To be honest, how many men wouldn't be swayed by a pile of cash and 3 porn starts :D

It could be an interesting end to the season for Wendy too as I can't remember her showing much regret for things she had done.

This is still the best thing on TV. So well done and so well written.

Very intrigued by the Chuck jr/sr wire tap thing. I'm hoping it's a trap or there is more to it than meets the eye.

Potentially, could we see Chuck throw his dad under the bus again?

Or maybe Chuck will have to use what he has got from the treasury secutary to cancel out what the sdny have on him.

Agree, that had potential to be poorly dealt with but ended up been great. Another strong episode, thought it was quite a good metaphor for the whole mason vs axe cap battle. The twist at the end was very good as well :)

Omg that change in look from Taylor at the last moment... amazing.

I normally think the writing is brilliant on this, but the whole train thing in the last episode seemed a little contrived/silly!

I think this risks descending into a fairly formulaic approach now, with each of the four main players laying traps for each other and then the show celebrating how clever it is that while the audience thought that one thing was going to happen, shock horror - they were wrong.

How good was that last episode. Billions really hasn't lost any momentum, if anything its got better season on season. The fact that Chuck, Bobby and Mason all believe they have the upper hand makes next season look mouthwatering. Such a shame its so far away.

as someone above said, i hope this doesn't start getting formulaic. though thankfully, it does get funnier with each series. won't stop me watching it though as it's easily the 2nd best prog on the tellybox (just behind the peerless Gomorra).

What a finish, really cant wait for the next season!
Wonder how the dynamics will work with them all there now!

This is the one and only show that i've gone back to the beginning to rewatch.
