Billions - Season 4 Episode 09: American Champion
It's a series of dramatic events we're experiencing during the fourth season, when Axe has to intervene when Bill Bill's advice takes a different turn. On the other hand, Chuck faces a threat to his new career aspirations, and Wendy and Axe set up a plan to block Taylor's work in his company, and Taylor receives an important guest who could change things. On the other hand, it seems that Taylor insists on breaking everything in order to achieve success for his company.

As always, the plot (here devised by the writer Adam R. Perlman and put into action by the director Naomi Geraghty) is crisp, clever and layered like a cake.

"American Champion" is the kind of episode that pulls the heated relationships at the season's core to the front and center, moving the battle forward in a way that feels meaningful and exciting.

"American Champion" is about as rote as this show gets, which means it still offers up its share of entertaining moments amid some stale and underwhelming storytelling.

"American Champion" was particularly rewarding to Billions fanatics with an encyclopedic memory of the show's previous guest stars, who were phased out after their particular plot-line was replaced by another.

Putting his ego over his family is a classic Chuck move, but since none of the maneuvers he executes in "American Champion" had a chance in hell of panning out anyway, the viewer's enjoyment lies in watching Chuck dig himself into a hole.
