Billions has been a great show for a long time, but it was in need of a refresh - there was only so many times that Axe and Chuck could go toe-to-toe.
What was at first a difficult transition is starting to bed down nicely. I like that the writers has have given Sacker a new lease of life and that they've brought in a new lawyer. Sacker's discomfort at 'losing' for the first time in her life was fun.
Gradually I'm warming to Scooter as well. At first he was just obnoxious and annoying but we are starting to see his humanity. The moment he and Wags shared listening to Harry Chapin was touching, and his relationship with his Nephew is further illuminating.
And finally Prince is starting to get some appeal. The whole holier than though moral superiority play was just getting annoying, but now there are hints of a darker sub-plot with several references to "after". I feel like an almighty "reveal" of Prince's dark and dastardly ulterior motives will be coming at some point.
Only hope Chuck sees it coming (fingers crossed)!
P. S. Reason i didn't give this an 8 was several of the plot lines were a bit silly.
