Co-creator Brian Koppelman told Business Insider that the thing that most surprised him in his research was the 'exact level of rigor' that people who work at hedge funds need to employ.
"Billions" is back for its fourth season on Showtime, airing Sundays at 9 p.m.
Co-creator Brian Koppelman told Business Insider last year that the thing that most surprised him in his research was the"exact level of rigor" that people who work at hedge funds need to employ. Creators Brian Koppelman and David Levien have tackled insular communities since writing the hit movie"Rounders" about high-stakes poker in 1998. And to nail the hedge fund world depicted in"Billions," the pair started researching eight or nine years before the show went on the air, they told Business Insider in an interview last year.
But as they were doing research, they learned quite a bit more about how the world of finance, and hedge funds in particular, operates.
