With thighs like that I think he'd have to have those strides specially made. wink

The show looks OK. I'll give it a chance.

HBO in June so I'm guessing that it'll be on Sky Atlantic.

Same here. I like his style of acting. He doesn't take himself too seriously and comes across as a fairly decent bloke when interviewed

Its a good season, it obviously has to build.. but think of it more like entourage.. just with a few less key people.

It was much better than I was expecting, I wasn't planning to see it but I've watched the whole season. For a show vaguely based around the world American football players & agents you don't need to know or care about the game to enjoy it.

Acting wise it comes across OK too. I'm left with the definite impression that a lot of the time Dwayne Johnson is just being Dwayne Johnson which probably helps.

If it's even 7/10 of Entourage, I'm sold

Only just got into Entourage. It's ace!

Ballers, I didn't realise it was a drama, thought it was some show about cars form some reason. But The Rock in a HBO show, great! Should be good.

Got to say I really enjoyed Ballers. There's something very likeable about Dwayne Johnson as an actor. Well shot, very witty, great music. You can see the hand of the guy who produced Boardwalk Empire. Highly recommended, looking forward to where they go in Season 2.

It was enjoyable in an easy going sort of way, probably good it's a 30 minute show.
Look forward to ep 3.

I finished all them a couple of weeks ago. Enjoyed it and looking forward to hopefully a second series.
30 min episodes were great too, could watch them when short of time. 45 minutes would be better, every episode would finish and i'd be like is that is?!
