HBO's "Ballers" Season 1 Thread; Produced by The Rock & Mark Wahlberg

[The Devil's Advocate]

That felt like the season finale of a show that wasn't sure if it was getting renewed for a 2nd season, and we know that wasn't the case. Felt way too neat and clean for my taste, everybody winning.

you never seen entourage? same people making this show and they NEVER ended on any drama... always worked out perfectly

these shows are just ooooooo and ahhhhhhh about industries we usually don't get behind the scenes, R rated, access to... like hollywood, nfl

look at the cars, look at the bytches, oh they name dropped somebody real, oh they talked about a real situation, hey there's somebody famous, play some rap, add more bytches, ok a little drama, ok fukk that back to winning....


rinse wash repeat for 7 seasons

 

[Mook]

Whats going on in episode 8, what kind of SJW shyt is this.

 

[Captain Crunch]

They need NBA players/clients, NBA players are a lot more personable.

Strip club scenes with Harden and JR

Ricky's dad is an old school player, I was expecting him to pull out a Kool cigarette at some point

 

[Roid Jones]

Spence done came up grand office big enough to smash chicks in, a speed boat and a loyal assistant

Vernon about to eat real good, better start laying down some ground rules to his family

Reggie was on such a good villain path, I wanted to see him get rock bottomed

Ricky is a damn fool for that entrance, good to see his growth hope he gets Bella back

Thought the cliffhanger would be Spence pondering which way to go, I still expect Joe to fukk things up next season

Soundtrack dope as usual

Yea it was basically some Entourage shyt, I was hoping that with a new show, albeit built off the same kind of template, that at least they would be able to switch some shyt up and not follow the same formula. Guess not.

Eh,it was an alright finale.

Overall I give the season a 7.5/10

First 7 episodes was like...

Then last 3 was like...

First 7 episodes was like...

Then last 3 was like...

Exactly how I felt. It kept getting better and better then all of a sudden it just got kinda boring and safe. Very anti climatic.

Maybe Im jaded but every single story line being wrapped up with a happy bow on top did nothing for me.

I agree with everything you posted. I'll watch next season but I just didn't feel any of the ending.

 

[Ricky Church]

R.J. went hard with Denzel's mannerisms throughout that whole restaurant scene. Like father, like son.

goodell made the call

 

[detroitwalt]

Those lamb chops they had in that's season were huge as fukk. Damn they looked good

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

Why didn't show Arielle Kebbel ass or t*ts?

This is going to sound gay but The Rock's ass looked CGIed.

 

[R=G]

Some of you little nyggas gonna have to calm the fukk down..getting way out of control. The finale sewed everything up...Rock is balling and so is Vernon. Reggie ducked the bullet for now...no Bella shot though.....

 

[iBrowse]

That finale was needed after that depressing shyt from True Detective...

 

[Lootpack]

That finale was pretty lame. Stick fukks with the show tho.

good to see his growth hope he gets Bella back

Hope he gets her back too. I wonder why they didn't touch on this more in the finale.
