The Puerto Rico Trench is 497 miles (800 km) long with a maximum depth of 26,247 feet (8,000 m) at Milwaukee Deep. Puerto Rico is surrounded by some very deep waters, including the Puerto Rico Trench, which is the deepest trench in the Atlantic Ocean, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The nearby Mona Passage is a key shipping lane to the Panama Canal, according to the CIA. It is only 7 miles by 4 miles (11 by 7 km) and is a protected nature preserve. The island of Mona lies 41 miles (66 km) west of the main island. About 9 miles north of Vieques is Culebra, which is approximately 7 miles (11.3 km) by 5 miles (8 km). Vieques lies about 7 miles (11.3 km) east of the main island and is approximately 21 miles (33.8 km) long by 4 miles (6.4 km) wide.

Several small offshore islands are part of Puerto Rico, but only two are inhabited year-round: Vieques and Culebra. It is also almost twice the size of Delaware. The main island of Puerto Rico is about 110 miles (177 km) long (west to east) and 35 miles (56.3 km) wide (north to south), and covers 3,515 square miles (9,104 square km) - slightly less than three times the size of Rhode Island, according to the Central Intelligence Agency. Instead of simply saying someone dominated a situation, a character (it seemed to rotate among ALL of them) would say something like, 'He was in charge of that situation like Bob Gibson was when he went through the Red Sox lineup.'Ī very disappointing conclusion to a series that had started tremendously.Puerto Rico consists of the main island and several smaller islands, including Mona to the west, and Vieques and Culebra to the east. It was also annoying throughout the series to have ALL characters make cultural and literary references that were probably not understood by much of the audience. Without providing any details that could be considered spoilers, it was difficult to imagine a sudden total cohesion of disparate characters to coalesce for whatever reason. The final episode was a 'good' conclusion to the series, but it seemed wholly unrealistic. The character lacked the interest that Axelrod had engendered. The character of Mike Prince was added in response, but it was totally inadequate.

His portrayal of Bobby Axelrod was the key to the series. This was worsened when Damian Lewis decided to take some time off from the show. As often seems to happen, the creators then seemed to not know where to take the series. The first season of Billions was gripping and addictive television.
