DrewDon Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Taylor is a terrific character - a highlight of the second series. Dake eventually grew on me. The final two installments were excellent, with #11 arguably being the strongest individual episode so far. Giamatti is a class act. I binged on Series 1 at a friend's recommendation - and I'm glad that I did so. It's very nicely poised for the third series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gc_smfc Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Just watched all of this apart from the finale of series two which was released after I went offshore. Really really enjoy, as as said above Giamatti is brilliant in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 Still don't like Dake much. The stuff they're doing with Ax and Chuck is odd, and I think they're going to have a mutual enemy by the end of the season that slows down, but doesn't end, their tiff. They're pointing out certain things about both guys and it tells me that they're leaning towards a grudging partnership over one thing at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
++Ammo - Airdrie++ Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Recorded the first episode and got as far as the first financial discussion with the two guys in the brightly lit corridor. Didn't follow a word of what they were on about and gave up. I'd been looking forward to it, but f that chat was a sign of things to come I had to bale out. As someone who doesn't have a clue about financial trading lingo, i was a bit scared i wouldn't be able to follow it especially during the first couple of episodes, bit stick with it. Even though they talk jargon half the time, the story that develops allows it to be followed very well without really understanding what they're talking about (if that makes sense???)

Re your last point, I've defo thought this is where its heading, at some point they're both going to work together against someone that will benefit them both in different ways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something will happen that results in Axe saving Chuck's bacon but I don't know what! I also get the feeling that Axe will bang Chuck's wife this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I thought The Wrong Maria Gonzalez was an excellent episode; a proper return to form after the season opener. The end scene was especially good, and a stark reminder of Axe's callousness. I just had one (small) grumble: Spoiler Victor immediately connecting the dots between (the right) Maria's timekeeping and her being questioned just seemed too much of a leap to me. It was too convenient for the plot, and it could certainly have been executed more plausibly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I've persevered longer than you but just not feeling it. They've added too many new characters into this season, and too many conflicting styles also - the episode with the freeze frame dollar totals of net worth of each individual was just daft. It's The Office after Steve Carell left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellboy1991 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 This was one of my favourite shows, but oh god have they utterly destroyed it. It’s so bad now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Well this season is done. I assume they are going for yet more given the way it ended which had been predictable for quite a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halbeath Raith Rover Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 The first 3 series or so were superb TV, it became less consistent, and overall the recent series is the worst. If there is any positive to take its that although this series was the worst.. it did get a bit better towards the end. Wendy as a character has become a joke in the last two series, drop her if continuing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
