You may recall a recent post about the pilot episode of the Showtime Series Billions. I was deeply intrigued by Paul Giamatti's boot-filled fem-dom relationship with his wife and I found promise in the show's winter-in-Manhattan setting. Well, episode two was clearly filmed in the summer and there wasn't the slightest hint of anything interesting between Paul and Maggie Siff. Worse, the "Previously on Billions" intro didn't make a single allusion to that most interesting part of the show. I understand that months can pass between pilot and episode filming, but I fear that the network "notes" included, "lose the kinky stuff."
This is why I'm a pessimist.
Dammit! This is really bad news :( What is so bad about kink?! Violence is perfectly fine but as soon as there's some sexual tension...nope! Can't have that!!
ReplyDeleteI could be wrong, but that's the sense I get. I'll continue to monitor, but I fear we've heard the last of Billions.
DeleteAt least you were able to give us what there was. Thanks.
ReplyDeletePilot bait. As usual. :-(
