Have you been watching? This show is a lot of things, but subtle is not one of them.

Dale just wanted everyone to get along. He was very morally superior. Chuck's dad wants to screw on the side and get revenge. Plus dale's beard didn't help, just his voice.

Walking Dead character olayed by the same actor as Chuck's dad. Was always "mr. Can't we all just get along" and eventuslly got his innards torn out by zombies

It isn't how much they use it, it is how poorly they use it.

Well...the swearing in this show is awful. Like, my 8yo nephew learned some bad words and likes to use them awful.

Probably just me but that Wags guy is becoming my least favorite cast member. And I really liked that guy's role in BB. Something about the way he delivers all his lines that really bugs me.

Wags is almost a caricature.

Almost?

He was much better in bb but I'm enjoying this ******* character he plays vs the nerd.

Every time I start to like the show again it turns back into over the top melodrama like the climactic scene tonight.
Between that and giamatti's almost farcical overacting in every scene (it's like he took a six week deep dive one on one class with Pacino), not sure I have much left for it.
Ax and Wendy are worth the watch though, they may keep me around a bit longer.

Just watched the new one. It was aight. Not an episode worth waiting 2 weeks for.

Do these lower rung actors have contracts with AMC? It seems like a lot of them are being recycled in to their new shows.

Season finale last night. Anyone still watching?

I binge watched over the last week. Fun show; nothing life changing but fun.
oragator

I did finish the season.
The finale was better than recent episodes, but it still had that melodramatic final scene.
Don't know if I will watch next year, show seems meh to me, the good stuff is more than outweighed by the meandering plot, slow scenes, very odd swearing that makes it clear someone just said "drop a bunch of f bombs", Giamatti's overacting and really a lack of anything happening. With the exception of things around Wendy, all the major characters are pretty much where they were when the season started. Not sure that it is worth another 12 hours of my life.

We're still watching. I think it found its place after a few episodes. Haven't watched the finale yet.

I haven't watch the finale but either the show got a little less tarded as the season progressed or my expectations lowered to an appropriate level.

We haven't watched the finale yet, but so far I've found the show to be enjoyable.

Agree on pretty much all counts. There's just too much cheese mixed in for me to fully embrace it. Every single episode seems to have cringe-worthy moments/dialogue. There were at least two in this one for me: 1) he changes back into his casual clothes and gives an over-the-top investor sales pitch and 2) the over-dramatic scene at the end where not only was the dialogue over-the-top, even the stupid set where the building has been ripped to shreds was over-the-top.

Whether I tune back in for a 2nd season will depend entirely on timing and how lean/full my DVR is when it comes back. It will be a very low priority.

Didn't like the finale.

Some decent, intriguing characters, but the last couple of episodes were meh. Interested to see where the story goes, I'll watch on dvr when I have time. Pretty similar to Halt & Catch Fire for me as far as interest (dvr season 2 but still haven't watched). Could be the same with Billions.

I'm in the middle of season 2. I've really enjoyed it. I'm surprised by the negativity towards it on this thread.

The show was one of the worst things that a premium cable channel has put out. The stories and characters were more believable on Red Shoe Diaries

That and Vinyl were just massive failures.
