Billions

[Rudeboyelvis]

I really enjoy this show, but the way these b-plot story lines get tied up sooo neatly within an episode or two is very Entourage-like.

David Costabile's (The Wire, Breaking Bad, etc.) character is another shortfall in my opinion. He is an Emmy-deserving supporting actor who's character is written as drunken buffoon who masquerades as the COO of a multi-billion dollar hedge fund firm. The premise is so thin and unbelievable that it gets annoying to watch him.

On the positive side, Damian Lewis as expected is spot on week in and week out, as is Maggie Siff , and a little shocked that Dan Soder (who plays Maffee - one of the employees, and by trade is a stand up comic / radio guy) is so good. Paul Giamatti should win the Emmy for Best Actor in a Drama series - perfection.

Definitely worth checking out for sure.
