    Billions

    Good writing, two awesome lead actors, but somehow it feels like a missed opportunity. The two wives are annoying as fuck, and the conceit of the shrink with a foot in both camps just doesn't work; I know she's meant to be Axelrod's conscience or whatever, but she just blows away any realism the series might contain. The two wives' acting is also so-so at best.

    I think when you strip it away it's a bit like Dallas set in New York City, with Axe as JR and Giamatti as Cliff Barnes or whichever "good guy" JR is outwitting this week. Obviously the writing is way better than that but the plausibility not much so.
