First: you write extremely well,
Second: for whatever it’s worth, I concluded that Billions is written by solipsistic assholes who took their stylistic cue from a Dennis Miller standup set. “Hey, Ma! Look how smart I am.” Brevity is the soul of wit and this approach quickly gets boring. Truly smart people need not show off. People just know that they are smart. I’m reminded of the movie I think was titled Limitless, where they showed us things they thought smart people do, but do not actually. Hand Alexander a Rubic’s cube and he’ll cut it in half with his sword.
I stuck with Billions because I liked a few of its actors, not because of its alleged erudition.
Top it? Question whether any will equal it.
Ne plus ultra
We all need to take the hint and find sinewhere else to go.
