of Sons of Anarchy.
Not a huge Golden Shower fan though...
I love it, but they have so many references to Metallica that it starting to feel like they paid for ads on the show.
Paul Giamatti chewing through scenes never gets old.
Yeah the whole bit in Québec City was a bit much although it was REALLY fucking funny for me since I'm in Montréal so we've been hearing about the new Centre Vidéotron (the arena) for yeaaarrssssss.
The way they used Master on the last episode though was really great.

Yeah, there is not one redeemable character. Axe is a total asshole

Figured something was up when he threw up into the drum.

It took some time to grow on me, but I'm really enjoying this show now too.

Both I think.
Looked proper sick, as in terminal sick. Though I'm not sure why him and axe had that chat in their cars last episode.

This show is great, hopefully it won't go the same rout a big majority of Showtimes series go, as in a mediocre season 2 or just not as great as the first.

I really disliked the last episode.
