Is Bobby Axelrod on “Billions” too cocky for his own good? We feel like if we were to ask that question now to Wendy Rhoades, we think we would know the answer a thousand times over: Yes, yes, and then yes once more. Basically, at the end of this past episode there was a chance […]
Chuck Rhoades is a man who is incredibly great at his job, and as a result of that, he’s also somewhat of a realist. He understands that the longer that he goes without arresting Bobby Axelrod, the harder it is to charge him with a significant crime. This is what made Sunday night’s new episode […]
Tonight on Showtime’s “Billions,” we saw at least one opportunity for Damian Lewis’ character of Bobby Axelrod to crawl away from Chuck Rhoades and his investigation with some minor scrapes. He could have relented to a certain extent and avoided jail time. However, if there is one thing that we have come to know about […]
At some point during the first season of “Billions” on Showtime, you had to know that this was coming: The meeting between Chuck Rhoades and Bobby Axelrod in the same room. Could this be coming on next week’s new episode? It’s something that we at least have to think of as a possibility, based on […]
Through five episodes of Showtime’s “Billions,” we’ve started to learn a few separate things about Chuck Rhoades, starting with the simple fact that this is a man who is rather brilliant at his job of catching Wall Street kingpins. However, what happens when someone he cares about is tied to one of these said kingpins? That’s […]
Is Bobby Axelrod on Showtime’s “Billions” really one of the greatest rock performers of all time? Hardly; he’s not even a musician. Yet, at the same time this is a guy who clearly fancies himself one, and holds on preciously to the belief that he can do almost everything. As a matter of fact, this […]
While “Billions” is a show that has introduced many a fascinating tangent (we would be rather satisfied if almost every episode were just about Maggie Siff’s character of Wendy), the core of the show can still be resolved with one simple question: Is it possible that we could eventually see Chuck Rhoades take down Bobby […]
Is Showtime already starting to get viewers fully aboard “Billions” in almost record time? This is what some of the latest numbers for the series are beginning to indicate. To us, it was no shock at all that the live ratings from episode 1 to 2 increased, from 940,000 to around 950,000. The pilot episode […]
“Billions” is starting to come together, and as we move closer and closer to the home stretch of the season, we imagine that Chuck is going to start to feel more and more like he’s making progress … and Axe is going to start to sweat. He’s been able to remain virtually unscathed by his […]
Three episodes in, is Showtime’s “Billions” started to really find its footing? It was very much a good show through its first two episodes, but it was still having a tricky time figuring out what sort of show it wanted to be. Maybe it is us still getting used to the show, or maybe it […]
