Critic Reviews:
- “Still I'll watch, mesmerized by the question of how far this show will go, and how overcooked the acting will be, and how silly the sexual subplots will get. How bad will it be this season? I can't wait to find out.” – Boston Globe
- “It's all about forward momentum, keeping you leaning forward from one scene into the next to see how it all adds up. And it works.” – New York Observer
- *"
Fast-paced, fabulously shot and a showcase for some impressive acting,
judging by this opening episode, the second season of Billions has plenty to
intrigue and enthrall."* -
