Nah, they'll puss out of doing anything gritty. This is just Men's health porn like Entourage. You can tell because all the dialog is lazy as gently caress. They will have more vague values Kenya where dudes bump fists or hug and say "family" just like in fast and furious.

This is more a fault of the show's writing than anything else, but they don't make a great case for the Rock being a good businessman or a wise alternative to Reggie. It's just a given that all the clients should sign with him because he's wearing a suit and said "don't buy a boat" in the first episode. A slight shift in dialog, and he could come off as some leech trying to milk his connections for clients for little regard as to whether he's actually good for them in the long haul. You know, like a lot of the financial industry. This show feels like it's written by a team of cynical white frat boys trying to talk about the lives of rich black athletes and using Maxim and ESPN as their own points of reference.

Even Charles is living a good life. Nothing must interfere with the Entourage lifestyle porn.

Entourage also did that thing, which Ballers also does, where it is so lazily written that they half-forget the storyline they're developing and write it off via some awkward dialog when they need to jumpstart a story. On the boat party, wasn't Vernon doing cocaine? Why, then, did they have like six scenes where the photos are showing him drinking and smoking weed and that's the scandal? Also, why was the whole "Reggie secretly caused the problem by trying to gently caress photo-girl" something that happened entirely off screen and only came up in the episode after the character appeared? There's half a dozen better ways to do the same lovely story.

Yeah, but why not write it in a way that's also funny. Like did you laugh at the scene where they reveal reggie took his dick out? There wasn't a joke, just a hamfisted plot point and some weird out of character bullshit about "not disrespecting women."

Yeah, they never really commit to the bit and make these guys actually trashy or petty or even human. Things always have to work out, and the dudes all need to be stand-up, old school bros that everyone loves.

The finale would have been more interesting if they'd just all sucked each others dicks. The dialog across the board is super weak.
