Young Rock

This looks like it's going to be a fun feel good ride into the Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's history. Kinda reminds me of "Everybody Hates Chris".

I think younger people might not appreciate or understand some of this show. I get it and really want more. I like the rock and look forward to learning more about him.

I have to be honest, I was half expecting this to be corny and just another failed pilot but boy was I wrong. It's heartfelt, cute and somewhat relatable. The characters are likeable and make for an easy watch. I really hope to see more of this show, it feels honest without being overbearing. I respected The Rock before this but if half the stories he shares in this sitcom are true he's a truly remarkable person. Definitely worth watching!

...This feels like one giant ego stroke. Not to say the program is bad per se but a lot of it feels like a generic product that's sole purpose is to promote its star and raise more awareness of its network instead of something from the heart. Some of the casting choices work pretty well others not so much, the tone keeps shifting from light comedy to light drama. Maybe I am being too picky because its just an observation from the first episode, but so far I am not impressed and I say this as someone who loves pro wrestling and been a fan of Dwayne Johnson since childhood.

I really enjoy this show. I like the different stages of his life portrayed and I really enjoy the stories being told. He had a very interesting childhood. Great show.
