Title:  Billions

 

Review: after several lackluster seasons following the departure of Lewis and the loss of the amazing Bobby Axe character, the show rebounded for magnificent finale with Lewis’ return and his subsequent uneasy alliance between he and US Attorney, Giamatti, to fight the evil empire that was Stoll. Snappiest dialog on serial TV and an individual and absolutely huge recurring, ensemble cast for the ages. Constable steals every scene he is in as the dandy Daddy Wags and DeMunn is wonderfully malevolent as the know-it-all patriarch fixer. The writing on the last season was a masterpiece and the finale riveting. A show that makes you like most of the characters despite their astounding level of greed and self-indulgence; just great acting. This show will  be missed
