“I don’t have IBS, technically.” Tonight’s “Billions” gives us a lot of “Carnivale” (and “Highlander” and “Buckaroo Banzai”) vet Clancy Brown as Chuck Rhoades’ boss, former Texas governor and current U.S attorney general Jock Jeffcoat. Former child actor David Krumholtz goes way sleazier than the porn producer he plays on HBO’s “The Deuce.” John Malkovich is back, and Maria Sharapova turns up long enough to exchange some Russian banter. We get to see Taylor use the bathroom, and Malin Akerman is back for a great teen party scene. Showtime says of tonight’s “Redemption”:
Axe explores an unappealing investment at a desperate moment. Taylor makes a personal compromise for business. Chuck suspects a major foe may be on to his scheme. Wendy advises an Axe Capper to make bold moves.
HBO says of tonight’s “Phase Space”:
We each deserve to choose our own fate.
