Ballers, Ballers season 2 review
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 […]
Throughout what we’ve seen on HBO’s “Ballers” so far, one thing remains perfectly clear: Spencer is a guy who pretty much always has his hands full with one problem or another. Sometimes, it is amazing that the guy doesn’t topple over! We almost wish that he would, not so much because we’re rooting against him, […]
Fans of Dwayne Johnson everywhere, celebrate! The actor’s HBO series “Ballers” has scored a season 3 renewal, and it has remarkably done that just two episodes into its second go-around on the air. In a statement Thursday, HBO confirmed that they are bringing the series back for another batch of episodes, with programming head Casey […]
While we are not going to admit that Sunday night’s new episode of “Ballers” was the splashiest one in the world, there was at least one event over the course of the half-hour that could have far-reaching implications the rest of the season: Vernon’s injury, and playing paintball, no less. There are certain injuries that […]
Ballers, Ballers season 2 review
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 […]
There are several different storylines unfolding at the moment on “Ballers” season 2, whether it be Spencer Strasmore’s new business rival Andre, Ricky Jerret facing an uncertain career with the Miami Dolphins, and even the continuing journey of Charles Greene out of retirement and on to the field. Yet, we’re still finding ourselves mostly preoccupied […]
There are several new episodes of “Ballers” season 2 running through the month of August, and as we get further and further in, one thing feels thoroughly clear: We’re only going to see an expansion of conflict between Spencer Strasmore (Dwayne Johnson) and his rival Andre (Andy Garcia). These guys are both titans in their […]
Ballers, The Night Of, Vice Principals
We already know that “Power” season 3 set some ratings records over on Starz for its premiere on Sunday night, but how did HBO’s own lineup fare? While we’re not sure that any of the numbers are good enough to trumpet from the top of the nearest building, there were still some worthy performances there […]
Ballers, Ballers season 2 review
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. […]
Here’s a random / interesting thought: Did anyone make a connection in the “Ballers” writers room where Spencer and Tracy’s names put side by side are the name of a famous Old Hollywood icon? We didn’t even realize the whole Spencer Tracy connection until we wrote out the title above. Anyway, we’re not going to pursue that […]
