This show is like Entourage if it had long term stakes and consequences.

This show makes me want to strangle Reggie. I'm feeling bad for a financial manager arguing over million dollar contracts in Miami.

Because the show does a great job of using the Lifestyle Porn that shows like Entourage leaned on as a facade that masks drat-near-life-or-death stakes.

I see this season playing out as a semi-victory for Reggie until the second to last episode where Marcus goes down hard and there's no guarantee contract in place. Then The Rock is out 300k and Reggie has hosed over dozens of other people.

If this show is smart, it'll continue to parallel Spencer's refusal to admit there's anything wrong with him with Marcus's feeling of invincibility. So when Spencer is finally able to face himself, he'll be strong enough to pull Marcus from Reggie's grip.

It's not a comedy.

Is it? It serves well as a sports drama.

It's ostensibly a comedy, but watching Ballers just for the jokes is like watching Friday Night Lights just for the football games.
