Season: 5 Date: Sun Sep 05, 2021 First couple of seasons were GREAT. All coarse wolf of wall st types vs egomaniac lawyers/feds. Last couple of seasons its been chasing its own tail a wee bit. Brody from Homeland, Jax missus from Sons of Anarchy and, most egregiously, Stan and his girlfriend, both from " The Americans". Hope they have a scene together, just to shatter the mental illusionary delusional rubric of inter-show casting. The best part is I dont need to look at poor people and hear about their trifling shitty humanity. It's pure escapism into the rarefied realms of 7 million-dollars-a-day attila the stockbroker sorts

Season: 5 Date: Sun Sep 05, 2021 That being, tomorrow. It's kind of suffered over the last couple of seasons, dropped the ball a bit and been usurped in the Bastard Stakes by "Succession". I'd say the reason is the dialogue is too Sorkiny-samey where everyone is an impossibly glib font of pop culture references and overbearing self-assuredness.

OMFG. New Billions episode has incorporated RONA into the narrative. Masks, elite vaccing, quarantine, WFH. FUCK THAT SHIT. I tune in to these bullshit narratives to GET AWAY from the horrifying reality of year after year of life with The Fucking Wuhan Plague. I think this is the first time I have seen RONA covered in a telly drama and I CAN'T SAY I LIKE IT. Fucking masks. Japan will be using these cunting things fOREVER. ps this show has gone FULL "Newsroom" SORKIN. Every character with the exact same smug pop-culturally omniscient brand of glib wherewithall. GTFO.

Finally something of non-circumlocuitous consequence happened in this show; {Spoiler} Axe did a fucken runner to Switzerland! Fuck yeah! Then the season ends. Oh FFS. Turns out due to Rona we were only halfway through season 5. Season 6: Sun Jan 23, 2022If I'm {Spoiler} exiled to Switzerland with a couple of billions pocket money that the baddie left me when he took over my company, I'm doing fuck-all. Bugger getting back into that "big dick energy" hostile takeover corporate world. Just take it easy and enjoy my $$$. Swiss chalet. HUGE speakers. LP's shipped in. Fuuuuck yeaahhhhhhh

Oh shit this has rolled around again. EP 1, I'm expecting opulent opening montage of Axe sitting brooding in utterly, utterly gorgeous Swiss living room, snow-covered alps right outside his window.
Then maybe Metallica playing as he ski's around his alps looking very, very cross indeed
Then drinking in the dark in living room as Metallica rolls on.
Then thats over after 30 seconds as he's back on Zoom conference call planning his revenge ffs

Renewed for Season 7. Still following these rich arseholes. This episode was mental where they detailed the cost of what each rich wanker was wearing: Just did my own detailed analysis Plain T-shirt (ebay): $3 Shorts (Amazon): $15 Wristwatch ($1 Dollar Shop): $1 Jandals ($1 Dollar Shop): $1 Total: $20. Pathetic.

LOL this ol tail chaser is back in business. I think theyre taking the piss with the sorkinisms now. "Oh so people make fun of our show for ladling the cultural references on too thick? Try this on for size cuntz". Then they absolutely go to town for 10 minutes. "Like Lebron in the 3rd quarter of the 2013 semis" "Like Sugar Ray in Round 14 versus Spinks baby" "Like Angus on the B-side of High Voltage"On and on and on. Still, at least Axe is back. Plus episode 2 his pommyland castle was

It's not easy keeping my cultural references up to speed when I've barely ventured outside my North Korea With Borders Of The Mind cocoon in 30 years....

Only 2 eps left. After years of shitting the bed, this thing has finally picked up.
Although I think I read that ratings now are a quarter of what they were in season 1.

{Spoiler} Great ending. Right from the opening scene they let us know Prince was fucked which allowed we the audience to just sit back and enjoy the ride. No mention though of the thousands of hidden cameras from the Mike Prince era which might still be in place. #spinoff
