Fictional series that follows some sports agents and financial advisors that look after NFL players.
It stars Dwayne Johnson and John Washington (Denzels son).
The whole series is like Ray Donovans first episode with the NBA player and the hooker.
Being a HBO series, downloading is the way to go.
NFL players don't really act that way do they?
This is a watered down version of reality I think.

I really enjoyed it - they certainly put some twists in it
Indeed. Reckon Janet King is quality TV, it shows we have the resources and talent in Australia to make top-shelf drama.
Looking forward to the next season of Rake starting in its place in about a week too.

Have been watching a new series on Fox - Hap & Leonard. Pretty decent start. Stars James Purefoy (Mark Antony in Rome), Michael
Kenneth Williams (Omar in the Wire, Chalky in Boardwalk) and Kristina Kendricks. Worth a look

Two best mates basically living off coupons - one of their exes who he has a weak spot for, rolls into town and talks them into trying to recover stolen money from a bank job in some River they can't find.

Whoops, sorry haha.
The premise is awesome. And I find the chick very hot. But the writing is a bit meh sometimes.

Yeah agree the chick is hot and she does a brilliant job to make each character feel like it's own personality rather than her just playing different characters which it is

Bloodline on Netflix is worthy of a look if you've run out of regulars, some quality actors in the show e.g Coach Taylor (Friday Night Lights)
