Young Rock

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!

Was looking forward to this show but I've been let down. It's well produced and put together. But the acting is over the top. Every single person is constantly smiling. Cheesy to the max. The comedy is one dimensional.

I was expecting a show like EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS. That is funny and has great characters. Maybe even a bit of YOUNG SHELDON thrown in too. But YOUNG ROCK is like the fake, hammy adverts you see for Toothpaste brands.

I'll check out a couple more and give it a chance.

My only problem is with this show that is has nothing to do with reality. Like a long long commercial, everybody is always smiling, everything is fine, everything is.... fake. If you read about his early life, from interviews, etc. It is obvious that he had a hard life, but still managed to get to the top. Why fake it? Why pretend it was all peachy?! I don't want it to be a drama, just be more realistic, more down to earth, we don't need all this glitter. Good production, sometimes funny, but still a pass...

I think The Rock is cool, I follow him on IG and I think he is a really good role model. But I agree with some on here, everybody loves him and because of that everything he does is gold to them. Sadly, this is not the case here in this show.

I feel that the characters in the show are too shallow and fake. Johnson senior is good, he does a good job. But the "larger than life" feel over it all, really makes it somewhat fake and stupid. And yes, comedy is dead. This is not very funny. It's some kind of a feel good show, at times.

All in all for me, it's a Sunday, hangover-show, when I'm too tired to reach for the remote. It did not catch my interest. Sad to say! I wish Dwayne and the entire production all the best, but as a grown man, this is a waste of time for me. Maybe some of the younger people can relate better. The numbers will talk for them self.

It's a 5/10 from me

I previously read some of Dwayne Johnson's Life story and this TV series is allowing him to re-tell his childhood and his rise to stardom as an athlete and movie star bar none from his early wins and losses with his own words.

Prediction: I wouldn't put it past Dwayne Johnson that he may just actually run for the U. S. Presidency and get in to the Oval office in the next 8-12 years.

Some may scoff at the retro feel of the Rocks young adult life and his stylish clothes of the 1980-90's but for those IMDB reviewers who are far too fast in mocking the Young Rock I have just one question for you? Can you not smell what the Rock is cooking?

I give it a 9 out of 10 IMDB rating and yes, I want to see more.
