Is Billions the best trading money making TV ever made. And is Bobby Axelrod the best model hero for making it.

I say yes.

Oh, I must say I'm quite surprised. That's unironically a really good show, I watched all season 1. Way more realistic. There's gonna be a season 2 I think

Just about to start the 3rd season. Hoping you are wrong about that. I love the dense plotting that actually makes sense cause 90% of shows dont. Sorkin in involved in Billions which is why it probably went sjw..

Kind of agree. BUT if you actually watched the show he is only one of 3 writers and actually I was surprised that the Hedge Fund guy is the likeable character while the Gov prosecuter you expect to be the hero is a fucking asshole. So...

It's really not until the third season. But then you get
-a whole subplot about the trans character's love affair with a Peter Thiel type character including a really gross love scene
-cliche hypocrite gun toting southern baptist conservative villain
-cliche psycho Russian patriarch villain
-in almost every interaction between the female and male characters the female is showing some kind of superior wisdom or virtue. Even the main character's previously vapid wife suddenly was the one helping him run the business and he cant' do it without her
-not sjw but bonus propaganda: cryptoccurrency is only used to commit crimes

Succession is better. Honestly, every non HBO show gets trash after a couple of seasons, it's hard to keep a quality show running for long unless it's HBO for some reason. I'm not even shilling them though since I pirate everything anyway, it's just my personal observation.

I watched 3/4 of the pilot and had to turn it off because of the cheesy dialogue.

The redpill is to not follow any movie or book. Go your own way, become successful by your own terms, create your own original story.

Billions is cringe, it's painfully obvious that drama comes before any financial realism. It's like watching Naruto to learn self-defense.

That being said I have no clue what good financial based shows there are. I recall Margin Call being a good movie
