Wealth, influence and corruption collide in this drama set in New York. Shrewd U.S. attorney Chuck Rhoades is embroiled in a high-stakes game of predator vs. prey with Bobby Axelrod, an ambitious hedge-fund king. To date, Rhoades has never lost an insider trading case -- he's 81-0 -- but when criminal evidence turns up against Axelrod, he proceeds cautiously in building the case against Axelrod, who employs Rhoades' wife, psychiatrist Wendy, as a performance coach for his company. Wendy, who has been in her position longer than Chuck has been in his, refuses to give up her career for her husband's legal crusade against Axelrod. Both men use their intelligence, power and influence to outmaneuver the other in this battle over billions. The high-profile cast is led by Emmy winner Paul Giamatti ("John Adams") as Chuck Rhoades.

What little has changed isn't significant so much as superficial. Billions keeps its macho energy alive.. Go to Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 05/09/2018
Damian Lewis and Paul Giamatti were sturdy as ever, but the Showtime series featured tighter storylines and better characters in its second season. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico New York Magazine/Vulture 05/08/2018
4/5
It essentially feels like a continuation of last year's narrative, but it contains enough hints that Billions will avoid repetition. The second season is off to a strong start. Go to Full Review Sam Schube The Ringer 05/07/2018
In its second season, the show has adopted that ethos of its characters, taking everything that made it appealing in Season 1 - the egos, the plot twists, the vests - and turning up the volume. Go to Full Review James Croot The Post NZ 06/14/2017
Fast-paced, fabulously shot and a showcase for some impressive acting, judging by this opening episode, the second season of Billions has plenty to intrigue and enthrall. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

J @UtahRondo Nov 27 This show continues to be really well done. The rivalry is great and the writing is top notch. I think Axelrod carries the show in a lot of ways, but there are some other quality characters too. Taylor is an interesting character, I hope they don't lean too much into the PC of it all...that tends to ruin shows.

See more Regal R 10/07/2024 60/100 - right off that bad they do some weird stuff. See more Marcus L 02/19/2024 Great show. Good season See more Husky S 02/18/2023 terrible, horrible. Wendy Rhoades saved the season See more Christopher R 08/08/2022 I've always wanted to be rich, but this really makes me want to make it big and experience the rich lifestyle.
