Ballers
I assumed this would suck but upon further review: this show rules.
It stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as a retired football star trying to start a second career as a financial manager, goaded by his boss -- played by Rob Corddry -- to "monetize" his friendships. Who else is on this?

Hey, by the way who's Curt?
Re: Ballers
I've been in all season. I never watched Entourage, so I can't compare it to that. I'm not a football fan, so I miss a lot of the cameo appearances until the credits roll and I recognize one or 2 players names. Still, I like it a lot. Looking forward to the season finale tonight.

It's just a good fun 30 minutes of mindless fun. I thoroughly enjoyed it for what its worth.

Re: Ballers
This show is everything bad about entourage with a sports twist and amplified to be updated to current times. It's an abomination.
Re: Ballers
^I'd argue it's all the good parts of entourage. More likable characters and it's about sports instead of cornball ass actors. It should not be taken seriously but it's definitely not as bad as entourage.

Re: Ballers
i never saw Entourage. The plot of 5, white, metro-sexual doods acting like women never appealed to me

Re: Ballers
At least the characters of entourage were more fleshed out, does ballers even have a comic relief (drama)? I've only seen the pilot episode of ballers...
Re: Ballers
Maybe give more than the pilot a whirl before speaking on it. You could knock it out in one sitting.

anyway, as much as I despise the Reggie character, showed ended on a high note. I'm in for season 2.
Re: Ballers
I really wanted to like it. The Rock and Rob Cordry should be enough for me, but the writing is so predicatble. The hatable characters are too hatable. Pretty much every character is the dumbest human being.
Gave up after four episodes but maybe I'll go back to it with a shitty respect for what it is. Yeah. Probably will.

Re: Ballers
Yea, I thought I would be able to hate watch this in the same vein as entourage (especially the later seasons), but I ended up just hating it so much that it was basically unwatchable for me. Maybe I'll give a few more episodes a chance like block suggested, but it's not on top of my to do list...T Rav wrote:I really wanted to like it.

Agreed. It is garbage television, but nonetheless, it's decent enough filler until GoT. Plus there is v nice trim to look at on the reg. Although where they did throw me off is that I was so sure that Cowboy bound dude's homeboy was behind the blackmailing photo's. Writing could definitely use a spark though, and whoever wrote all that Ari Gold gold needs to come back and create a new ultra dick character and bring that element if this show wants to see more than 2 seasons.

Re: Ballers

Re: Ballers
Bailed on this show after watching the first few episodes and literally nothing interesting or funny had happened yet.
Entourage ended up terrible but the first few seasons were legitimately entertaining. This show wishes it were half as good.
Such a waste of the Rock and Corrdry's talents.

I spend a decent amount of time on the train commuting to work, it's just a good way to kill 30 minutes. Better than some of the other garbage I've been watching.Philaflava wrote:It's just a good fun 30 minutes of mindless fun. I thoroughly enjoyed it for what its worth.
