This review covers the first five seasons. The biggest problem with this series is the dialogue, which I really started to notice by season 3. Most of the characters speak in the same voice, giving them interchangeable personalities. I…

Gripping from the first scene, this is another gritty retelling of the dangers of lust for money at any cost, and the obscene wealth some individuals are allowed to garner using questionable methods. Especially ironic background to how…

A good series.

Like another commentator said, this is essentially a smarter, more intense soap opera. Paul Giamatti, the lead prosecutor for the Southern District, is going after the powerful and wealthy head of a financial firm, played by Damian Lewis…

A compelling soap opera set in the hedge fund world with excellent casting

The character representations are excellent. The emotions are intense. The psychology behind each person is a great study. They all have something to hide. You tend to sympathize with the "caring criminal" fighting the cruel revengeful…

I tend to binge on a series. I guess because I can. But this one is getting tiring. Mean, selfish, dishonest wealthy people. So? I’ll continue binging though. I like Paul Giamatti. If Malin Akerman could come up with another look…

The End Justifies the Means. Does it? The show has been carefully crafted to make the actions and motivations of the two main characters morally ambiguous. Both do reprehensible things based on their belief systems, but one is also…

I really liked this series right from episode one. The bad guy(Damian Lewis) is not as bad as we want and the good guy(Paul Giomatti) is not as good as he should be. Great tension between the characters, good dialogue and superb acting,…

I liked Billionaire as there was a fine line between the hero & the villian. The billionaire is assumed to be the bad gay, but he is human. The tax man assumed to be the good but has multiple character defects. The government tax man…

Paul Giamatti is a man on fire. Every episode, or just about every episode, of the 12 that make up season one he knocks it out of the park. Damian Lewis and Maggie Siff try to keep up -- Maggie Siff is particularly good as the female in…

I haven't seen it yet but with Paul Giamatti in the cast it's sure to be great.

A brilliant character study. Those of you who gave this show a lousy review clearly didn't give this show a chance. It's a gritty, realistic look at the financial industry and not everything in the show is as it seems. One of the best…

This had the feeling of having been written in the writers' spare time. The subject, to me, was potentially interesting. Unfortunately, plot lines seemed wandering and nothing developed in a very convincing way. I found myself reaching for…

I agree with others that there's a certain slime factor when it comes to the subject matter, but I don't agree with those who say the writing is bad. (One of the writers is a columnist for the New York Times and another co-wrote the…

Pure slime. An vicious eviseration of the financial sector, which may be well deserved, but if you enjoy bathing in toxic waste be my guest. Honor, notility, love, selflessness are drowned in pathological filth. Not a bubble of decency…

Outstanding TV program.. Reflects how business is done on wall street. If you like House of Cards, you will love this program. Powerful men still act like cave men.

I will say, it took me a while to get into this. Probably around half way is where I got interested to watch to the end, but the ending of the first season wasn't that great and I am not sure I will continue watching the next…
