Ballers - The Complete First Season

After appealing to the estrogen inducing millennial with the whimsical wit of "Girls" and leading the testosterhome charge with "Game of Thrones," the still-leading by a landslide cable network looking to fill the vacancy left when the Hollywood-based "Entourage" ran its course and followed "Sex & the City" to the big screen, the powers that be have delivered with the sports-heavy "Ballers" - The Complete First Season now available on Blu-ray and Digital HD.

The original series follows the life of Spencer Strasmore (played by Dwayne Johnson, also an executive producer on the show) who is a rising name in talent management in the high-stakes game of sports. Strasmore, a retired football star, has his hands full representing some of the most intense and volatile sports personalities on the field. It becomes even more challenging for Strasmore to keep his players in line when it comes to the "game of life"; getting them the millions they're worth, without becoming tomorrow's tabloid headlines.

Set against the backdrop of Miami's South Beach and with an entertaining pace that is both "funny...and fast moving," Dwayne Johnson continues to impress with his versatility as a comedic and dramatic actor. Looking to always get the job done, Strasmore may be ambitious, but his heart is in the right place, and as long as he doesn't get the rug pulled out from under him, he's on a collision course to stardom -- on and off the field.

The "Complete First Season" available now on Blu-ray features all 10 episodes, and an inside look on how each chapter was pulled off, highlighting and teasing moments that are poised to lead into the upcoming Second Season. Similarly styled after "Entourage" (Mark Wahlberg) is also an executive producer on this show as well, "Ballers" will undoubtedly appeal to the same audience with its clever banter and sports-centric appeal.
