There is still more backstory to explain the bad blood between Andre and Spencer that the season will likely slowly reveal, but so far, the most compelling aspect of their rivalry is the notion that Spencer's real problems might be with himself.July 12, 2016
Make no mistake, this is Johnson's baby. With that all-glowing smile, he brings his A-game to "Ballers" while always managing to look good in a suit. Heck, he even gets off a few playful shots.July 19, 2016
Ballers [is] the completely unfunny saga about a sports agent played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, where seeing NFL stars we're supposed to recognize is meant to be enough of a thrill.September 14, 2016
Ballers Season Two has given audiences a consistently enjoyable, yet forgettable thirty-minute block, carried mostly by the charismatic presence of Dwayne Johnson.July 18, 2016
At the center of it all, of course, is Johnson, transplanting his movie-star charisma to the small screen, while proving himself a more and more adept dramatic performer.July 18, 2016
You expect something more antic. John David Washington, Denzel's son, is notable as a talented wide receiver whose off-season behavior has him searching for a team. After that it's hazy.July 12, 2016
Think of Ballers as a .500 team in TV's comedy standings, which doesn't mean it's a bad show. To the contrary, what's frustrating is how it seems just a new player or two away from a winning record.
