This sounds too much like Billions season 5 episode 7. Uncanny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtJNljm1pVs

Is that clip indicative of the quality of the show?

Currently, yes. The first season was _much_ better, and there has been a decline (at first steep, then gradual and consistent) with each season since then.

This was the last episode they aired due to COVID-related production shutdown. They're supposed to finish this season and do another, but I wonder if the show might just shut down quietly at this point.

It was initially based on a true story described in the book "Black Edge". It just kept getting more and more outlandish once they ran out of source material.
