I’ve just finished watching HBO’s How To Make it in America get-go season the new series taking up in New York, from the makers of Entourage.I heard somewhere one the reviews where it’s like the Entourage before they made it.The series is about two New Yorkers Ben Epstein and Cameron ‘Cam’ Calderonin living in Manhattan one jewish and one spanish friends that trying to find their way around the city.
One will believe that because of the lack of college grooming they have (they are both college drop out) they will be working in New York Towing
or provide NYC roadside assistance
, but they want to be entrepreneurs and make their own fashion Brand.the second story line is focusing on Cameron ‘Cam’ Calderonin cousin named Rene Calderon played by Luis Guzmán.Rene Calderon is just got out of prison house and hitting back the streets trying to make money.Rene Charter payed by Luis Guzmán is one of the series greatest characters he hold his meetings in a New York Auto body Repair Shop
and try to get a new energy drink to the streets called Rasta Monsta.He is starting modest and by the end of the season plunderer ALERT: he owns the rights for the energy drink in New York.
Meanwhile Ben and Cam know they want to be in the fashion business and after a few funny and bad tries they do header to get some success.
Another story line (the third) is focusing on Ben Ex girlfriend Rachel Chapman played by Lake Bell.To my opinion this story line is not that interesting and it’s something like a unobjectionable modern sex and the city story…
From the rootage song this series screams New York all of the season was cinematography in New York and most of it in Manhattan and they really managed to catch the city atmosphere.Most of the review liked this new HBO original series.I must agree, though the season was extra short, only vii episodes i designate that Mark Wahlberg nailed it again, apparently he is a go bad manufacturing business than a raper or an doer.
I think that this show as a potential to be as good as Entourage and become an HBO classic (a standard that right nows owns by The Larry Sandars Show (1992) and Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000))
The get of the series is just great at a lot of fun to watch.The only problem i am finding with this series is that they first season has only seven episodes and the next season will be up only in summer 2011, more than a year from now…
I can’t understand HBO in this case but we will have to just wait and see where Ben Epstein, Cameron ‘Cam’ Calderonin and Rene Calderon will take us next season.
My bet is on a big success in Japan.
