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 never thought I would watch something like this and I am rating it 8! Also this is my first comment on Imbd. But after a few episodes I couldn't stop. Political, entertaining and touching - not many tv series can do that..

The Rock is amazing as well as most of the actors. All the characters evolve and every episode is taking you to a place where you didn't have a clue about. I have learned something new- thanks.

I only made this review because it might get people who normally wouldn't watch this kind of series to give it a shot. And I don't want to them to miss the chance to see something totally different.

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.

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!
