Billions might be coming to an end soon, but there are many similar shows about the pursuit of power that are worth watching once it's over.
On October 29, 2023, Billions will come to an end after its seventh and final season concludes the story. The Showtime drama follows Chuck Rhoades, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and his relentless pursuit to take down the wealthy businesspersons who manipulate the system. At first, he sets his sights on Bobby “Axe’” Axelrod, head of a hedge fund that he believes partakes in dirty deals.
9 ‘Succession’ When it comes to greedy and arrogant one-percenters and their constant pursuit of power and influence, no show fits the bill quite like Succession. The multi-Emmy-winning series also centers around a fictional company, but this time, it’s a family-owned business empire, a media conglomerate with its hands in everything from news stations to cruise lines.
Don Draper can be likened, in some ways, to Bobby Axelrod, both troubled men who came from tough upbringings but managed to make something of themselves. Both have chips on their shoulders and struggle to maintain power, influence, and their relationships. The setting and tone might be different with less political interference. But fans of Billions will appreciate what Mad Men has to offer.
It’s his troubled past and family life, however, that prove the downfall of Ray. The Los Angeles and New York City-set crime drama is darker and more violent than Billions, but for something to level up from the dialogue-heavy series, focusing more on fists of fury, Ray Donovan is a good option. Don’t forget to also check out Ray Donovan: The Movie, which concluded the story following the show’s cancellation.
4 ‘Dirty Money’ Arguably much of the money that exchanged hands on Billions was “dirty money,” obtained, acquired, earned, or swindled through underhanded means. That’s the premise in Dirty Money as well, with six episodes that each tell stories of corporate corruption, securities fraud, and creative accounting.Also like Billions, Dirty Money centers around real-life stories like the payday loans in the U.S. and HSBC money laundering.
2 ‘StartUp’ StartUp is about the complicated financial business and tech start-up worlds. The story begins when a brilliant idea for a digital currency called GenCoin is developed into a tech start-up. But it’s incubated by the wrong people and the company and technology gets on the radar of a crooked FBI agent.
