More New Year Weekend Shows

If you are looking for more shows this weekend, assuming you are caught up on everything else, you can start on the second season of Amazon's Mozart in the Jungle (available since yesterday, January 30th).  

And if you want a head start on other shows starting later in January, on New Year's Day you can see the first episode of season six of Showtime's Shameless, which does not officially premiere until January 10th.

And if that is not enough, Showtime will also show the first episode of its new series Billions, starring Paul Giamatti and Damian Lewis, on New Year's Day as well. Again, Billions does officially premiere until January 17th. 

Is that enough? Stay tuned, because I will have more holiday weekend shows to share shortly.

Update:  If you want a little more information about Billions, Showtime provides this helpful trailer and notes:

Shrewd, savvy U.S. Attorney Chuck Rhoades (Giamatti) and the brilliant, ambitious hedge fund king Bobby "Axe" Axelrod (Lewis) are on an explosive collision course, with each using all of his considerable smarts, power and influence to outmaneuver the other. The stakes are in the billions in this timely, provocative series. 

It looks good, as if Oliver Stone's Wall Street was updated and made into a television series.

Second Update: Only two days after the official premiere of Shameless on January 10th the show was approved for a seventh season.  Good news for fans of the show. 

Third Update:  Billions was renewed for a second season after only two episodes. I guess Showtime feels it has a winner, and I have to agree.
