Ballers

The cast is spectacular, and the show delivers. Is it campy? Yes. That doesn't stop it from great character development, and a well delivered story line. It's not Breaking Bad. It's not the Sopranos. It's just a solid series. As much as you'd naturally want to dismiss it, it's actually a really consistently good show.

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.

Glad Ballers is back I don't mind so much of it! Also Rob Corddry is one of my favorite comedic actors for many great movies! The business aspects are very good and done so well; I understand why it's been nominated a few times. It's cool that it's been going strong for a while that's good for everyone involved and to whom enjoy it!

I thought the first 2/3 seasons were really good, a fun show and something different to watch. I love Dwayne Johnson and watch most things he is in but I do think this lost its way in the last couple of seasons and I was disappointed with the end. Worth a watch though if you have nothing else to get stuck into.

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.
