    I like the show for what it is. But I can admit its not the greatest.

    The scenes with Taylor and the ADA were painful.

    Really not sure what I was watching starting with that sequence at the airport. I assume this is not so subtly setting us up for something soon or next season where Taylor is involved with the DA office and Claxon.

    Good episode, please do better than some shitty U2 song at the end though.

    So...about his money. Did he manage to get some of it out? Or was his loss part of the ruse? Cause that's cold.

    I think he's out. He wasn't aware his old man doubles down around $30.

    Theoretically the stock would shoot back up when the public learns what Axe did, so he could be planning to make it back that way.

    Last ep was 100% :ohholkyfuck: for me.

    This was my first thought.

    He better move quick then because the company might be gone soon with the way they got hit.

    Wow, yeah no way Axe makes it outta this one. He's caught red handed... . it'll be interesting to see if old Rhodes lost all that money and miss Rhodes is caught up in all of this. Crazy

    his wife shorted it too, wouldn't she be busted for insider trading as well since she got the info at Axe Cap if Rhodes goes forward with it?

    also this has already been renewed for a 3rd season so gotta think Axe weasels out of it imo

    Hard to imagine someone blowing their entire trust fund to put someone in jail. He's used to a lifestyle he won't be able to afford anymore.

    I bet he thinks the old lady and him are getting back together, and she has money so why not. He's going to be in for a surprise when he finds out she in it to.

    Didn't think of this. It could be Axe's play to get out of it.

    I hope Chuck realizes she's in over her head and is so cold that he takes her down. He has started down the path to the dark side after all.

    He fucked over his best friend(I think) and father in the show, he doesn't care about anything but his version of power.

    Season 2 is a million x better than season 1. Of course Axe will get out of it, him in prison does nothing for this show.

    Maybe he doesn't go to jail forever but Axe is going to have to be in some trouble for once. He hasn't really felt too much pain throughout the show and Chuck had his down and out moment early this season. Time for Axe to go through some shit.

    Chuck doesn't give a shit about the money in his trust. He has lived his whole adult life without that money. He craves power and, most of all, winning.

    As said above, he viewed his father and best friend as expendable in his game to finally get Axelrod. The money was just another piece of it. I would imagine a part of him is relieved to not even have the trust hanging over him as he advances in his political career. That money did nothing to help him accomplish his goals.

    Finished the first two seasons. Thoroughly enjoy the show. I'm not near as harsh of a critic as some, apparently. Not everything has to be True Detective S1 for me.
