How to Make it in America

Anyone watching this? I just got done with the 2nd episode. Things are starting off slow but I like how its from the perspective of people actually struggling. Rather than rich people just buying things.

Anyway, give this show a shot if you have the time. I feel like it has a good chance of being the next Entourage (its even produced by Mark Wahlberg)

And if you don't know what I'm talking about, you probably know it as, 'that one HBO show Kid Cudi is on'

Well I already said it, but yeah he's in it. So far he plays a fairly minor role but eventually the show is supposed to build his character.

Really loving this show.  I would say that the opening credits are the best I've ever seen for a show.

The whole style/additude/swagger of the show is just awesome...like an underground, skateboarding, NYC, fashion, party, graffiti, street style is just so fucking cool.

I admit the first episode was slow and the second one only picked up the pace a little bit but its definitly going somewhere.  Characters are still a little undeveloped but they are getting better each episode...kid cudi still has no personality.

But yea I think its really cool and has a ton of potential...the party scenes are awesome.  Easily the coolest part.  And theres some funny lines here and there.

They locked out the episodes. They only had the first one on youtube as a promotional thing. HBO just isn't going to keep posting their tv shows online.

But you can easily find them on torrents. And they are still new enough that you can download them in a matter of minutes from all the seeders.

"Don't get HBO"


you guys serious? Learn to internet...any show you could ever want is online. You can actually stream HBO if you know what you're doing.

more difficult than you would think, HBO shows are hard to find on the internet to. I looked for entourage for awhile and didnt find anything

I called comcast to sign up for HBO and they told me I would have to buy a whole new cable package and a new cable box. I just wanted one channel but the price would end up being $130 bucks. fuck that

I cant believe you are amazed like this... I live with people who work like mexicans to barely get by. I have great respect for these people. But on the other hand, these people believe in friends over cash. They are the perfect image of communism, helping eachother without any need for money. I also live in Canada, so these people are everywere.
