“Billions” is as great as ever in season five.

I’ve recently found myself with a shade of free time, and that led me to diving into season five of the hit Showtime production with Damian Lewis. (REVIEW: ‘Westworld’ Season 3 Ends With The Possible Deaths Of Multiple Characters)

It’s not a secret at all that I’m a huge fan of “Billions” and Lewis. Season four ended on a great note, and season five picks up right where the intensity left off.

Axe is scheming as always and Prince and him are on a collision course. The rest of the crew is also exactly where you’d expect them to be.

Chuck is trying to bring down Axe as always. Wendy is her usual loyal self and in a relationship with a painter. Taylor is trying to gun for green energy and Wags is trying to reconnect with his children or have another one that he doesn’t royally screw up.

I won’t ruin any specific storylines, but I had no idea “Billions” just stopped airing episodes during the coronavirus pandemic!

Yes, I’m sitting here eating dinner Wednesday night enjoying the start of episode seven when a message comes up that “Billions” will return at a later date.

That’s right, folks! Season five of “Billions” just stopped airing in June, and nobody has a clue when it’ll be back.

We’ve found another entertainment victim of coronavirus. To make matters worse, it’s possible that season five won’t resume until 2021, according to ChroniclesPR.

To say that was a punch to the gut Wednesday night would be an understatement. I’m vibing with Axe and all his schemes, and moments later I realize the season is halted. I damn near lost my appetite.

So, now we play the waiting game. We wait for season five to return, and nobody has a clue when that’ll happen. I’ve loved what I’ve seen of season five so far, and I can’t wait for it to start again. Hopefully, that happens sooner than later.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
