The last season of Billions ended with Bobby taking down every bit of Axe Capital, searching for surveillance devices that may have been planted in the walls. Just before "The Conversation" ended, Chuck walked in to gloat, even though his career and marriage were at on the brink of collapsing.
"Risk Management" continues with Bobby and Chuck's conflict but Bobby is having more problems with the investigation on he and his team. His actions in the first season have come back to haunt him. Bobby re-builds Axe Capital and this time, the employees can't go in with their phones and must undertake security checks before going into the building. Wendy left Axe Capital with her five million dollars at the end of the first season and now, plans on working for a rival firm. She entertains a visit from Bobby but refuses to go back to Axe Capital.

During the first season, which was amazing, I felt they showed us everything we could see about the show, but the show runners have a way of keeping you hooked. The second season premiere was very compelling and even though the major story line still revolves around Chuck and Bobby at each other's throats, I was honestly engrossed and wanted to know what was next for both of them.

The performance from the cast was amazing as usual. The best thing about Billions is the captivating dialogue between the characters which makes it stand out from every other show on TV. I'm a little uncomfortable with the fact that Lara Axelrod played by Malin Akerman doesn't get to feature in many scenes and when she does, they don't really seem crucial to the general story line. Bobby waving his hand for the lights to go out at the tracks clearly signifies that he controls whatever comes his way, just as long as he has his money. It's obvious that these two men are very committed to bringing each other down and would do anything to achieve this goal. Billions continues to be an amazing show and the premiere is good enough to make you stick around for the next episode. Season two premieres February 19 on Showtime.
