At a time when big business and the uber-wealthy are increasingly under public scrutiny, it is no wonder that this show got commissioned. However, its creators took the simple zeitgeist and cleverly wove it into a fascinating series that often saw you gunning for the “dirty” billionaires while questioning the motives of those people purporting to uphold the law. Revolving around a game of cat and mouse between billionaire hedge fund manager Bobby “Axe” Axelrod (Damian Lewis) and US Attorney Charles “Chuck” Rhoades (Paul Giamatti), Billions was a pleasing mix of politics, power and high production values that oozed quality drama from every pore.
