Billions



Watched the first two series and must have missed 3. I started watching that last night so as not to have to miss out on the plot development. It’s a 3.5 star from me. Some episodes nowt happens. But the good ones are really good. Damien Lewis is excellent. Honourable mention to the soundtrack too.
 
It was good first season, second started well but then you see the same patterns in every episode and realise that it has to come back to the same principles every time. It's heavily reliant on the great acting, though its Maggie Siff who often steals the limelight from the 2 male leads. Some of the stories with the supporting cast are shit.
 
At its best it’s superb...Ice juice episode and the episode where Connery gets undone are prime examples.

will wait till the current series finishes, bloody a Yanks and their mid season breaks ( though this one was Covid influenced)
