Love Bryan Cranston and his delivery in this show is downright eerie, but not in the obvious way. His justifications and machinations are understandable and scary.

It actually reminds me of "Breaking Bad". Guy wants to do the right thing (protect his son), but ends up breaking the law along the way and getting in trouble with criminal elements.

Billions is a wonderful show, great story lines and great acting. Another show that has no real clear "good guys" but you still root for the bad guy of your choice because they are so damn good at being bad. Wendy is my favorite as the queen of cognitive dissonance and of course Wags, good old Wags. David Costabile chews every scene he is in, throwing everyone in the background by his presence alone.

Strider Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I am watching "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" on the Food Network. This episode is in Key West, Florida. Garbo's Grill, Bad Boy Burrito, DJ's Clam Shack will be on my places to hit on my next visit to Key West. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The older I get, the greater the appreciation I have for cooking shows, especially the "road" style shows like this. There are a few bar themed shows which follow the same premise...some dude visiting random famous bars etc. Funny thing is I have become a bit of the happy host as my cocktail mixing skills have gone next level via Anders Erikson's You Tube channel. Have the crew over for my drink de jour and if I step on me dick in the mixing, well, that's what Koenigsbier's for 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) I have begun a deep dive into "Adam 12" starting from the very first episode, directed by series co-creator Jack Webb. Strange...I remembered the show as being an hour long but each episode is only 30 minutes. Starring Martin Milner ("Route 66") and Tom Brady...no wait...that's Kent McCord.

That's because time is perceived as running slower when young. After you're done with that will you be on to Emergency! Loved that show as well.

When she came out as a connoisseur of carpet I was heartbroken, not that I had a chance if she favored the old jolly roger. Honestly, how does one court a lass who's wannabe boyfriend tried to rub out the Pres. for you? That's a pretty high bar to traverse right there unless you try and whack the Pope. Boy, I bet if some joker actually tried to kill the Pope for Jodi Foster the poor woman would think she was cursed by Juno herself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Emergency!" was another Jack Webb creation. Jack Webb loved the rank-and-file cops, firemen, and the EMS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryder1978 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Continuing to watch "Billions". The story line is getting a bit off track, but with a show with more twists than a Gran Prix race track and a soundtrack that includes songs from Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, UFO, Metallica...ya gotta love it.

It's a great show, one of my favorites. Sometimes they get a bit in the weeds with the plot but I give them latitude simply because the acting is so goddamned good. Not a crappy character in the lot. Two of my favorite side characters are the Indian trader & Ben Kim (they are usually on screen together). These are two super nice guys who would toss their mothers into a meat grinder if it would benefit them. Two complete sociopaths in regard to their corporate dealings but on the surface, two harmless, amiable chappies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I hadn't seen that Damien Lewis was in it, I wouldn't have even given it a shot. I'm only on season 5, but I'm still waiting for Wags (my fave) to get even with the guys that tricked him into attending that high class fraternity when he wasn't actually invited.

Stryder1978 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I finally caught up. I was just worried that the series would go the way of Ray Donovan, Game of Thrones, Californication, Dexter and other shows that I enjoyed...until the writing ruined the ends. So far so good.....

Stryder1978 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) I was right to worry about "Billions".... After 5 seasons, the star of the show (Damien Lewis) left and the show has been absolute shit starting with Season 6, Episode 1. Lewis was the sun that the other actors, the plot and the intrigue navigated around. Even worse, the storylines have gone completely "Hollyweird woke". For example, Axe's old company (now taken over by Prince), has decided to only go with environmentally friendly, sustainable and ethical clients. So, an ex-football player who started an exercise program and wants to go public refuses to join the firm because the firm manages the retirement pension for the NYPD. The ex-football player's comment was that he wouldn't participate with a firm that agrees with "State sanctioned killers"! And to round it all up. instead of music from Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Rusha nd Rainbow, Season 6 gives us music by Duran Duran, The Police (how ironic), Bob Seeger..... "Billions" is dead to me...killed by cultural wokeness. I recommend watching Seasons 1-5...THEN STOP!

Starting with episode 3 it gets good again and arguably, better than the prior seasons. I think the overarching point of season 6 is that even someone who considers themselves to be an "ethical" billionaire is still a billionaire above all else and the drive to become a billionaire trumps everything. The plotlines, the sub plots, the actions are all top notch but I agree, I was about to turn it off when I thought, meh, I will watch episode 3 and if it still sucks I'm out. Trust me, the wokeness is gone after ep#2 and it appears it was used as a deliberate plot point. I really like Damien Lewis as an actor and was disappointed he left but the slow momentum which starts with Prince has him in full Lord of the Realm mode by ep#3. The really neat aspect is Prince is always controlled and open to new ideas which is a 180 from Damien Lewis character. Prince sees himself as a savior, a Cincinnatus for New York when in reality he is just another petty dictator in a line of petty dictators.
