Like I’ve said before, it’s no secret that I love the show BILLIONS (really I’m maybe Showtime’s favorite fan…)  If you’re not watching BILLIONS (what’s wrong with cha…?) then you are truly missing #MustSeeTV,  This show is like The Game Of Thrones and The Sopranos in one.  Its well written, intelligent and it give us a peek at the inside worlds of high finance (who know that Wallstreet would be this entertaining ie: Wallstreet, The Wolf Of Wallstreet ect ect).

But this cut by Vince Staple ‘STREET PUNKS’ last night was that beast of a beat and boy you gotta hear it. I love this show. BILLIONS is so well put together right down to the music (“you can’t be about it if you don’t know about it…”)  Check out BILLIONS on Showtime (“what’s the use of having F_ck you money if you can’t say f_ck you… Bobby Axelrod)

Man I’m a Bobby Axelrod fan (character from the Showtime series Billions).  Bobby is that dude.  This show covers many of today’s society’s misunderstanding of the drivingly wealthy (like becoming wealthy now is a bad thing…).  There has become some underlying thought process in society that if a person has become wealthy that somehow they cheated or went around the rules.  This show deals with that perception  and the pissing battle that ensues when a politically and  power driven prosecutor (Chuck Rhoades) is determined to bring down this powerful hedgefund manager (Bobby Axelrod) like he’s some sort of big game prize.  The twist and turn in this show makes for great TV.  Paul Giamatti and Damien Lewis were great cast as these actors.   As these powerful players who are on a catastrophic course to try and outdo or undo the other.

Bobby Axelrod is a real heroic character that built his thing from the ground up playing by the same rules that all of the players play by on Wall Street.  Why is he such a target for Chuck Rhoades?  Power, that it.  The powerful trophy of bagging the biggest prize in the game (no matter what it cost…).  Many times in this show Bobby Axelrod is presented with the “dirt” solution and everytime he passes (a fact that I feel many viewers pass over “You always have a choice…”).  “You always have a choice…” is a phrase he echoes constantly on the show like a wise sage to those who around him who have to make a tough choices.  The writer’s have made Axelrod so romantically charming and noble that’s it’s really hard to judge him on his questionable behavior as a trader.  Bobby Axelrod comes off as a great guy that you would love to drink beers with in a jersey bar.

I appreciate the Billion’s folks from Showtime for giving me this BILLION DOLLAR TWEET, but I really thank them for providing me with some really great TV with a story that has some bite and provokes us to think about some things and our perceptions of power, money and achievement.  Man I’ll accept a check from Bobby Axelrod any day.
