I'm very sorry to be so late reviewing this sitcom. I've
had a busy summer! This show stars Dwayne Johnson (The Rock)
as a retired athlete. It features many retired athletes and
shows how they struggle to find new careers after they
retire.
The show is a half hour comedy, but personally, I don't
find it all that funny. They probably should have made it an
hour-long light drama along the lines of "Royal Pains" or
some other similar show.
The characters are very interesting and entertaining. If
I had time to add another show to my list, I would watch it.
If it were really funny, I would find the time to watch it.
Check it out and see if you like it. I think anyone who
follows sports would like it more than I do. But it's not
nearly as funny as "Arli$$."
