Customer Reviews

A Good Start
Entourage would be an easy programme to dislike, it seems to pander to the current fascination with all things celebrity. And that is how it begins with more emphasis on the celebrity guests than the later episodes. The strength of the show however is in the relationship between the group of friends and the dialogue between them. In this it's very much like Swingers the dialogue is quotable rather than laugh out loud funny and you can imagine if it ever got shown over here some of the lines would be heard in pubs every weekend. The problem is the dialogue and relationships grow much stronger in the second series and the first one just isn't as good. It's still good though and the soundtracks would be fantastic.

Great drama of the Hollywood Dream
I don't think this show ever aired in the UK, but it really should be picked up by a Terrestrial British network - it is that good. Almost the anti-Sex and the City, Entourage follows megastar Vincent Chace, and his 'entourage' - his failed actor older brother Johnny Drama, useless old school-friend Turtle, and his best-friend-cum-manager E, as they move from the mean-streets of Queens to the bright lights of Hollywood.

Slickly produced in the best HBO tradition, it is lent an air of authenticity by being Exec Produced by "Dirk Diggler" Marky Mark, a man renowned for his own bevvy of hangers-on. It is to the show's credit that it doesn't lose itself in the sea of scantily-clad women and fantasy parties, but instead boasts impressive plot and character development, using the backdrop of Hollywood debauchery as the show's style, rather than its substance.

Special mention must go to Jeremy Piven (of "Swingers" fame) as Vincent's quick-talking, hyper-arrogant agent. He steals the show in every scene he's in, and can always be counted on to bring out the best work from the other actors - often their gobsmacked facial impressions seem to be more than merely acting...

Destined to become to the male populace what Sex and the City was to women (and about time we had our revenge), its a hugely impressive and amusing romp - highly recommended.

At least its realistic
Just discussed with a friend that at least so far the show seemed real, at least in the setting of movie star California. There are no forbidden loves and no hidden love childs and with Mark Wahlberg producing and admitting that there is a certain realsim to the show I would like to see the continuation of season two.
