I'm very delighted to know you aren't trying to impose your "opinion" on me and I have duly noted your opinion while retaining mine.

Any suggestions what to watch next? Must be one that's ended please as I don't wait for "next week episodes".

I'm currently watching Defending Jacob, it's a murder mystery. Captain America is the lead character. It's been immersive so far.

'They' contribute nothing to the show for you, and obviously contributes a lot to the show for me.

See this very intelligent post for an explanation of the difference in our opinions.

I wait until no more series are made of a program I want to watch before watching it, which could mean I wait years like I had to do for Game of Thrones and think that is uber patient.

Remind me of that adage again please.

The series did not change my mind. If you went through my posts you'd realise that I've always used "they" and "them", and that buda is neither "he" nor "she". You may call it the result of living amongst people who respect personal pronouns.

“Hello sir, my name is Taylor. My pronouns are ‘they, theirs, and them.’”

What I wrote does in no way contradict my stance on Taylor. Billions is a top show, and I still like it, but my issue is with a non binary that can't muster up an emotion to save HER life. I can't relate to HER.

In a show full of eccentric and unpredictable people, SHE's like a deer caught in a headlight, she's too sane, and I hate that about HER.

Billions work best when everyone is acting irritationally, that's it's charm, and Taylor sober disposition directly contradicts that. It's why I hate HER.
It is a technic commonly used in good shows. Good writers will put in characters that riles and irritates and annoys or/and those who'd be loved and cherished because the emotional "why I hate HER", ties one in. It's called 'playing to your passionate strings'. The love or hatred for characters is what glues one to a series.

The rile, irritate and annoy characters in Billions for me are Axe because he's a dickhead, and Chuck because he is corrupt. I want to jump into my telly and rip their evil eyes out but thankfully, my love for my telly deters me.

now, in as much as Ur opinion is valid, I will.like to point out few things to you that you should consider before airing your decision opinion..
can you picture Taylor character not being a non binary in the show and watch her role in the series and see if there is no point in her part...

firstly... the introduction of a non binary character show there are different kind of sexualities out there that the world in general has not seen and have not known there own behaviour or experience

secondly... Taylor acting robotic has nothing to do with being non binary..some people tend to act that way and be straight forward..

thirdly..
Taylor character shows that..as axe keeps playing his card in the financial sector there is definitely an upcoming youngster that will reach his par or even outsmart him in the game..if not that the series centers between Axe and chucks..( Taylor is bound the be making history)

all your pointing out is how disgusting the non binary community is, same goes how some people frown at LGBTQ society which we keep seeing everyday and getting to know their own world ..

Ideologically, I find it absurd that someone born with a vagina will prefer to be qualified with a "them", "there", and "they" pronouns, but ultimately, HER non binary status has nothing to do with my dislike of HER.

It boils down to her robotic characteristics. If they had made HER character more relatable, and less robotic, I wouldn't have had any issues with Taylor.

I get what you're saying, but that's not the issue here. I've had love and hate relationship with every major character in Billions, especially Wendy, but I understand them and often empathize with them. I can relate to most of them on a personal level, especially Axe. I know where he's coming from and why he acts the way he does.

With Taylor, it's different. I cannot figure HER out. SHE'S like a blank page. SHE's very bland as a character, and I hate HER for it.

That is the role the show runners want her to play. she did not tell them that she must be a non binary character. after all on "orange is the new black" she wasn't non binary. Taylor's character is supposed to be a socially awkward savant(she's supposed to be the opposite of axe). so she basically acts the role well. she might be boring but thats her role, if there is anybody you should be mad at, its the show-runners, not the character.

I came across this statement in a series am watching...and it really got me
"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact, everything we see is a perspective not the truth"

being robotic tends to be behaviour acquired why growing . they(Taylor) deals with fact Nd figure or experience of others.. that how Taylor react...
go and watch big bang theory and find out about a guy called Sheldon cooper and how he behaves..

we have shy/ timid people, we have less exposed people, we have introvert, autistic people as well, nerd or geeks.. each portraying a different character entirely. we must always create room to accept what each have.. I'm not forcing you to accept Taylor character..I'm just saying be open minded to what the world has to offer from different species...

In a volatile show like Billions, a robotic character like Taylor is out of place. Maybe it's the creator's way of creating some kind of balance, but it's just not working for me. She's over doing the robot routine.

Last time I checked, it's a norm to hate a character in a beloved TV show, as long as you don't make it a personal vendetta against the person portraying the character.

Furthermore, I cannot be mad at the showrunners because they had successfully delegated their accountability to the actors. If a referee gives you an unjustified red card in a match, who are you going to blame, the ref or FIFA?

Bro you talk like someone that recently started watching TV series. The purpose of online ratings is to help people decide on which shows to watch or not.

Ratings from IMDb reflect audience opinion were RT ratings reflect opinions of professional critics.

Sometimes a series will have low RT rating but high IMDb, it simply means the audience like it even if professional critics don't.

But in the instance a series have both low IMDb and RT ratings and negative reviews from IMDb users, it means the show is garbage and people should steer clear.

The 6.9% IMDb rating on Brave New World shows the general public don't particularly feel strongly about the show but don' hate it either. The 45% RT rating shows the professional critics hate it.

It's now up to an individual to decide how to proceed based on the information they've been provided.

Watch or not to watch, it's up to you. But please don't try to justify your questionable taste by ridiculing a known system that have worked for many people.
Bro sit your ass down.

Everybody has his or her taste in life, you talk as if even if rotten tomatoes rated a series 20% and imb rate that same series 2/9. There are some comments you will read by opinions of people in imb and they will still rate it 10/10.

If the people that commented on a series on imb are 100. Even if imb rate the series 6/10. About 40 % of the comments will rate it 8 and above.

So do you mean the 40 people out of 100 don't know what they are doing?

You mean they have no right to choose what they like?

This is why i say the opinions of rotten tomatoes and imb no longer matters when it comes to series.

It matters before but not now and the reason is that.

1) They expect all series to be like Game of thrones.

When it comes to Adventure, the game of thrones has made these critics to believe that, any adventure series that is not on par with the game of thrones is below average which to me is 100% Nonsense.

The reason why Game of thrones gatherd many fans was because of the nude scenes and the dragons.

Before the game of thrones, we never add lots of series with dragons and if you must know.

People tend to Judge Netflix series because they drop all episodes at ones.

If they had gone with the pattern of dropping each episodes per week, you will see that lots of Their series will get high review for example this latest one "Curse"

Like i said before, game of thrones has made all new adventure series to look like shiit which is totally unfair because if you must know, there are seasons of game of thrones that are not even as interesting as the Witcher and cursed.

You cannot compare game of thrones season 1 to the Witcher or cursed.

They beat game of thrones season one hands down.

But why we were all fascinated by the game of thrones was because it was the first of it's kind, so game of thrones came when we had no other option.

But Damm!! I remember a certain shanara chronicle that beats the game of thrones hands down.

But like i said, people will always be blind to the truth.

Take a look at the war scenes in game of thrones and compare it to the war scenes in The last kingdom or even the Vikings and they beat the game of thrones hands down.

So like i said, these so called professional websites are using the game of thrones to rate new fantasy and adventure series which is totally not fair.

Just like how they use Westworld to rate The Brave new world.

But i can tell you that i enjoyed the brave New world than any season of Westworld.

Yes i said that and i stand by it.

Just finished watching "Berlin station", in Season 1, from episode 1-5 I couldn't grab the plot and twist, but began enjoying it from 6. Quite interesting. It's a pity for Daniel Miller. Almost all American spy movies portray CIA to be dark and destruction, that's why many countries don't genuinely like Americans.
