BILLIONS
Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET
Last week’s episode ended with Axelrod (Damian Lewis) using home-turf advantage, and details of memories from his youth, to outmaneuver his competition in charming a hearing board in favoring his bid at a local land grab. But as soon as he tasted victory, he almost choked on the aftertaste of shame, and couldn’t wait to flee the Yonkers neighborhood he had just argued so passionately to help rebuild. It’s a complicated character, a complicated dynamic, and a complicated show – and tonight, he may be battling on another front, as two key figures from his own company may be joining forces to work not for him, but for themselves.
