The series itself came into existence prior to Donald Trump’s ascendance to the presidency, and its piggish swagger felt like almost too much. Now it is the perfect pleasure, encapsulating all that we loathe about the hyper-wealthy and the ruthless calculations they make to consolidate power while allowing us to appreciate the brazen, strutting might and certainty with which these titans operate.

One of the genuine pleasures of the small screen returns, better than ever. Read full review

Whatever else the series has to say about the current times and national mood, Billions works because the focus remains steadfastly on the characters. Occasionally funny and frequently profane, it provides commentary without being heavy-handed, and escapism by gliding through the serialized jockeying for power and advantage against a decadent backdrop of the lifestyles of the .001-percent bracket.

Season four of Billions charts a middle path, shifting around enough of its usual architecture to feel fresh, while also continuing to follow most of its original characters and stories. ... It’s fun to keep the game board mostly the same while swapping all the usual allegiances. It’s especially satisfying to watch Chuck and Bobby scheme together. Read full review

By far the best thing on at the moment. It has its flaws, complexity of plot, then over simplification. How many TV progs, make you feel tension and excitement, watching the story/plot build? Excellent acting, suspension of disbelief works and works well.

Excellent first episode... the chuck storyling reminds me a bit of the Ocean's 11 set-up - you don't know how it will all play out at the outset, but you play along, and the genius of the storytelling is revealed at episode's end...

Some plot elements were rushed, like Chuck regaining power/influence as NY AG in the span of one or two eps. And the Musketeer-esque dialogue that characterized "Wags" has now spread to Ari Spyros who utilizes Shakespearan lingo more to comedic than dramatic effect. Sometimes the dialogue seems like it's from 1700's euro-military. And our crew continues their banter peppered with pop culture references, mainly from film. One element that I do still like in this show is that bad things still happen to our primary characters, they're not immune from problems, both petty and large, so that helps to "keep it real". The season finale made for a good launching point into next season which has been confirmed, just have to wait another freakin year, ugh.… Expand

Not sure I understand the critics reviews. I personally thought season 1-3 was some of the best tv I have ever seen, I love this show. To me season 4 definitely fell off a little. Don’t get me wrong, it was still good, just not as good as the first 3 seasons.

The first season was OK, but this show has succumbed to “series preservation syndrome”, in which the writers decide to write not to create a compelling story arc, but to create a rationale for yet another season.
