10 TV Shows You Need To Stop Sleeping On

3. Billions (Showtime)

American Gods
Showtime

Billions is a series on Showtime set in New York where the U.S. Attorney’s Office goes head to head with an ambitious hedge fund that always seems to be two steps ahead of everyone, including the law. This game of predator vs. prey sees brilliant venture capitalist Bobby Axelrod going up against the ruthless Chuck Rhoades in a battle where power is the ultimate currency.

This elaborate drama stars Damian Lewis and Paul Giamatti who are two powerful opposing forces presented as having a somewhat supernatural grasp on their occupations. Its almost like they have superpowers that involve prosecution and profits as opposed to flying or invisibility, raising the stakes on who the last man standing will be.

Sons of Anarchy’s Maggie Siff regularly steals the spotlight as Wendy, the spouse of Rhoades and one of Axelrod’s most trusted confidant. She walks the line between the two worlds flawlessly and provides the series with a solid foundation held together by her fearless performance. This role has her magnificently tackling many personas such as mother, therapist and dominatrix wife.

Showtime's Billions has just ordered a fifth season with three binge-worthy seasons as well as a fourth which is currently airing now.
