Billions: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2024)

Audience Reviews

Alice M This show is BAD. I do not understand the positive reviews. The dialogue is amazingly awful, which might be okay if it was a bit tongue in cheek, but it's just cringe. Like whole scenes of two characters speaking in parallel allegories, which could be funny, except we're meant to take it seriously? And really uninspired sexual innuendo and insults, which you kind of feel the show is getting off on (it's certainly no Succession). No genuine psychological insight, 'cause psychiatry's a magic fix apparently, and even more because there's nothing at all real about any of these characters - they have the psychological depth of the kind of 'adult' character I would have conceived of as a teenager; ludicrous coincidences; a dizzying array of characters; whole storylines set up that are very easily resolved and disposed of, leaving you questioning what the point was. So many terrible lines, but one sticking with me right now involves the DA saying to his psychiatrist wife - who is, naturally, working for his nemesis - 'You're talented and you're beautiful. I'm sure you'll land on your feet.' Lol like what a bizarre credential beauty is for a psychiatrist. A stupid show that thinks it's smart.

Suits but more intelligence Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Gerry S Tremenda serie, personajes divertidos y contrastantes. Una muestra del poder detrás del dinero y el mercado bursatil. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/24 Full Review Simon L Pure American cornball sentiment, bullsh*t philosophy and unbelievable characters. Especially the "artist'! What a miscasting! Looks like a high school wrestling coach. And how deep is the bullsh*t with Wendy!! She observes, she diagnoses, she immediately fixes. Investor conflicts? Ask Wendy? Artist's block? Ask Wendy. Want more gobbledygook? Ask Wendy. Only Americans could fall for this mix of obscene greed and cheesy nostalgic "Yonkers born-and-bred" local boy gives back rubbish. Main actor is English. A shame the whole production isn't. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/02/24 Full Review Some Guy F Every character in this show that has more than two lines of dialogue is essentially the same person. The writers do not know how to write anything except a pompous person who thinks they're the greatest and has to constantly prove it and make tons of references to show how clever they are. If it was just one character, it would work, especially if it was Paul Giamatti as he pulls off that insufferable type of person very well. The problem is you have every single character doing this stuff, including Dan Soder who is a stoner comedian, he's not a pompous windbag. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/05/23 Full Review Ben R What a great show, we are hooked - binge season 2 asap.
