Young Rock

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.

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...

Found this on my dvr that records all prime time shows. Thought it was going to be awful because, while I like the rock, frankly I don't like his movies. I did like ballers but that's about it. Decided to give it a shot while I was folding laundry and surprisingly liked it. Looking forward to the next episodes but going into it with zero expectations is the way to go.

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 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
