    Ballers and Silicon Valley are very formulaic shows at this stage

    Its hard to excited about the problems and how they solve them

    I only got around to watching the first episode of the new series last night. I don't know, it was pretty boring, nothing happened. Maybe it's been a while since I watched the last series but I couldn't even remember half the characters or what way the last series finished up.

    It's not a great season, but totally watchable to see how things unfold.
    They need to give focus to the players tomfoolery and crazy antics.

    Slow enough opening to the new season, not helped by the presence of the awful Russel Brand.

    I don't like him either but thought he was ok in it. Played the part of an unlikable cocky English tw@t. Maybe he's taken up method acting?

    Probably easier to drag up a 4 year old thread than start a new one but I am making my way through Season 5 at the moment.

    This has to be one of the most underrated shows out there.

    Also, I feel quite poor after looking at it!!!

    If you have not seen it already I'd recommend Entourage, very similar.

    Finishing up on it now, Russell Brand in the last 2 series single handed destroyed this show completely, utter Richard Head character with a screen attraction of proper death via cancer in every single possible part possible of your body being a proper option as entertainment rather than ever having to see this ultra scrote on tv ever again, complete bellend.

    Is this easy going to watch? I generally like anything HBO air. Rewatched all 8 seasons of Entourage last month, wouldn't mind anothet half hour show that's not too serious.

    Yeah it's very easy watching, like entourage but with American footballers. Quality falls off in later seasons but that's common with most kind of shows

    Yes I found first 2 seasons very good, then starts to go a little downhill.

    it was the he's creating a new franchise!, no he is not, yes he is, no hes not, yes he is, no he's not, that got tiresome just as the introduced Brand, that I got fed up with it.

    I didn't like how they abandoned the storyline of spencer going after the NCAA, Brands character was awful and the eGaming storyline was horrific but I enjoyed it overall and I have essentially zero knowledge of the NFL

    It definitely dips but it's worth the watch..... imagine entourage with infinitely better actors
