Review of Ballers

Ballers (2015–2019)
6/10
Good Start but nothing Extraordinary...

Dwayne Johnson is the only reason I watched the pilot of show. I think he is going to be the man around whom the story will revolve.

Story depicts post retirement life of players of an American Football team. Things which I could understand was that Dwayne had very huge talent and potential as a player but somehow he could not achieve stardom or get respect that he should have got during his playing days. So now he is trying to come to terms with life after football which seems to be very difficult for him.

This is first time I can see Dwayne has a chance to showcase acting skills which were surprisingly good. Rest of the cast is bearable and I have got nothing much to say about them. Direction has to improve a lot as first episode was not up to HBO standards for example "Game of Thrones" and "True Detective".

My final take will be its a passable show but you can give it a try to decide if you want to continue.
