    I feel like they had some notes only for the script and improvised most of it. They also seem to force this Wendy woman into all situations, she cannot perform the role well. Most characters are just cliche, superficial caricatures. Shame that a topic this good is wasted.

    It is quite a torture watching Billions.
    I gave up watching it.

    Cursed TV series from Netflix is much more entertaining.

    I didn't even attempt Cursed because it has a 5.5 rating on IMDB which is a reliable ratings site voted on by ordinary people. I dont watch anything under a 7.5 rating.

    Two good series, both subtitle, "Gomorrah" and "Dark".

    The tv series is in my all time Top 5. Up there with Sopranos and Breaking Bad.

    I liked the Limitless Drug, made them feel clever by making them stupid, stupid people always think there clever, because there stupid which annoys me no end, guess I have 1 pet peeve!!

    If you like Gomorrah then you should see ZeroZeroZero (story by Roberto Saviano, same guy that's behind Gomorrah) and L'immortale (it was mediocre, IMO, but how often do you see Latvia featured in a movie) which is a movie based on one of the characters from Gomorrah.

    Already seen both of them. Zerozerozero was awesome. L'immortale was a wasted opportunity. They could have taken the opportunity to show a young Ciro and Attia coming up under a rising Pietro Savistano (probably butchered spelling on both first and last name) rather than a group of people nobody had ever seen or heard of before then.
