I have worked at a hedge fund. Margin Call reminded me of work. The Big Short, too, but less so. Billions seems utterly alien to me.
The show is literally unbearable to me and I get furious why I even watch it while doing other stuff with one eye and one ear.
1.
Hedge Funds - they make it about insider trading 101 without showing literally anything about the real work being done. They obviously took some few examples of real life, but this is utterly unrealistic work behavior and is about as realistic as female Vikings fighting against English professional soldiers in the Vitings TV show bullshit.
2. Axelrod and his merry cameraderie of cucks. The only one who seems to be having some fun is his vice-captain who at least gets high often and buys the most expensive hookers.
Axelrod is like a feminist dream come true - never cheats, never even fucks the women who throw themselves on him, he listens to his fucking
bitchy wife. In the one episode where she takes the kids after one measly minor lie, there he at least tells the truth and leaves a message on her voicemail of how much pussy he has missed and how little she would have to say if he wanted to.
In another scene the cook in the Hamptons house gets a blowjob by a girl he picked up. When I saw that scene I thought that it would be Axelrod having finally some deserved fun out of it, but no - it was
the cook who used the house and his fortune better than he did himself.
Another example - they are in the stripclub in one scene and one of the cucks who dates the main secretary says: "I am faithful, but she isn't." So yeah - a guy who makes millions at his age, is tall and moderately good-looking adheres to a fucking one-sided open relationship with a woman who is admittedly hot, but already going to 30. AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGHHHHHH! This show literally sucks the fun out of Wallstreet and is utterly unrealistic.
The boring Zurich investment bankers have 100 times more fun and far more masculine and "chauvinist" than this sorry bunch of cucks and pussy-whipped assholes who are surrounded by bitchy snarky women.

Magic pussy has magic minds:
I cannot even begin to describe the utter and complete fuckery that is the
female psychotherapist. They dragged out that woman already hitting the wall in Mad Men. Now they do it again, but she has already hit the wall. But leaving her age and looks aside, because as an experienced coach that would be fine - the entire approach of the consultations are also without much logic. Yes - there is a huge field where traders need coaching, but not in the way shown on the fucking show. It is not about pep-talks, but about understanding that investment strategies and trading run counter towards normal thinking methods and emotions and that you have to constantly re-learn yourself doing that. Yes - some get paid a lot, but at the same time keeping her hired while her husband is the biggest prosecutor - this is just nuts. And it bites Axelrod in the ass again and again also in the second season.
Another thing is this
genius Trannie. Trannies are individuals with mental problems - period. They are not gays, who at least partly are born that way. They are psychologically damaged people. They magic Tranny seems to be a super-genius and she is a woman. The difference in raw IQ between the other men at the company - who are all ranging from IQs 130+ - it must be gigantic. I have rarely met women who had higher IQs than me or were at my level. Most men of equal or lower IQ far outperformed them, because they were more dedicated and centered. Now we could argue that the Trannie is a masculine Camille Paglia kind of woman with a high IQ, but do I have to remind everyone that at the very 0,1% of the intelligence spectrum - that there are only men! There are only men and in addition you have the masculine dedication. The magic Trannie would have to have IQ of 250 vs the rest of the crew having 140-180 to even make a meaningful dent in the difference of performance seen on the show. And now Axelrod makes her CIO all while knowing that the Trannie was an OccupyWallstreet supporter!!!!
The show is unbearable to watch for anyone who ever worked in the field and for everyone who ever wants to work in the still masculine Hedge Fund business. It is dumb, it is idiotic, it is feminist centered, it is SJWs centered (they are now their CIO) - it is a moronic fuckpiece of Hollywood that ruins everything.
The lack of Jews is of course telling as well - the place would be 30-40% Jewish, some shops like the one scam set up by Jordan Belfort (Wolf of Wallstreet) was close to 100% Jewish, but of course you get a high percentage of Hebrew brothers there - as you should. It is not only IQ, but also interest, family, connections - all those factors combined usually result in such a makeup of staff. But I guess they did not want to make it appear too dirty (since Axelrod is shop seemingly surviving only on illegal activity) and since they are setting Axelrod in Feminist Tranny Fantasyland, then I guess this is a minor point of critique anyway.

Right - it is bullshit. And don't even get me started about Rhoades sacrificing his entire trust-fund and maybe tens of millions of his father's money in order to get Axelrod. Yeah - it makes for a funny plot-line, but the sheer extent of the manipulation is already way beyond insider trading. If Axelrod is willing to risk that much and do that much, then why not become a mobster and deal with cocaine - he could just as well start killing people and open up a cocaine cartel. Sure - one could argue that Rhoades could easily quit his job and get a job as a lawyer/lobbyist for 5 mio. $/ year and that could financially save him, but still - this kind of move is too much even for him. He may never see the money back. Never mind that such a sabotage move by Axelrod could incredibly easy fall apart, since so many people are involved. All people concerned would literally have to be set for life and disappear to Argentina within 24 hours after happening. But clearly that is not happening.
Ah well - more bullshit on top of bullshit.
