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

It's not even about being hard to please, the show is just pretty lax right now. Two episodes and I'm besides dealing with lazy and droll writing. The Rock is a charming dude, but he's no Ari Gold, he can't really sell anything besides looking good in a suit. I don't care an inch for the side characters and the plot is boring. I'm assuming they're gonna make Dwayne either a piece of shyt or the golden boy, but even then as much as I liked Entourage I only tuned in for Ari.

I see that alot on here, while he was the standout character, he was always a bonus to me... but I cant disagree with you about this show, Entourage already did that, even How to make it inAmerica failed using that blueprint.. there needs to be something else ooutside the basic plot to keep me interested. Like somebody needs to have a secret agenda or somthing.. then again most if not every show I have ever seen, starts out super slow..

I watched the first two eps. My thoughts:

-They should have just used the instrumental for the theme song. I love that song and Drake verse but it gets played out really quick
-"Of course he's gonna have problems his name is Jamarcus" - shyt made me go
-This show only needs to be 30 minutes. They just need to tighten up the story lines and they'll be good.
-Denzel's son talks and sounds JUST like his father in some scenes. It's crazy considering he doesn't look like him much.
-You guys need to stop overanalyzing this simple ass show and give it time.

Has anybody made a Tsu Surf/Reggie joke yet? They look alike.

Yea its only episode 2, I agree its nothing special yet, but you have to give it a few episodes to see what else they have in store..

I never saw Entourage and don't want to so I don't compare the shows and it doesn't mean a fukking thing to me. The thrill is if Rock can put this shyt together before he loses out and looks like a complete fool.

Why does one of the main black characters have to have a white girlfriend tho? I was about to cut this shyt off just because of that shyt. Two episodes in and the WR is fukking with two white chicks off the bat.

WTF

"Not my J's"



He's really Denzel's son. Like I know he is but that scene right there was so Denzel.
