Ballers season 2 review

For most of “Ballers” season 2, the primary point of discussion surrounding Spencer Strasmore has been fairly simple: Is there a way for redemption to come his way? He did what he could to secure the funds necessary to purchase ASM, but in the process he was completely mortgaging the future of his one-time clients […]

After getting little bits and pieces of the relationship between Spencer Strasmore and Andre Allen all season long on HBO’s “Ballers,” Sunday night’s penultimate episode of season 2 finally blew everything up. We now understand more about what happened to get us to this point, and precisely how much trouble Spencer could be in moving […]

At the end of the last new episode of “Ballers,” we saw Spencer Strasmore be hit with one of the biggest setbacks of his entire career, whether it be on or off the field. He lost his job at ASM thanks to his past, and for most of tonight, we saw the character in general […]

For most of “Ballers” season 2, we’ve waited for the moment where everything would come crashing down for Spencer Strasmore. On Sunday night’s new episode, we saw this happen. Not only that, but we saw how it came about. The episode started with some major distrust between Joe and Spencer, something that began last week […]

Whether or not Sunday night’s new episode of “Ballers” can be considered the funniest episode of the season is most likely up for debate, but there is one thing that we do know: It is certainly one of the most authentic. Every storyline over the course of the half-hour contained moments that we could see […]

On Sunday night’s new episode of “Ballers,” we saw Spencer Strasmore start to unravel in a way that we haven’t quite seen so far. While he’s sort-of keeping it together on the surface, we’re getting more and more of an indication that this is not going to last too much longer. The first bit of […]

“Ballers” season 2 sometimes has so much going on, especially for a comedy, that it often struggles to keep itself together. There were a few moments that this happened tonight, given that we had everything from Ricky’s family time to Charles getting cut to Tracy getting a new job opportunity to Spencer versus Andre to […]

If there is one thing that Ricky Jerret wanted above all else on Sunday night’s “Ballers,” it was rather simple: Love, and plenty of it. Clearly, this is a man whose love language is validation! There have been many times in which we’ve commented on how the HBO comedy does a great job of being […]

At the center of HBO’s “Ballers” is a man in Spencer Strasmore who is charismatic on outstanding levels. There are many reasons fans worship him, and kids growing up probably want to be like him. He’s that rare guy who gets almost everything that he wants, but then still finds a way to strive for […]

One of the things that we’ll give “Ballers” at present the most credit for is trying to be as authentic as possible when it comes to its storytelling. If you want to see real NFL talent integrated into a show all about the subject matter, you don’t really have to look any further than here. […]
