Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 1354687, member: 833"] I liked the first episode of Ballers, but I think it has some major problems. I disagree with those that say the whole show is a cliché. Other than Any Given Sunday, there have not been too many football shows/movies that gave this kind of depth to the major characters. My issue is that the characters have too much depth. I am going to have trouble following complicated back stories of 15 characters in a 30 minute dramedy. I also think going dramedy is a mistake. Shameless pulls it off, it has an hour to work with, and it is one of the best shows on television. After that, good dramedies are really, really rare, and I can't think of any that are 30 minutes long. I hope the show sticks to the laughs, because otherwise it will be a one season show. [/QUOTE]
