Reviews

Michael Bush Check out the episode with special agent Michael Bush. The hype on this guy is that he plays a retired football player now turned FBI agent. He takes down hipster, white collar crook, David Kaplan. Rumor has it Kaplan, played by Eddie Thomas, almost suffered a concussion rehearsing this very realistic scene. One of the criteria for being an FBI agent is to be a graduate of law school. In real life, Michael Bush is an alumni of Washington College of Law at American University and is a trial lawyer in New York City. Where can we see more of this character? Stay Tuned. The cast and production crew of How to Make it America are also among the coolest in the industry. Big things to come from Producer Joe Zolfo and Ian Edelman.
Syndication91 Unless you are from New York and just like looking at the scenery there is virtually nothing about this show that grabs you and keeps you tuned in. The characters are generally unlikable and hard to relate to. Who cares about the jean business? I mean there is nothing about hipsters selling jeans that makes me want to root for them. Just a dry show that is overly pretentious.Luiz Guzman is funny but underutilized in his role. The two main characters are just kind of there and the writing for their interactions seems extremely forced. I know it has the Entourage Wahlberg pedigree but I do not see why HBO signed off on another season of this while they eliminated In Treatment.
denellington This series is fantastic and certainly realistic. I have lived the game, and this is the closest to summing up the highs and lows, glamours and not so glamorous situations. The show is sexy and the characters keep you lusting for more - the young energy, the vibrancy of youth and relationships that don't speak, but struggle on any how. What a show, well done Mark Wahlberg for pushing this one through and improving the quality of TV viewing. Will it be coming to the UK? I have been bragging about how good it is to my friends in the UK. The characters are contrasting and there is a lot of humour throughout, I was addicted straight away. What a show.
louise-ericsater I want to watch this again and again, it is feel good at its best. It is surprising because of what does NOT happen. It does not follow the standard formula that most shows stick to, first you sit and wait for the disaster that is showing on the horizon, then you realize this show is different and you sit back and relax. This is reality at its best! No constructed drama, they just float around and send out good vibes! The only problem is that the episodes are too short and that there just aren't enough of them!I love the slick scenes, the music, the interesting terms and how real the acting feels. They haven't crowded it with familiar faces, so it feels fresh, crisp even!
