    Dwayne Johnson is still eminently watchable, but this second season kickoff episode was pretty boring. No major crises established. All the T&A seems forced this time around. Hopefully some of the primary crises for the season will be developed in ep.2 - or people will be running for the exits. HBO Sunday Night can't merely consist of "The Night Of" - got to follow-up that quality withDwayne Johnson is still eminently watchable, but this second season kickoff episode was pretty boring.

    Season two of Ballers continues to build on the character relationships, business deals, and drama that was introduced in the first season, while also providing the viewer with some great humor. It is arguably better than its predecessor, which is rare in television.

    Другий сезон, як мені здалось, максимально повторює перший, але це і непогано. Ти все одно дивишся усі серії, захлинаючись, а тандем головних героїв продовжує захоплювати. Проте настав час робити левел ап у своїх справах, чого я і чекаю від наступного сезону.Другий сезон, як мені здалось, максимально повторює перший, але це і непогано.

    The show suffers when it’s away from Johnson, lacking any real focus. Individual moments can be fine, but they seem strung together rather than part of a cohesive vision.

    There are some genuine glimmers of human insight and deep-felt emotion amid the pigskin-tossing carnival. John David Washington continues to impress as Ricky Jerret.

    [Ricky Jerret, played by John David Washington (Denzel Washington's son) is] the show's secret weapon--a handsome, energetic live-wire who expertly conveys the brash ego and subtle insecurities of a player whose career may be fading into the sunset at the age of 30. But make no mistake, this is Johnson's baby. With that all-glowing smile, he brings his A-game to Ballers while always managing to look good in a suit.
