Billions (2016–2023)
4/10
Season 4 Episode 4 is way too unbelievable
28 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I guess the writers thought they could write a convincing speech for Chuck Rhodes coming out as a submissive but the show suddenly becomes insane. People in the audience feel empathy for a guy who's into BDSM. It's awful. They do it as if it's "I gamble too much" and everyone is moved by his honesty and his confession. Only, he's telling them, "I like kinky sex and I'm submissive." Can you imagine ANY politician saying this and not absolutely wrecking they're career? Or without it being in CNN 24/7 as they explore the gritty world of BDSM? It's as if they think of they write a crappy heartfelt confession, everyone will welcome him. Secondly he does it w/o discussing it w Wendy who is rightfully furious. How can she be a therapist of everyone is seeing her in this sexualised way? But, no worries, Wendy gets over it and after 2 episodes no one ever mentions it again.

I'm out. I'm done. I don't understand how people just loved this episode. It's the worst in the entire run of the show, the least backed up by the reality of the world we live in. Just so disappointing. I quit after that.
