S1:E6 The Deal

"As Billions heads into the back half of its 12-episode first season, it's helpful to remind ourselves of the show's true identity and embrace the lusty, high-toned delirium that revs its dramatic engine. How else to process The Deal, the show's craziest episode to date?"

"Tonight's doozy of an episode begins with Wendy and Hall in a dark, gloomy underground facility filled with pipes (basically Hall's natural habitat). He leads her to a bathhouse-style heated pool where Axelrod, wearing a robe and nothing else, is waiting for her."

"This is really the episode that Billions has been building toward all season. It's one of the most purely entertaining hours of TV so far this year."
