Ballers. New HBO series starring The Great One - Page 2

Jesus, Miami has to be a top 3 city to be young and rich. I liked the show, but it annoyed me way too much that he had exactly 300k in his checking account. On top of that, what the **** kind of money manager gives out most of his cash yet doesn't know exactly how much is left in his account?

"I just gave out all my money. Lets press buttons on an ATM and see what's left."

but tittayz!

Pretty much what I thought. I'll stick with it for another few eps. If it wasn't a half-hour, I wouldn't have made it through. I even checked the time to make sure, cause I doubt I'd even have started it to begin with.

I don't want you ending up like that. Let me be your money manager. I know what it's like being a player with a lot of money coming in and not knowing what to do with it. I trusted the wrong people and lost a ton. Now I want to help players like you not make my mistakes. SO EZ. Seems like he hasn't even tried, yet he's so desperate for clients he's willing to loan out $300k to get one.

That trailer is basically Entourage with black people.

I liked the washed up lineman working at the dealership storyline.

I also like gratuitous amounts of "insanely hot girls walking through the scene for no reason".

I'm in!

this show is going to be awesome just like the first three seasons of enterouge were awesome.

as long as you don't take it too seriously and get pissed that he loaned all his $$$ n didn't know how much he had left etc.

have to have same suspension of disbelief that you had for enterouge.

the rock is great n rob is hilarious.
should be good fun.

Was pretty blah.

So this show is basically dumb black football players being dumb and trying to bang every girl?

I mean Ok but why do I care? Just seems tilting when all the people in the show seem so stupid.

Dumb black football players being dumb and trying to bang every girl is a much more realistic premise that 99% of TV, not sure why you'd be angry there's a show about it.

Modifying what RBK said, 'as opposed to rich white friends of a magazine columnist who bang every guy in NY'?

Other than The Wire and studio filmed sitcoms, how many major English language TV series have a majority black cast?

The star player is Denzel's kid. Pretty solid performance considering it's his first real acting role.

Which is why I didn't like Entourage either. Watching idiots burn through money and women because they think it makes them cool is boring and repetitive.

OK?

thanks for letting us know there was no way you were ever going to like this show, not sure why you tuned in to begin with but should prolly just go watch the wire again then read some Shakespeare.

Watched about ten minutes. Didn't First & Ten do this, like 25 years ago?
