Ballers

I wanted to like the show right off the start. I dam into the show a little late but thanks to being able binge watching, I got catch up in no time. First couple of seasons were great. Just enough drama mixed with some real funny moments. During season 3, they mixed in some social justice issues. Played well, but you knew what was coming in season four. Full court press of Hollywood liberal BS. Season 5 is terrible. The time lines between seasons 1-3 are fine but between season 4-5 aren't explained. Season 5 is only 8 episodes long and they skimmed over some character issues, dived into areas than made no sense. Wrapped up some items forgot about others.

So i watched all 5 seasons of Ballers, and i really liked this show but... it's also a show that doesn't know what it wants to be.

It started as a comedy, and it was good but at some point it became much more serious and darker.

I don't mind that they wanted to tackle some more serious issues, but i think they lost a lot of their audience at that point because that's not most people were watching the show.

Also, i really don't like how so much happens off the screen between seasons. I like it more when a new season starts when the last one ended, or it's like you've missed a bunch of episodes.

I really enjoyed Ballers as it was such a fun show and I already miss it! The Rock and Rob Corddry lead an excellent cast with a lot of amazing cameos throughout the series! It's about a former superstar football player named Spencer Strasmore (The Rock) who becomes a financial advisor/manager to other NFL players. Along with his partner Joe (Rob Corddry) they become very successful and start their own company in Miami. Even though Joe warns him not to he becomes much more than just an financial advisor to his players and helps them with their lives and all the problems they get into to. It's a lot like Entourage and even though it wasn't quite as good as that it's still absolutely worth watching!

Ballers is better than what the mixed reviews would have you believe. It's a very watchable series about the world athletes live in and the agents, financial advisors and other professionals who help them get through it. The best thing about this series is the strong cast and writing. Dwayne Johnson and Rob Cordrry have great chemistry together as the leads. There are also plenty of big name cameos that pop up all the time. The music is also top notch, bringing even more excitement to each episode. This is a very easy watch with the perfect amount of drama and comedy for a show like this. If you're looking for a new series to binge then give this a try.

This is a show that deserves at least a 7.5 - 8.0. There's no show out there like it really right now. The actors are good, im not just talking about Dwayne Johnson but everyone else. They just go good with this show & what its about.

I like shows like The League & I do like football so this does interest me but I do truthfully think even if you're not totally into football you would still like this for what it has to offer. It does obviously take a certain taste but its pretty common comedy so a lot would like it. Its not amazing or a Must Watch!!! but its worth it in my opinion. They cancelled a show that I did like the pilot of which was The Rebels which is also about football & its funny. It's good to see another one come along & hopefully it can remain around.
