Review
Axe (Damian Lewis) and Chuck (Paul Giamatti) try to salvage the fallout at the end of season 2; Taylor (Asia Kate Dillon) takes the front stage in running Axe Capital and Chuck has to deal with the ramifications of his actions. One area of the season which I really like is the character development of Taylor, who becomes less naive and more ruthless under the tutelage of Axe; I also like the character of Rhoades Sr. (Jeffrey DeMunn), who always provides comedic relief.
I like Chuck’s storyline much more in this season; he has to deal with the Game of Thrones-esque betrayal by his father, his best friend, and also his right hand man Connerty (Toby Leonard Moore). One theme I really liked is Chuck finally acting in a morally correct manner, in making amends with those he wronged and also standing up to authority when the authority is misusing their power. I also like the new dynamic between Chuck and Axe, while still strenuous, the two now share common goals and objectives. One pleasant surprise for me is John Malkovich's Grigor, who is a chilling and ruthless Russian oligarch.
Conclusion
A twist in the drama keeps it fresh.
