The latest episode was the best so far in the season, yeah there are plot and character inconsistencies along with all the cringe old movie/music references that the writers for some reason want to desperately sneak into each conversation; but, there were times when it reminded me of the Billions of old, back when Axe was there. Taylor's speech with dollar bill and mafee(even though it was out of character) and chuck's speech in front of the senate, and Prince still getting the better of him. As good as it was to see chuck lose it you still got to see his brilliance and that made it even better. The season so far has been below standard, obviously, but I still held up hope and this episode gave out some hints that billions is still capable of being the billions we remember. It wasn't perfect and doesn't make up for the mediocre post-Axe season so far but it was a good reminder.
I just feel like fans, myself included, are so crushed Damian Lewis had to leave and took his aura with him and we now over analyse every bit of the show because we can't imagine it going on without him, successfully.
I still don't like who chuck has become because it really annoys me, as much as I loved that senate speech. It now just feels like he has a personal vendetta against anyone with money and wants to prosecute them even if no crimes have been committed and they had good intentions. Just waging a personal feud against the rich instead of serving the people. I think it was said at some point in the show that chuck doesn't want money and influence, he just wants to specifically lord over the few people who have it.
I don't agree with the one star rating by anthonyneil and equally the 9/10 by vick-b33 but I thought everything they said in their reviews were insightful.
