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.

Kelly Lawler USA Today Jan 12, 2022
Darkly comedic and full of delicious twists and turns, the series is a juicy melodrama that delights in poking fun at the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Go to Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald Sep 9, 2021
The enduring brilliance of Giamatti and the goodwill that he and the likes of Lewis, Maggie Siff and David Costabile have earned elsewhere give the self-aware melodrama a watchability lacking in other series set in the soulless world of high finance.

No doubt he will start making moves soon, but who has time to wait and see? Time is money, people. "Billions" should know that. Go to Full Review Leah Sydney Showbiz 411 Sep 8, 2021
BILLIONS gleefully begins without missing a conniving step! BILLIONS is addictive, sleek and cunning, one of the best series ever on TV! Go to Full Review James Croot The Post NZ Sep 7, 2021
While perhaps the show's sometimes breathless action, endless twists and frequent table-turning are starting to show signs of wear, Billions still offers one of the most entertaining hours on television. Go to Full Review Dan Jackson Thrillist May 6, 2020
Hopefully, the rage room provided some clarity. They clearly smell blood in the water -- better keep swimming. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Tarzan C @Flappy_Bumcakes Mar 9, 2026 First couple seasons were so strong. Back when the plot was driven by the characters. But ever since Chuck lost us US attorney job, it's just meandering. Alliances and grudges come and go between characters for no apparent reason, just the writers pulling whatever bs in order to hit some punchline or other. It went from a compelling melodrama to a "stuff just sort of happens" show, clearly coasting off the early success. Can't decide if I'm going to finish the series, but I have a hunch I'll be really disappointed if I do. Maybe I'll just read a summary somewhere. See more Regal R @RT96555783 Nov 28, 2024 0/100 - Any show propagating false information gets a BIG 0 for me. I do not tolerate sensationalist behavior from writers, directors, actors, producers, etc. Season 5 Episode 10. That is all. See more Marcus L @RT22580287 Feb 19, 2024 Still a very good show See more Jul 6, 2022 What happened? Season 4 was not great, but at least was watchable. Just couldnt finish this season, it was a disservice to the legacy of the first seasons. See more Jun 27, 2022 The back and forth with Chuck and Axe is getting a bit old. See more Brian F @Perusal May 21, 2022 I understand they had to orchestrate an exit for Axe because the actor was leaving (best actor on the show), but they fell short on the trap. It was like believing that a grandmaster chess player would fall for an intermediate trap. So, that was my big problem with the season. Putting that aside, I loved letting Axe escape at the end. It was like the end of the Firm letting the main character skip town with money to a somewhat happy ending. I wish I could afford to live in Switzerland! See more Read all reviews
