Last Saturday ended one of the best series of recent years, Billions, created by Brian Koppelman, David Levien and Andrew Ross Sorkin. With a total of seven seasons, the last of which comprises twelve episodes, it has masterfully shown the goings-on of punters, with excellent performances from its two main protagonists Damian Lewis and Paul Giamatti.
To this we must add some secondary virtues: for example, the discovery of an actress like Asia Kate Dillon, a disturbing Taylor Mason in the series, and above all a David Costabile, the cynical and wise Mike Wagner, the trustworthy man of Lewis, who with his in Despite the skepticism that has grown from a thousand financial battles, he will continue to be the manager of the company’s new owner, the very ambitious Mike Prince, played by Corey Stoll, a kind of bald-headed Donald Trump, with all the alarm bells ringing in his efforts to achieve the presidency of the United States. Real like the lives of even the fraudulently enlightened.
Unexpected alliances between those who were once implacable enemies, betrayals by economic officials, golden banishments and triumphant returns – all make up a series about a world unknown to most mortals, that of the carpeted jungle where anything is possible, when you tell it. The results are reasonable and Movistar Plus+ shows. In any case, Brian Koppelman and David Levien, two of the three original managers, are already working on a series of sequels to this unknown world of billionaires: Billions: Miami, Billions: London, Millions and Billions. In other words, the ambition that is considered one of the fine arts of television is not just limited to financial speculators.
