There were plenty of shows that were negatively impacted by
COVID, but aside for shows like G.L.O.W. that were renewed but later canceled
because of it, there is an argument that Billions was the show most negatively
affected. Of the shows that were shut
down while still filming, Billions is one of the last that were not canceled to
finally put out there next episode. The
last episode of Billions aired June 14, 2020 and now fifteen months later, we are
finally getting the final five episodes of the fifth season. But it will not be much break until season
six which is expected to debut early 2022.
Since it has been so long, we do get a ninety second recap
that touches on a few bullet points like Taylors new outfit, Wendy kissing Frank
Grillo, Chuck’s father needs a kidney, Chuck going after the Treasury Secretary,
Chuck becoming a professor and using his students for his needs, and Bobby’s
new feud with Corey Stoll. Hopefully that
reminds everyone what is going on.
One person who is barely mentioned in the previously on montage
is Julianna Margulies who seemingly was unable to return to the show and only
gets a couple passing messages from Chuck.
But that may have been for the best because that whole professor
storyline was not the strongest on the show.
But in true Billions style does get a live performance on the show and
features a great Tom Petty song near the end of the first episode back. Then another guest, this time an unwanted
one, seemingly will be making an appearance this season when one of the character
mentions a Chinese bug that is going to fill the hospital in the near future.
Billions airs Sundays at 9:00 on Showtime.
