Ballers on HBO starring Dwayne Johnson. The fifth and final season begins tomorrow. Any other fans of this series?
One and that was more than enough. It seemed like Dwayne Johnson's version of "Entourage" (which I never liked).
It really picks up in Season 2&3. I tried 3 times to get into Entourage at the insistence of friends who thought I’d love it. Could never make it through a few episodes. I see Ballers as more like Californiacation.
Ballers has strong pedigree. With Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights) and Mark Wahlberg (Entourage) in the mix! Berg has a long history of great sports-related projects and Wahlberg has a feel for the 'behind-the-scenes' type shows. The series has had its highs and lows, I personally prefer the 1st few seasons. Should be noted that although it isn't the primary focus of the show, the ugly reality of the NFL is often touched on. I find this to be commendable.
I’ll give it another go, I guess. I really hated “Entourage”. But I respect your suggestions and opinions enough to give this another whirl.
I gave up on this show halfway through the first season. I was a fan of Entourage, but just could not get into this series. I might give it another try.
I’m glad there’s at least a few Ballers fans in the house. I was going to start a thread on Power, another show I love, but won’t since this one bombed.
It has its moments but its not something I give my undivided attention to. More like something I put on, while I'm doing something else with my time, like right now as I'm typing this. The incessant rap crap I find extremely annoying.
