Billions Season 5 resumes tonight on Showtime

No plot spoilers other than they are finishing Season 5 after the Covid related production pause rather than starting Season 6.
In a case like this when production pauses for 15 months, would you write the Covid-19 pandemic into the plot? Would you expect to see people wearing masks on the show?
FYI - Giamatti’s appearance is a bit jarring from the pre-Covid episode. Looks like he lost close to 100 lbs, shaved the beard, and his hair has turned very grey. He’s downright skinny now.
Not sure how they address that or if they gloss over it.
What are you hoping to see as Season 5 wraps up?

Skinny Giamatti is giving me the creeps. Looks like someone with terminal cancer.

Great show but I’m still on season 3.
Giamatti lost noticeable weight the first three seasons. Another 100?

Not quite, but a startling amount between season halves.

Yeah my first thought was whether he is ok.

I quit during season 3 but paramount has all the seasons for a short time so I’m binging from the beginning

Just started watching and in the season 3. I really like the show and hoped it continues to hold up.
Wags is my favorite character by far for sure.

The last few episodes have been a letdown

I don't know, that 10-minute long, mute egg scene was a work of art.

I'm sitting there the whole time just going, WTF is this?? It wasn't even "artistic" it had no meaning, didn't tie in to anything going on, revealed nothing about the characters...
The 3 episodes since restart have been steaming piles of shite. I'm close to bailing. The dialogue on this show is so over the top and pretentious that it's hard to listen to. No one talks like any of these characters in real life.

I deleted it from my season pass a few weeks ago and it’s such a good feeling
Way too many good series to watch

Lost interest when they decided to make Taylor a main character.
She was fine as a secondary character like Dollar Bill but awful in lead

that topless scene gave me nightmares!

It became so eyerolling I couldn't continue to watch. It was actually decent the first two and half seasons because it was all the dirty play that happens in high finance. It became really silly to me for whatever reason. I'm guessing they wrote lots of crypto, NFT stuff into the latest seasons

Yeah. What was that all about? Was it to distract you from the bigger WTF moment.
Am I the only one who thinks it’s out of character for the AG and a multi-billionaire to be firing up a few joints on a random morning? That’s how these people start their day? Who brought the weed in this situation? Why is Pence in his house that early in the morning?
Smoke some weed…inside the house…first thing in the morning…with your kids sleeping in the next room…why was that scene there?!

My take was they were still up from the dinner the night before.
(Ir)Regardless, the breakfast scene was very weird.
