In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Great show! I am totally get hooked on it! I watch it today for few hours and I can not believe that it was canceled! I love the hole crew and i think that is really rare to find such a crew! There was chemistry even in a first episode! PILOT can you imagine?! If HBO somehow didn't cancel it this show would be huge success! Lake Bell gorgeous! Although in second season her haircut was awful! The guy that was canceled this show should be punished somehow! I normally do not watch TV shows in a row like today! I am like addict and it is a huge disappointment to me when i was find out that are no season 3! GREAT SHOW and huge disaster for HBO! Big mistake! How long this review should be so i can get it posted? :D I can not understand why HBO does even broadcast it even more when they have canceled it? What's the point? Do they like to disappoint viewers? Can they acknowledge they mistake and get the crew back again and shot the season 3? This show remind me a little on Jack & Jill. And i love NY shows!

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

I started out watching the first season last year and forgot about the show 3 episodes in. This year my attention was brought back to it by some friends, so I decided maybe I'll give it another try. Being 2 episodes in, the show seems to have become more pretentious. As someone who is in the age range of the characters and having lived where they are living while trying "to make it", this show gives NYC a very fake feel. Yes NY is hard, but how many people are trying to make it in the clothes business???? Not many I know. And if they are, it is not so glamorous to be broke. (broke? are they really that broke to be able to afford trips to Japan, pop up store fashion showcase, to live in Manhattan, etc)The characters are not deep at all, and Luis Guzman's character reminds of a less intelligent Tony Soprano wanna-be. I can't see a person like that actually existing and thriving in NYC. Instead of creating this show, Wahlberg should have just kept Entourage on. I have a feeling "How to Make it in America" will not be making....

As someone who lived in the same neighborhood that a lot of this show was filmed in and hung out at similar establishments, I thought I would enjoy this latest HBO offering as they seem to have the best shows these days.However after the opening credits, it's all downhill from their, I enjoy the editing and soundtrack, but not much else.I know the show is done by the same people that do Entourage, but a lot of it seems like they just took unproduced Entourage scripts, changed the characters and locations and shot those. Kid Cudi and Martha Plimpton, the best characters on the show, are hardly in it. Eddie Kaye Thomas's skills as an actor are being horribly used as he has one of the worst conceived and written characters ever. Ben is simply not likable. Finally is the character of Cam, who is probably the most irritating character on the show (Damn near ruined one of my favorite Violent Femmes songs for me). All in all, this show is let down, there is much room for improvement, and hopefully said improvement will be made.
