I think Axe has gone a bit too "super villain" the whole sworn enemy thing was a bit grating

Agree, they really need to dial that crap back next season.

Sworn enemy me bollix

It all wrapped up a little too easy but I guess that the model for TV these days.
The season over all has been a lower standard but still enjoyable from an entertainment point of view.

I think if Axe is going to the absolute villain then go all out – nobody is safe (except Wags – the man can d no wrong)

Taylor isn’t likeable at all so would like to see her get crushed and do it early in the next series then focus back on axe and chuck. I think it was the end of the first series where axe was tearing down the office to end with a stand off between him and Chuck – that was great TV. Bring that type of drama back.

Like people have said I hope the next season is the last and they wrap it up rather than flogging it into the ground – too many shows lately have done 1+ too many series and it just ruins the over all feeling for the show.

Taylor crushed
Chuck beaten
Axe to get richer and richer (Although I think the woman scored will come back to bite him big time)

I think Connerty is done for good, and with this season's paddywhackery that doesn't bother me too much.

I also hope Rebecca comes back to stab Axe, even though I didn't like her character too much, and Chuck is more redeemable than Axe so I hope he and Taylor deliver the fatal blows.

I thought Axes monologue explaining to Rebecca about his thought process about
the deal he pulled was very Patrick Bateman, I was laughing my head off at that.

Yeah, it was a bit much, but I think that it needed to be spelt out and tie back to moments.

Well that didn’t end the way I would have liked, I really wanted Taylor to be crushed and left penniless

No doubt Taylor will become the victor and take all the spoils next season
The character is really annoying

They're planning on showing the first 7 episodes and then the show goes on hiatus due to filming being halted because of ... well we all know what it's because of.

Ah feck it, thought this series was done.

The next year or two is going to be a worse drought than the writers strike

Nigel Fairservice

I would have thought filming was completed before quarantine measures were put in place. Lets say they stopped fiming in March and the show premieres at the beginning of May, it doesn't give a lot of time for post production. I'm only wondering out loud. The same happened with The Walking Dead. I think they film over the summer months but they pulled the show as well. Would have thought the current season would have been well finished by the time they pulled it.

I know I'll end up regretting it but I'll continue on with this, the first episode of season 5 didn't inspire me with any confidence at all.

JohnnyFlash

I enjoyed the episode apart from the guest appearance part.

Billions is hammy thrash, but it’s very entertaining. Chuck’s dad is a great character.

Of the same opinion.I thought it was only so so.

Wouldn't still bet against a reconciliation of Chuck and Wendy.

No sign of Connerty.

I had no idea who Becky Lynch was but felt an understandable compulsion to google her when I heard the Irish lilt.

_Kaiser_

I enjoyed it mostly. Despite its flaws the two leads are great and Wags is always good for a laugh.

I wouldn't be expecting Connerty back though. I think he's done after last season's events.

rob316

I was watching it and I was like is that a Limerick accent before they even panned to her. Fair dues to her but it was an awful cameo. It always starts off the same and then the deception and plans build. I already know how the end of this season will go, Axe and Chuck having a big face to face war speech and I'll still love it.

steve_r

yeah, think the above posters nailed it. It's enjoyable for what it is, two leads always good value and a very entertaining supporting cast.

It's not trying to be anything its not, I think at this point it's just delivering what it's audience wants and I'm fine with that.
