The Rock is one of the lamest celebrities we've ever had


Yet another massive egomaniac propped up by our idol-worshiping culture


This show perpetuates elitism, helping idolize the greed we're taught to respect and admire


Fuck the trailer is like a catalog of complete douchebaggery that makes every single loser in Surrey go "WHOOAAAA COOL BRUH"


People just eat this shit up

It's good mindless TV for 30mins when nothing else is on, hopefully the other episodes are better tho

white rocket 06-23-2015 09:08 AM

^^Bingo!! No one is winning anything from this show but it bridges the gap in the off-season when there's nothing on. Hey look, cool cars, hot chicks, bros partying and some drama. Meh, I'll take it

pilot was pretty damn underwhelming.

i can see Dwayne's character potentially having good depth (suffering some sort of PTSD? did he kill the guy with that tackle?) but so far it just seems super lame. HBO really dumbing it down with this one.

What's your issue with the Rock? Because he's big? Do you know a single thing about him besides that?

from everything i've read and interviews i've seen, dwayne johnson seems like a really humble guy. i also love that hes worth so much damn money and likes to drive an f150 like i have.

He's the peoples champ for that very reason. He has good intentions and actually interacts with the fans.

Not a bad first episode, hopefully it gets better

Renthal 07-01-2015 09:50 AM

second episode was good!
love all the cars in this show

SkinnyPupp 07-01-2015 10:06 AM

I agree it was better

murd0c 07-02-2015 01:20 PM

second episode was way better then the first. Even tho the Rock isn't the greatest actor I still feel for him for some stupid reason

The most emotionally charged moment this show has had so far has been a dude reminiscing over his number... not great. It's easy to see all the parallels to Entourage, but somehow this show just really doesn't achieve the same result as Entourage, and I wish it did.

white rocket 07-03-2015 03:11 PM

Still quite underwhelming.

DGN23 07-03-2015 04:21 PM

Noticed something a little odd in episode 2. They used the same song as episode 2 of entourage when they go buy the Phantom. Its even used at the exact same time in the episode, about 15 or so minutes in. Considering the same people are involved with both shows you'd think they would have caught that and picked a different song. #randomfacts

For reference. Here is the clip from entourage. Song is Work by Gang Star


white rocket 07-03-2015 06:04 PM

^^That clip reminded me how awesome Entourage was and how Ballers is no where near that level.

murd0c 07-06-2015 09:07 AM

What did you guys think of last nights episode? that ending was fricken funny as hell.

gilly 07-07-2015 08:55 AM

Rocky start in the beginning but show is starting to pick up.

white rocket 07-07-2015 09:32 AM

meh, it's kinda alright. I just can't get into any of the characters at all. They all seem average at best. I hope there are some good cameos to make things interesting.

SkinnyPupp 07-07-2015 09:39 AM

There aren't really any likeable characters. Quite the opposite actually

Sid Vicious 07-07-2015 09:42 AM

show sucks balls and i'm a huge NFL fan

stock characters, stock situations that were just ported into the show.

doesn't actually attempt to show the complexities nor art of the game but i guess it has to appeal to the non sports fan crowd

dat_steve 07-07-2015 05:37 PM

it's like the show is trying to be entourage meets wallstreet...except here the rock is slangin mutual funds to cry baby prima donna clients.
