Even though I can't ever get enough of Damian Lewis scheming and Paul Giamatti growling this would have been much better if the two main actors were swapped.

As it is you have high quality actors doing high quality acting and it's all a bit meh.

I love Damian Lewis, but I couldn't bring myself to really pay attention to the entire thing. I think I still feel too ragey about the Wall Street 1% types to want to spend an hour a week with them, even if I'm supposed to be rooting for their downfall.

I hated it at first but it's growing on me.
