Ballers tv series

"Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson’s is magnetic as Spencer Strasmore (...) That’s not to take anything away from the supporting players; if Johnson is the quarterback, they’re the necessary fullbacks, tackles and tight ends that make the team whole." 

"'Ballers' isn’t savvy enough about its subject matter to leave a mark. Sure, it’s easy enough to watch, but almost wholly inconsequential, and forgotten as soon as the final gun sounds." 

"It’s hard to tell whether 'Ballers' means to make the high life seem as rote and empty as it does (...), but the show and its actors are so much better when zooming in on serious matters." 

"The pace is steady. The characters feel authentic. And The Rock carries the rest with an addictive swagger and occasional intimacy." 

"[An] unrewarding, predictable drama, though the writers occasionally try for better."
