A superstar during his football playing days, Spencer Strasmore tries to find the same success as a financial manager for current players in sun-splashed Miami. Heeding his boss Joe's instruction to "monetize his friendships," Spencer builds a client base of young phenoms and veteran stars alike, but his role in their lives far exceeds money management as he struggles to help them navigate the many traps that come with life as big-time "ballers." The series is created by Stephen Levinson ("Entourage," "Boardwalk Empire") and stars Dwayne Johnson as Spencer.

Liz Shannon Miller IndieWire 05/30/2018
Whether it be a rival player on the field, or a medical issue, or a friendship in trouble - they put ego and drama and all other issues aside, and they handle it. And that's the real definition of baller-dom we come to, with this season finale. Go to Full Review Keith Uhlich The Hollywood Reporter 07/18/2016
At the center of it all, of course, is Johnson, transplanting his movie-star charisma to the small screen, while proving himself a more and more adept dramatic performer. Go to Full Review Andrew Wallenstein Variety 07/12/2016
Think of Ballers as a .500 team in TV's comedy standings, which doesn't mean it's a bad show. To the contrary, what's frustrating is how it seems just a new player or two away from a winning record. Go to Full Review Allison Rose FlickDirect 09/05/2019

Ballers Season Two is even more "ballistic" than Season One! Go to Full Review Matt Fowler IGN Movies 05/30/2018
6.8/10
I can't imagine how this could be a must-watch show given everything else on the air, but - as mentioned - Johnson is a hugely enjoyable commodity. Go to Full Review Matt Conway The Young Folks 09/14/2016
