BILLIONS
Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET
SEASON PREMIERE: Season 5 takes much of the opening episode to find its footing and get moving – but from then on, Billions delivers with a powerful punch, as always. Damian Lewis and Paul Giamatti, trying to secure their respective power bases, pursue new goals and face new adversaries. Corey Stoll shows up early, and stands eye to eye with Lewis’ Axe, just as formidably and ruthlessly. Other players in the first two episodes include Polly Draper from thirtysomething and Rob Morrow from Northern Exposure – two veteran players doing terrific turns with small but juicy roles.
