Anyone here still watching? Last episode in a few days.
I actually like the expansion in scope in principle, but find what we watch underwhelming.
My main gripe is that Chuck and Wendy, while major characters plot-wise, are minor compared to Mike Prince. Even with Axe as the central figure back then, it felt like a Axe-Chuck-Wendy series. Now, it just feels like a Mike Prince series even with the "3" of them versus "him" dynamic. (More people on both sides.) Moreover, I think Corey Stoll is a mediocre actor. Just makes it worse.
I mean, even at its best, Billions was never a top tier series. A lot of it is so-bad-it's-funny/good. Entertaining enough for me to watch 7 seasons worth, tho.
