BILLIONS
(SEASON 6) 2 SPUDS (CRAVE)

Billions has just completed its sixth season,
which was its first full season with a new
protagonist character in person of Michael
Prince who bought out Bobby Axelrod for a
cool 2.5 billion and sent Bobby packing off to
distant lands. The antagonist, the Chuck
Rhoades charactor remains.

So the question here is which protagonist
made for a better villain in the series. And in my
mind, there is no doubt that the Damian Lewis
portrayal of the totally messed up but brilliant
Bobby Axelrod wins hands down.

This last season was filled with all the skull-
duggery that the writers could dream up, but
the Corey Stoll/Michael Prince character just
seemed to lack the fire and balls-to-the-wall
attitude that Damian Lewis brought to his part.
The Paul Giametti character, Chuck Rhoades has
always been basically a cartoon, that reminded
me of the Wile-e-Coyote character, who was al-
ways trying to trip up the roadrunner but always
failing gloriously in the end.

Billions is several notches above your typical
TV soap opera, mainly because the writing and
acting are so good. But the plotting is 99 and
44/100ths percent pure soap. And maybe that
was the idea in the first place.

All | know after watching this show slip and
slide its way through six seasons, is that up until
the end of season 5 it was great, and after that
it was, well something less. And the degree of
that something less all depends on how much
you loved the first five seasons.
