I just started watching How to Make it in America on Sunday. I had heard about it for the last year or so from people saying how great it was, but to me it just looked like a poor man’s entourage knock-off, but about guys who wanted to make it in the fashion world, an area I know nothing about. I finally caved and watched the pilot on Sunday, and then…proceeded to watch the entire first season in a row. And then the entire second season in a row. The show is awesome. It reminds me a lot of Entourage in its first season, where it was just a bunch of guys trying to be successful in the world, without random cameos appearing every 30 seconds. Even better the show takes place in NYC, clearly the greatest place on the planet. Season 2 just ended on Sunday, but HBO hasn’t yet committed to a third season. I don’t think HBO cancels anything (as is obvious from the fact that the truly horrible show Hung remains on the air), so hopefully they announce something soon. In the meantime, if you haven’t seen it, each season is only 8 episodes of about 25 minutes each, and I guarantee you that if you watch one, you’ll watch them all. Also worth noting that the show has a bunch of hot girls like Lake Bell (who gets naked in season 2 and looks truly fantastic), stars Scott Mescudi aka Kid Cudi in a supporting role, and regularly plays former skirt jams of the week at the end of every episode like the Bag Raider’s Shooting Stars or Avicii’s Levels. Give the show a try, I promise you’ll like it.
