Ballers: The Complete First S1 [DVD]

This is a must watch for any football fan or not a sports fan at all like myself! Dwayne is obviously good in this series, but he is out charmed in every scene with Ricky Jerret, who is none other than Denzel Washington's son, John! I actually didn't know this the first time I watched it through, but during my second viewing it became so obvious because you can clearly hear his father coming through in certain lines and mannerisms, even though his fresh energy, wit and charisma still forms his own style and swagger.I have read this series really captures the realism of the players in the NFL, their lives, their expenditures and foolishness. It seemed pretty real life to me, but I'm glad it's backed up elsewhere as well. I enjoyed this ride all the way through and it's difficult not to binge watch it. Robb Corddry is refreshing with his crazy, comedic timing, especially when played against Dwayne's more serious persona in this series. He definitely helps make this series an all around success along with John and Dwayne and I hope to see them in a second season.It should be no surprise to see Mark Wahlberg as executive producer since it feels like a familiar ride with the Entourage crew with some of the music choices, dialog, parties and whatnot. I'm glad to see a show like this again and look forward to the wild dalliances of Ricky Jerret in subsequent adventures.

Aside from the natural likability of the lead actor (Dwayne Johnson), there is nothing much to this. The story is only a repetitious argument between a ball player and his manager, with lots of forced cursing, going nowhere. Ballers is about displaying hedonism in the form of titillating parties, cars, and frenetic energy -- but again, going nowhere.

This show is so fantastic and I really recommend everyone give it a chance not just for the rock, but for how real the show is and what it touches on in sports today.

What can I say??? I'm a fan of anything done by Dwayne Johnson...so of course I really enjoyed this. I can see why it's continuing into a new season. Can't wait to see more.

I have liked the Rock since he departed the WWE. I think his acting ability is very smooth, and he never seems nervous. I like his style and his attitude with most roles. I really like him in this series as he mixes comedy, serious, business, and not crap attitudes together to make one convincing character.

Love this series, might subscribe to HBO just to watch season 2. Duane Johnson wears some killer suits and sport coast. If you want to know how to dress watch this series, its a must for the fashion conscious man. Great series, Duane Johnson shows his acting skills, great casting, plots and situations.

Really Enjoyed watching Ballers, sorry that the series ended.

Loved these shows on HBO NOW On DVD A Must Have!

Man muss sich erstmal an den Umgangston in dieser Serie gewöhnen. Es wird extrem viel geflucht, von den Dialogen darf man nicht all zu viel erwarten. Wegen des ausschweifenden Lebensstils der Footballer stehen oft Sexszenen und Drogenmissbrauch im Zentrum.Wie motiviert man Footballspieler? Wie bekommt man sie in einem Team unter? Wie bügelt man deren Fehler aus?Spencer Strasmore war einst selbst Footballspieler. Er beginnt als Finanzmanager zu arbeiten. Zusammen mit Joe Krutel, ebenfalls Finanzmanager, und dem Agenten Jason Antolotti kümmert sich Strasmore um einige Footballstars.Die Hintergründe sind wirklich interessant. Footballszenen gibt es in dieser Serie jedoch nicht viele.Jede Figur hat ihre eigenen Probleme, die nach und nach auf den Tisch kommen. Es geht um bleibende körperliche Schäden nach einer Football-Karriere, um die Angst vor dem Scheitern und um die magische Anziehungskraft dieses Sports.

Sehr Schelle Lieferung , war noch in Folie eingeschweißt .Keine Kratzer oder sonst was an den DVDs.Bis jetzt funktioniert sie .Gerne wieder .

Eine super Serie, selten hatte ich so spaß dabei, eine Serie mehrmals hintereinander anzuschauen. Natürlich redet man hier nicht vom Kunstfilm aber definitiv von purer Unterhaltung, die auch einen stressigen Arbeitsalltag beiwohnen kann.Sollte jeder mal reinschauen!

Schnelle Lieferung und gute Verpackung.Die Serie an sich war auch ok.

Wer auf Football steht und dann noch Dwayne Johnson Fan ist , wird an dieser Serie nicht vorbeikommen. Das einzige was negativ ist sind nur 10 folgen und das war die erste Staffel.
