Good premiere episode. Definitely going to check out the next one.

Really liked it. Johnson was great. He was quite funny.

it was definitely like a sports version of Entourage.

Liked the cameos of Don Shula and Larry Csonka.

If you're not a sports fan or a fan of Johnson, I can see some not really relating to this show. It's definitely geared as sort of a parody on sports athletes and their agents like Entourage was to actors, their agents.

this is basically Entourage hip hop culture style... no thanks.

The Rock > Jeremy Piven

Great pilot and has potential to be great. Looking forward to it

An explanation on how the show/HBO can use NFL logos without the league's permission.

The rest of Entourage aside, Ari Gold is a fantastic character.

"Ballers" was a little better than I expected. Entourage meets Hard Knocks.

I heard someone today make that exact comparison and I agree completely with it.

For those that missed it:

The Rock was nice enough to upload the first episode on his Facebook page.

Am I just not looking hard enough or did it get taken down?

Its the next post down. Episode plays after Rock's thankful message.

Fun episode tonight. Just the guys and lots of girls having a gigantic corporate party. This episode makes me want to travel to Miami. So much eye candy there. This show does a good job casting hot chick background actors.

At least we know why Jerret's teammate Alonzo hates from tonight's actions.

Really enjoying seeing where this show goes... I hope rock sticks with it though if it continues for years.

eightslicesofpie · 07-06-2015, 02:34 PM

Still pretty lukewarm on both this and The Brink

LucasEatWorld · 07-06-2015, 04:01 PM

Dan LeBatard as the hipster groupie smoking the cigar was hilarious. Also pretty sure I saw Jeremy Shockey on the boat as well. Overall good episode though. Probably best one yet. Although Reggie's character annoys the shit out of me. But Jarrett's line of "MOTHER ****ER" followed by Rock's response was on point.

Kind of an odd appearance by Laura Vandervoort last night. She was pretty much just an extra. I know she's not a massive star, but she's the lead in a current show and has worked a lot and I'd think she's past the point of her career where she would take such a nothing role, which makes me wonder if her character might appear again in a bigger role.

Yeah when I saw her credited at the end, I had to rewind the recording to see where she was.

Agent Bond · 07-09-2015, 06:28 AM

Can't wait for Reggie to get his ass beat!

Ballers has been renewed for a second season. The show's ratings haven't been great but it seems likely that HBO will keep the show going as long as Dwayne Johnson wants.
