3. Not impressed with Ballers

I liked The Brink. At least that was a comedy. What was Ballers??

True Detective was OK. I thought it took too long to get the 3 main actors together. Oh and Collin Farrell was doing some of his best acting I've seen. And Vince Vaughn was the old Vince. Not the comedic one-liner Vince we've seen lately. This is a great departure for him and made me like him again as an actor. Can't wait for more of the show. I wish The Brink was on before Ballers, because then I could get some sleep!! Oh wait I have John Oliver at 11p. Darnit!
