There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

What a cheap knockoff of Entourage. I don't know where to began, for sure the writers and directors hate California. There is nothing MAJOR happening in the East Cost or groundbreaking as to technology, or fashion, or even entertainment. All the creative people are moving West; its been the case for the last 20 years. The technology, movies, heck even art and fashion. Sad to see nowadays Hollywood making stuff to try to hate on California while making East cost look good.The style of the show where you get excited for 15 min and then the mysterious ending after 20min was all done in Entourage. Then the poor way of showing the feel of How to really make it in America; one has to just watch Pursuit of Happiness to get the real deal.The lead and his buddy have no knowledge, never gained any education, just hustlers, and trying to get into the Fashion Industry. What is this stupid show trying to say that one has to fake it to make it in Fashion, which is one of the most ruthless industry. Where brightest or even the hustler brands have a true struggle behind them, or roots from their struggle for Rap or ground breaking design trends. Here in the show all you see is hate towards people who made it big in the Fashion Industry and love for the thugs on the street with not a single cent of business knowledge.At least it gives me hope that such stupidity did not go for more seasons. I mean people who are trying to get businesses going or hustling to get a better education to get a better job know the value of knowledge. This thinking of go with what you got works only after you have knowledge of what you are getting into. There is story after story of failure in Retail and this two dumb fools are not going anywhere with that "lets hook up with the top designer to get to know how to make it" Call this show "How to Fake it to Make it in America IDIOTIC

From season one, the show has got me curious to get into the rest of the whole 8 episodes.it is very inspiring to see the typical average Manhattan crisps making and blowing it up into the market. The show motivates entrepreneur to do anything possible to get the brand, the product, the good stuff everywhere in the Big Apple. East part of the world can finally look into the deeper and wider world of New York, New York~ Even the number of episodes per season is quite accurate and unique. the anticipation of excitement and mystery in every story knowing the best one is to come the following week. the finale giving a whole new start and glimpse of the next chapter for the next season.

First let me start off by saying this show isn't perfect. There's a few things I would change to make it both more entertaining and meaningful. However, I'm no professional writer and I'm sure there is a more to it than meets the eye.With that being said, this show is worthwhile to watch. It definitely is better than the other 1000 popular shows titled "BEST" but in reality is just another same exact BS reality wannabe or some drama-stirring show. This has a good level of every variety. There is drama but not the one that would annoy you or pick sides. Each main character has their own life and perspectives and they do well in portraying that. The collection of characters, however, is a little unrealistic although I'm sure there's a group like this somewhere. Ben is the main focus character along with Cam. Ben worries and stresses, but he's trying to do well and live his life best he can. Cam has faced the many dark sides of American society along with his cousin Rene. This show begins with them trying to make their lives respectable and worthwhile by doing legitimate business. Rachel, I feel needs to figure out what she wants... but with that being said, we all have been in the same situation where we really don't know what we want and we struggle with the decision. Rachel is possibly a great example of that. She has a great job, great life, great relationship. However, you see that she will always think about things. Kaplan is a bit insecure but he doesn't get fazed by it. He is a wealthy Wall St. corporate trying to live life with his good friends and find a girl. Kaplan is a bit of an open book but I'm sure they will delve deeper into his character. He's a lot like few wealthy people who buy their friends... but in this show it's much more than that. As the series continues, you will see Kaplan slowly truly become their friends but still hold that seed of doubt, that insecurity.Each of these characters are all good friends, with the exception of Rene. Rene is a good character in my mind. It really is true, most people won't understand a man like him. However, having considerable mistakes in his past, he is trying to be an honest legitimate businessman. There are many people among us who drive you crazy and Rene will show a glimpse of his past self each time he comes across them characters. Rene is not afraid to admit to his mistakes. There are some criticism as to why he is in this show. I think it is a good mix to have someone in the older generation from NY as well. Rene and his crew provides good comedy for the show. Rene is running Rasta Monster (energy drink) and Ben & Cam are running Crisp (clothing line). It shows the cold hard world of starting your own business and just how difficult it is...I've got few friends in the clothing line business and NYC is one of the cities in America that excel in trendiness and fashion. When I talk to my friends, it really is hard. My father is in a similar line of business working in NJ. If you WERE going to start off somewhere, I would not start off directly in NY as it would cause tremendous financial problems. My father also gets a lot of stress going to business meets in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, etc (as he's not the party guy, he's more of a stay-home-in-bed type a guy). This show doesn't accurately project the burdens and obstacles you'd go through in that industry, but in the social aspect it can shed some light.

I saw a few adverts about the series and decided 'what the heck!'. After watching the 8 episodes from the 1st season I really have to say I'm impressed. I'd say that the storyline is rather excellent for a comedy-drama series.Having most of the "Entourage" crew behind it, it might just be a success, and if they try hard enough, I can see a future for this show, no doubt about that! The story is great! Combining street thugs, ex-cons, high-life, 'not-so-high-life', hood-mentality, etc. showing the struggle to get to the top in a country where there's enough possibilities for everyone, but also bringing some comedy into it.Unfortunately 8 episodes are too few to get a good idea about what's about to happen, but the characters and the action portray real-life close enough just to make it believable. That's a good enough reason to want to watch the first season of the show, but it made me want to see the 2nd season as well.You're never sure what's going to happen next. I'd say it was worth my time watching it.
