13. I think "Ballers" is the better show!

"The Brink" is too manic cartoonish - but still watchable.

"Ballers" is hilarious! Dwayne Johnson is perfection!

And the cast of 'footballers' is spot on!

It's like "Miami Vice" on steroids! Only agents and brain-wrecked talent, instead of cops and robbers.

If you like football, "Ballers" shows us life off the field in all its glory, just like we imagined it!
