OK start to the show. So what is the relationship between the rock and Ricky at the beginning? He didn't become his financial advisor until the very end. Same question about his relationship with the dude that asked him for 300k. Just a homie?

 

[Wise]

Show is fire. The chicks are bad as hell.

Crazy how Denzel's son a NFL draft pick who never suited up got a lead role on a HBO show. Connections.

In for the season off the strength of the pilot

White women are #1 killer of Black men so far

Son of out here putting in work, too

1st episode was solid, the women on the show

I didn't laugh a lot, so I hope it gets funnier. The Entourage comparisons are obvious, but it also reminds me a lot of Survivor's Remorse on Starz which is a slept on show.

Rock looking at the ATM like at the end of the episode.

Agreed - this had a better pilot though - Survivors Remorse felt like it had the pieces, but they didn't figure out what to do with them til later in the season.

 

[Ari Gold Bawse]

my kind of show

HBO GOATing it up as usual in the summer period

the sports version of entourage has arrived

:dangelo:

 

[Soundbwoy]

The Hannibal thread is at least active so I can understand that. Humans hasn't even premiered yet (UK don't count) and that Tyrant thread was created a couple months ago and only has 70 replies. Tyrant and Humans needs to

neither we can take out the Jurassic parc thread

 

[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

Seeing Miami as the location is

Adults playground That fat dudes wife could get it

 

[Black Samurai]

[Brady-Carter]

Dope first ep..

OK start to the show. So what is the relationship between the rock and Ricky at the beginning? He didn't become his financial advisor until the very end. Same question about his relationship with the dude that asked him for 300k. Just a homie?

He was the older dude on the team. Kind of like a big brother figure to them. That's what I got out of it anyways.

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

They're gonna need an Ari Gold or Johnny Drama character in order for this to survive.

Not in the sense of a copy of those guys, but in the sense of a character that has the audience like every time they're on the screen. We're expecting ridiculousness and fukkery, so I hope it delivers without worrying about the critics. Right now, it's looking like Denzel's son is gonna be the closest to that.


Through one episode, Survivor's Remorse > Ballers
