Snippet from the 'Billions' TV Series Season 5, Episode 6: Axe Turns His Apartment Into a Museum to Duck Fraud Charges
You read that correctly, but let's provide some context. As this week's "Previously On" reminds us, in an earlier episode of the series, Axe engaged in a clever tax fraud scheme: He had replicas of valuable paintings stored away "in a tax-free state," and then had the real things hung up in his palatial Manhattan apartment.

Showtime's Billions takes place in a reality all its own. Technically that's true of pretty much every work of fiction, but it feels especially so for the show created by Brian Koppelman, David Levien and Andrew Ross Sorkin.

Really, though, Billions takes place in a different, even more heightened world—one where stock bros and members of the federal law enforcement are hyper-articulate and as fluent in sports and film references as they are in obscene insults.
