How to make it in America(HBO series)

Very NT esque show. I will def be tuning into this. Just seen the first episode and can tell this will be another classic hbo series.
 
Just watched, I'm looking forward to it. Starts Feb. 14th, according to IMDB.
 
It's aight. First show didn't hit me like "damn yo, slammin!" like yall

but hopefully it'll get better as time goes on. 
 
Sadly I'm more of a fan of TV then I am of supreme, dipset, art, and raw denim. So this show just doesn't do it for me.

I'm not sure what the appeal is of this show. It seems a bit transparent to me. Name dropping Japanese denim and NYLON magazine seems as forced as mentioning Bergdorf Goodman on Gossip Girl.

For 30 minute HBO programming is this supposed to be a comedy? If so then where were the jokes? "He who hesitates, masturbates" that was funny in 1999. And the main character talking about his OG 1's, even John Stossel said Give Me A Break.

Next time I feel like seeing forced hipster fashion BS i'll open up a Complex magazine.

You guys are too easy, this is crap televison.

Show looks good.

I would have to say the writers frequent this forum.  Might as well call it nike talk

 Really though, he had such a minor part that you cant even judge his talent off of that. We'll just have to see as the show proggresses.

  
 
Just finished watching it and it was pretty good. I can definitely see myself watching it in the future. Cudi seemed a little extra though....but none the less cool.

I agree with some of these points. 

It's still a pilot so hopefully some of the seemingly forced references are toned down, hopefully it gets a lot funnier because there were only a couple funny moments, and we'll see how they handle some storylines.  I'll be checking it out and has potential, but nothing great yet.

Agreed. They tried to pack in way too much for a pilot. I'm sure it'll slow down as the show progresses.


Thats what pilots do...they set up the basic outline of the show 
There was way too much going on for a pilot. Plus the script and acting was pretty discombobulated.

A 30 minute show doesn't have to be a comedy. In fact, in our ADD society, the 30 minute dramedy is the wave of the future. There might be some humorous moments, but it's not a sitcom.

I enjoy dudes music, but even in those two brief scenes dudes camera presence was so awkward.  Doesn't surprise me, dude always seemed sort of awkward when he worked at Bape

+$@@ is masterpiece theater, but god forbid we like something that involves a lot of the site's interest's.  I mean, is it in the same mode of Entourage where it is kind of some male fantasy of strugglin on the scene and blowing up?  Yea, but that doesn't mean it can't be good.  The acting is way better than Entourage already, I ***% with Greenburg and my man Victor Vargas
