Ballers, The Night Of, Vice Principals
While there are live+same day ratings posted for HBO shows over the course of the year, these numbers are always clearly deceptive in terms of total audiences. After all, the majority of the subscribers who have the network likely have either HBO GO or a DVR, and can watch the shows whenever they want. Therefore, […]
Ballers, Ballers season 2 review
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 […]
There are a couple of things that we continue to find interesting about HBO’s “Ballers,” and one of them is that they do continue to strive for authenticity in every way that they can. Why else would you have a guy like Rashard Mendenhall on the show? The former NFL running back has been in the […]
The second season of “Ballers” continues to heat up hotter than the Miami sun, and on Sunday night’s new episode (entitled “Saturdayz”), the challenge may be rather simple: Make a good enough half-hour that we forget about your show doing the annoying thing where you stick a Z at the end of a word and […]
Ballers, Ballers season 2 review
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 […]

Over the past several episodes of “Ballers” on HBO, Spencer Strasmore has faced on particular struggle more so than any other: Prescription drugs. He has been using them to keep going, and getting them refilled constantly without much of an explanation as to why. Basically, he’s dancing around the issue that is right in front 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 […]
On Sunday night’s new episode of “Ballers,” we saw a little bit of comedy … and also plenty of important drama as the show starts to push more towards whatever its season 2 endgame is. For starters, we’re going to see Ricky try to push Charles into what could be another big phase of his […]
While Andre has yet to show himself to be the flashiest villain in the world on HBO’s “Ballers,” he has proved to be something equally dangerous: Incredibly good at his job. He is powerful, and a significant threat to Spencer Strasmore, because of what he can do. He may not have the playing experience and […]
