TV: Sunday-Night Scorecard
Billions (pictured): The second season may not have always focused on the feud between Axe and Chuck, but even as other stories populated these past twelve episodes, the driving force was the tension between those two. Much like last season’s finale, “Ball in Hand†pits Axe against Chuck, with an outcome that could change things for both men forever. Grade: A-. The Leftovers: From the two previous episodes of season 3, it’s clear that all is not well between Kevin and Nora. Last night, their relationship exploded Down Under. Grade: B. American Gods: Last week’s series premiere established the unlikely partnership between Shadow and Wednesday. Last night’s episode, “The Secret of Spoons,†was all about introducing us to the other members of this strange world. And boy, are they strange: Grade: B+.
