Billions

Is this a good show? I just started it 15 minutes ago. 

I like the actors but I'm worried too much of this view 

will have me throwing shit at my tv in anger.

money and power are sick. 

I've never seen it. What kind of shit would you be throwing?

Not really anyone to root for.

The most likable character puts cigarettes out on people.

 

By request, but, still . . .

Stone Ripper is safe so far. 

A sofa pillow can act as a TV brick, Slacker.

The only reason why you might throw stuff at the tv is because you'll might be a little frustrated at the casting. Saying these two actors playing the Axelrod's grew up in the Bronx is a bit of a stretch along with a few other questionable choices.

Wendy Rhodes is the likeable character for me as well, cigarettes and all.....and...the.... leather.....(wink).lol

Axe's three musketeers are also the likable. Wags about to go on a bender?

Whole thing can be a little soap opera'ish, but nothing is perfect. Chess game is getting interesting right now, groundwork has been laid so we'll see what they do with it.

I've got Showtime subscription right now for a few months through iTunes for Homeland and caught up on Ray Donovan. I could've waited and caught Billions on Amazon Prime or Netflix later if need be.

But, I like my Homeland.

 

 

>>>not really anyone to root for...

This.

And yet I watched the whole season.

Could have sworn it was Inwood, but agree in that they don't sound like any of the dozens of people I know who grew up there.. Great show, absolutely love it -can't wait for tonight..

Watched 3 episodes. It's good so far. 

I don't know enough about he regional accents and personalities to be turned off. 

And Wags is funny. 

Neither Inwood or the Bronx but Yonkers.. Catch up episode last night to bring everybody up to speed on the fall out from last season, up until the Yonkers raceway scene and those after which sets up the course of season two..so looking forward to it, love this show.. Wags never disappoints..episode two Is available On Demand btw.
