Billions - Série 1

I am very satisfied with the series after Season 1. The theme is clear: the world of big finance filled with illegal practices, which has become a sore spot for a lot of Americans after the not-so-distant recession. The story is built around a duel between a powerful financial tycoon and the State’s Attorney. The information that gradually floats to the surface affects the often-fanatical behavior of the two protagonists. I have to praise the great cast, atmosphere, writing and soundtrack. Although there were weaker moments here and there, it worked great as a whole and I'm already looking forward to the next season. (08.04.2018)

Perfect focus and demystification of good and evil. An exceptionally accurate recreation and dissection of the American political-legal-judicial apparatus, the philosophy and pseudo-mission of these institutions, and the nastiness and sassiness with which they go after the scalps of people who have often done nothing more than be successful, because if it's not about money on their part, it's about influence and power at the very least. On the other hand, a fascinating cross-section of stockbrokers and primarily a detailed portrait of a billionaire and all that goes with it. That is, his thoughts, problems, lapses and the fact that every billionaire didn't just "make" money, but had to do something dirty, or at least on the edge, one or more times. A blurring of the difference between these two worlds in a perfect psychological and emotional war – that's what at least the first season of Billions offers. The only weakness I perceive is that there are so many names and the plot moves forward so fast that the viewer tends to get lost in it, especially in the beginning. But the main characters are perfect, the creators took their time and care with them. Hands down, a first class series. (25.04.2020)
