Billions | Taylor Mason’s Most Brilliant Moments Ever | SHOWTIME on Paramount+

SHOWTIME posted three clips in seven days, and each one dips into a different corner of the network's library.

The busiest is a Billions compilation of Taylor Mason, the hedge fund prodigy played by Asia Kate Dillon. The description runs from Taylor setting their own salary terms with Damian Lewis's Bobby Axelrod to spotting a poker dealer's hidden flaw under pressure, and it pitches Taylor as always five steps ahead. A Fellow Travelers short came out the same day: Matt Bomer's Hawk and Jonathan Bailey's Tim on a park bench in McCarthy-era Washington, where a warning about park police quotas turns into a line that leaves Tim blushing. Dexter: Resurrection rounded out the week with the Tattoo Killer strapped to Dexter's table, learning that tonight is indeed the night.

None of the three drew a big crowd on its own. The channel was busy anyway, running at roughly 220,000 views a day, well above its usual level. Part of that comes from the back catalog. A nine-day-old L Word clip, the Season 4 basketball game against Papi's team, set off by the question of whether Tina still counts as one of the girls now that she is dating a man, is still being found. The subscriber count held at 1.3 million.

Among the TV network channels around its size, NBC and Channel 4.0 are having the loud weeks. Dexter Official, home of SHOWTIME's own famous killer, is running at close to twice its usual pace, while Friends and FOX are quieter than normal.
