This show had me at "Pictures on My Wall".

Oleg was MIA. Where is any of this stuff in Russia heading?

You should feel better knowing they didn't end the season with a brisk walk.

Interesting. I thought the training scene was the most exciting one of the entire season. It was fun watching this pair of dancers show off their muscle memory.

I love the Russian scenes. Especially all the creaking floorboards.

Four Americans cast members have been on Billions to date:

There doesn't seem to have been much forethought into how raising children was supposed to work for sleeper agents. Oh, hey kids, surprise, we're spies! It's kind of the big elephant in the room that hasn't really been explained.

Come on, it's always been Mission: Impossible with feels. ;) That's the show. If you missed that aspect, then you missed a lot of the point of the show. Did the whole recurring EST thing not tip you off? I'm not trying to be confrontational, but there seems to be a lot of viewers who aren't built of the right stuff to…

Yes, it was clearly important to the Soviets, but you have to consider how it is important to the story of the characters in the show.
