Brilliant Show
RiverTree18 July 2016
Billy & Billie is a brilliant show.

Hands down a brilliant show, it is such a pity that it didn't end up continuing for a second season. No I don't count the 'Incesticide' episode.

The first season was amazing, it was quirky and very out there. I loved the characters, I loved the writing. Hell I loved the short episodes.

It makes me wonder what they would have managed if they had actually gone on to do a second season. The incesticide episode was funny but rushed, trying far to hard to tie up all the loose ends and end the story as quickly as possible. After the bombshell ending of the first season I found the hour long finale lacking.

It is a pity. It had so much potential.

I'd recommend watching the first season but giving the Incesticide episode a miss.

Over all a stellar show.

Slow start but worth the watch

After the first two episodes I considered finding something else, but was really glad I didn't in the end. Loved Adam Brody in this and enjoyed the hooks and turns.

Very different format, but once you're in, there's no stopping.

A show about a taboo relationship which is lighthearted
askarim4-913-20038825 March 2020
This show was very entertaining and enjoyable. A show about a taboo relationship which features two step siblings who fall in love with each other. After accidentally sleeping together after reconnecting at a reunion, Billy and Billie can't stop seeing each other. They have great chemistry on screen and the touch of sarcastic humour completes the show. I would have loved there to be another season, however the one season with each episode being only 20-30 minutes still gives the audience everything it requires. A great story, great performances and an ending which leaves you salivating for more.

Best sleeper show in years
charmby2 April 2015
What a stunner of a show. I'm glad I didn't overlook it as it's now one of my all time favorite series. The witty dialog and the casting of Adam Brody and Lisa Joyce as the main characters is genius. Have enjoyed each episode and it keeps getting better and better. The closing scene in episode 5 was the most emotionally erotic in memory.

Hopefully, Audience Network will release Billy and Billie on iTunes, Netflix, Amazon or even DVD at the conclusion of season one. It and Lisa Joyce (unknown to me prior to this show) are deserving of a much larger audience., And Neil La Brute is a writer to follow in the future.

Pretty good - has potential. Good chemistry between the leads.
marshallweb20 March 2015
Watched the first couple episodes - has real potential. A man and a woman meet after many years of not seeing each other, problem is they are step brother and sister (not blood relatives). They have a tenuous start to their relationship but decide to pursue it at the end.

Has some "Curb Your Enthusiasm" type humor, good pathos, and you can actually connect with the lead characters.

Adam Brody (The O.C., Gilmore Girls) is the lead male and Lisa Joyce (Boardwalk Empire, Law and Order) is the female lead. Language is a bit crude at times (it is targeted for a young adult audience.) If you see it give it a whole episode to connect with it before rating it.

Such a hidden gem!
razshuty15 August 2015
Hiding under this really stupid title "Billy & Billie" a real gem! funny, weird, real and beautiful!!!

There will NO SPOILERS HERE! I won't even write the premise, try to watch it without knowing what it is about! the first episode is much more enjoyable like that...

This show should be better known and hopefully it will find it self on amazon, Netflix, iTunes and so, because it deserves to be recognized and watched!

The two leads have a great chemistry together, honestly great casting! I really liked Adam Brody, I never heard of Lisa Joyce prior to the show - and SHE IS AMAZING! she is plays her character so interestingly.

The show is a "Rom-com" type, but very complexed and sometimes more deep then you would imagined.

A masterpiece!

Best Show in a long time FRESH. Nothing else like it!
slarson-007066 September 2015
Warning: Spoilers
The casting is what makes this show work. Adam Brody and Lisa Joyce are magic together. Lisa Joyce is mesmerizing to watch. She has "IT" in spades. Why have I never heard of her before? As step siblings who fell in love the dialog is hilarious! It's not insulting to my intelligence and it is addictive. I cannot wait for the next season. I cannot wait to see how their dysfunctional family handles the next steps to come as the story further unfolds.

Thank you Audience network for coloring outside the lines! Lisa Joyce has comedic timing and style that is new and refreshing. So enjoyable to watch.

A show that everyone should watch.
martinezfontanez29 July 2019
My only complaint is: HOW has THIS SHOW NOT been RENEWED?

I enjoyed every minute of it. So wonderful to watch. The actors were great. I finished watching it two days ago, and I miss you already.

A show that keeps it real keeps every moment entertaining and thoughtful
Cimta-11 December 2015
Really, this is a show that keeps it real, yet somehow still keeps every moment entertaining and thoughtful. It's also hilarious without ever going over the top until the season finale. The fact that it's only 10 episodes long so far is a travesty, but the great news is that they're all quality episodes. The show doesn't feel like anyone is acting for the most part, and the subtleties are subtle and aren't ever thrown in your face. I hope we see more episodes, but I'm not sure what Direct TV was looking for when they made this show. Either way they made something worth watching that isn't nearly as trite as most of the shows on television these days. That is a win, and this show should be continued.

Truly great find! TV at it's best!!!
KimKrak8 December 2015
Stumbled across this show on Stan. (Australian Movie/TV streaming website) and got hooked after the first episode.

Basically it's a rom/com but it's presented in a format and style I've not seen before. It can appear a little mundane at first but once you give it a chance, it really outperforms some of the other series in this genre!

It's funny whilst also being "real", a truly great combination! The lead performances are absolutely brilliant and are what made this stand out for me!!!

Only one thing to point out and that is the language may be offensive at times, but it is not over the top and actually suits the characters and situations.

Hope there are further series to come! Cant wait...
