Young Rock

I previously read some of Dwayne Johnson's Life story and this TV series is allowing him to re-tell his childhood and his rise to stardom as an athlete and movie star bar none from his early wins and losses with his own words.

Prediction: I wouldn't put it past Dwayne Johnson that he may just actually run for the U. S. Presidency and get in to the Oval office in the next 8-12 years.

Some may scoff at the retro feel of the Rocks young adult life and his stylish clothes of the 1980-90's but for those IMDB reviewers who are far too fast in mocking the Young Rock I have just one question for you? Can you not smell what the Rock is cooking?

I give it a 9 out of 10 IMDB rating and yes, I want to see more.

I think younger people might not appreciate or understand some of this show. I get it and really want more. I like the rock and look forward to learning more about him.

...This feels like one giant ego stroke. Not to say the program is bad per se but a lot of it feels like a generic product that's sole purpose is to promote its star and raise more awareness of its network instead of something from the heart. Some of the casting choices work pretty well others not so much, the tone keeps shifting from light comedy to light drama. Maybe I am being too picky because its just an observation from the first episode, but so far I am not impressed and I say this as someone who loves pro wrestling and been a fan of Dwayne Johnson since childhood.

Found this on my dvr that records all prime time shows. Thought it was going to be awful because, while I like the rock, frankly I don't like his movies. I did like ballers but that's about it. Decided to give it a shot while I was folding laundry and surprisingly liked it. Looking forward to the next episodes but going into it with zero expectations is the way to go.

I really enjoy this show. I like the different stages of his life portrayed and I really enjoy the stories being told. He had a very interesting childhood. Great show.
