	Author	Review
United States	Keith Uhlich The Hollywood Reporter	"Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson’s is magnetic as Spencer Strasmore (...) That’s not to take anything away from the supporting players; if Johnson is the quarterback, they’re the necessary fullbacks, tackles and tight ends that make the team whole."	POS
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"'Ballers' isn’t savvy enough about its subject matter to leave a mark. Sure, it’s easy enough to watch, but almost wholly inconsequential, and forgotten as soon as the final gun sounds."	NEU
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"It’s hard to tell whether 'Ballers' means to make the high life seem as rote and empty as it does (...), but the show and its actors are so much better when zooming in on serious matters."	NEU
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"The pace is steady. The characters feel authentic. And The Rock carries the rest with an addictive swagger and occasional intimacy."	POS
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"[An] unrewarding, predictable drama, though the writers occasionally try for better."	NEU
