It’s a great sign that Ballers is willing to give up the Alpha status of its dudes and seems like it is about to give that Alpha status to three women in their respective lives.īallers has a potentially solid final four episodes lining up for itself as it finally seems to have figured out what to do as a season long show and not just a pilot. Charles knows he’s beat too and it is a telling moment for the show that it can side with the other sex and not just worship these dudes. She doesn’t yell, she doesn’t nag, she doesn’t become some stereotypical wife you would expect from a show like Ballers, she stands up to him and calls him on his bullsh*t, reducing him to exactly who he is and almost laughing Charles out of his house. Not only was it a great comedic beat, but it was also a great scene for Julie to play a strong female character in a movie mostly divorced from them. They did a great little switcharoo in that sex scene, and the strip club scene was kind of ridiculous, but the scene when Charles’ wife, Julie, put the video the girl sent to him that he stupidly tried to save up on the TV was great. Now, the show utilizes some “sexposition” in its other plot thread of the week, but at least the show doesn’t seem interested in actually having Charles cheat on his wife. I hope that with Alonzo out of the way we get to see more of Anabelle and that the show hang’s Ricky’s drama around their relationship going forward. The cop was the uncle of Ricky’s girlfriend and I’ve really liked the few scenes we have gotten with Anabelle Acosta as Ricky’s girl. The show got a nice laugh out of Ricky’s manipulation of Alonzo at the end, which you see coming from a mile away, but I am more intrigued by the potential drama being set up with this “uncle” and the cheating Ricky is doing on the cop’s niece. Ricky’s thread of wheel spinning seems to finally be coming to an end as an epic trip to the strip club, all on Ricky’s dime, puts everything to bed with Alonzo.

Spencer and Joe also continue to feel more and more natural as actual friends from week to week, and the smoking crack conversation here was one of my favorite interactions yet between the two. Collins is leaps and bounds more of an interesting antagonist than Reggie, who is all fronting with no bite Collins feels like a real risk to take them down.ĪLSO ON HIDDEN REMOTE: 30 Reasons To Get HBO Now Plus, Collins is great as he gleefully tosses threats at Spencer, who wants to rip his arms off in retaliation. We only get two brief scenes with Collins, but I hope we get a couple more as I was sick of the Spencer and Reggie show. was a smart move as our new antagonist who has a machete wielding ancestral past. We only really follow Spencer and Joe as they go and meet with the picture-taking client’s lawyer, but casting Clifton Collins Jr. This, of course, is going to risk Vernon’s renegotiation of his deal with Dallas if the pictures go public and this is finally the thing that gets his team working together rather than tearing each other apart. Vernon’s getting blackmailed by a girl who was taking pictures of him doing everything he shouldn’t be doing in a public space. I was right about that gratuitous scene on the yacht with Vernon and Reggie a few weeks back being about plot as much as it was about gratuitous female exploitation, and that plot came back rearing its ugly head with a vengeance this week.
