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.

Critics Consensus

Anchored by the performances of Paul Giamatti and Damian Lewis, the third season of Billions continues a convincing fable of greed, power and competition.

It's evolved into such a binge-worthy pulp slugfest, and Season Three had new highs for Damian Lewis, Paul Giamatti, Maggie Siff and MVP David Costabile as the ever-quotable Wags.

It's not the best drama on TV right now, nor the deepest, but it may be unmatched in how confidently and entertainingly it churns through story.

Billions is pure pulp thriller, but in a way that never loses sight of how poisonous all the vipers within it are.

Billions feels like a young show. It's only getting started. Imagine all the new tricks it will learn over the next billion years.

Again, this show continues to impress. The casting is really well done. I find Giamatti to be an over actor, but I still find his character meaningful. Axe is one of the best characters in television. I love how this wraps up the season with some twists and excitement moving forward.

While I enjoy the show a great deal I think it would have been better to make either Axe character or Rhoads character the main arc and have the other as the "villian" one or two of the seasons. Trying to keep these two at each other while the wife Wendy in the middle leads to some over the top ridiculous plots at some points. But still a very good show just after 3 seasons not sure I can finish out the others with the same story arc.

Seasons 1 and 2 are good television with superb acting from the three main characters but Season 3 for me was when it starts to get way too redundant and predictable. Comes off like a lower quality Succession.
