Billions is so corny, but I’m still watching for some stupid reason. Succession is awesome.

I'm assuming they fired all their expensive writers because it took a HUGE decline.

Billions was good in seasons 1 through maybe 3? But it's been God-awful and super cringey for a while now. The latest two episodes were a chore to get through. We're done with it. Note journalists, esp nytimes writers, tweet out about Billions because it's written and created by their friend Andrew Sorkin. It's corny trash.

Love Succession. Couldn’t get into Billions. It’s personal preference- you’ll just need to try both!

Yellowstone is far better than both. Season 3 premiers in June, I think?
Billions has the most absurd plots and dialogue. But they do it so well that I have forgiven them for that. BTW you wouldn't call Mason bisexual, you'd call them non-binary.

Succession is brilliant satire and a master class in acting. I found Billions to be OTT but not in a clever way.

I can't get through Succession, but love Billions. Succession is such a downer, everyone is a mess except Siobhan (who I do like) and it all just stresses me.

I think the difference is that Billions is a little . . . campier, maybe? More fun. Even when people are being ruthless there is a campier energy to it.

I like Billions better. Succession is more of a downer. Plus Paul Giamatti is so brilliant.
