When I first heard about Entourage, it was through finding out that Deadwood had been cancelled. Deadwood was my favourite show, and I was not happy. I decided to download an episode of Entourage to see what my beautiful western had been cancelled for. And it turns out, it's something almost worth it.
Entourage is all about a fictional up and coming movie star, Vincent Chase, played by Adrian Grenier, and his group of friends - his entourage. This group includes his manager and best friend Eric (Kevin Connolly), driver Turtle (Jerry Fararra),and chef Johnny "Drama" Chase (Kevin Dillon). The real star of the show though is the foul-mouthed agent Ari (played by the amazing Jeremy Piven), who consistently delivers memorable one liners, as well as quoteable monologues - if Ari can't make you laugh, you don't have a soul.
The numerous guest stars and real life Hollywood stars making cameo appearances (including Scarlett Johanson and James Cameron) are also a real treat, and really makes you believe you are watching Hollywood life the way it actually is, and you will be green with envy. Each episode is only half an hour long, but has incredible replay value - this isn't a box set you'll buy and want to sell on eBay after the first viewing.
Each episode, Vince and co attend film premieres, parties, assess possible future projects, and generally live the Hollywood dream. On paper, it doesn't sound like much, but in practice, Entourage scores a perfect ten in every way - it's a perfect comedy - no hideous audience track, this is a comedy with a difference - it is HBO after all. Season 3 aired in America recently, and it's still just as good, perhaps even better. All I can say is I hope, unlike other HBO series, this one stays around for a long, long time.

This is a fast paced funny show that follows movie star Vincent and his friends who are his entourage. It shows the trials and tribulations of a movie star and his best friend trying to look after him and his interests. Be warned though the first season only has eight episodes and each episodes is only 25 minutes long. That is the reason why I havent given it 5 stars and the extras are not the best. If you don't have a lot of time to watch a huge season of drama and you want something fun, then this is definatley worth a look.

As a huge fan of American television, sitcoms, dramas and comedies, it's very hard to find a show that you feel you can watch over and over again without getting bored. Yes, you have Curb, Arrested Development and Scrubs, but every once in a while there comes a show that is simply better than all the rest. That show is Entourage.
Superb characters, Jeremy Piven is easily the best as Ari Gold actually based on the real life manager of Seinfeld and Curb sensation, Larry David. The story and flow of the series gel together along with witty comments, drama (no pun intended) and just an overall awesome series.
The show isn't all about the laughs, in typical HBO fashion, it swims along with a adult theme that makes the show feel 'grown up'. Give it a try, you'll be buying Season 2 in no time...
