Review of Billions

Billions (2016–2023)
3/10
Poor, but
23 August 2023
It's not really fair to rate this show since I only started watching it in Season 5. But most of the character s in 5 are from prior seasons so I think I got the idea, and what I didn't like about the series is probably true for the parts I missed.

First and foremost, almost everyone speaks exactly the same, at the same speed, using the same arcane references, and for similar lengths of time. If you read the script you could not tell one from the other . In real life, people are not like that!

It's mostly talking heads with an occasional jaunt. That gets pretty dull.

The acting is really poor. Really poor. Maybe after 5 seasons they are simply tired. I don't know. Or maybe saying the same lines so quickly from one head to another prohibits better acting.
