How to Make it in America


Not too many people down under are clued in on HBO's newest show, How to Make it in America. Pitched as Entourage vs Sex in the City, this hipster-centric show is set in NYC and follows two friends trying to form a jeans label in the harsh fashion world.
They party, smoke dope, and 'hustle'.. mix that with great music (they've already released a killer mixtape - download here), witty dialogue, and sharp cinematography, and the show is fast becoming one of my favourites.

Featuring a cast of Bryan Greenberg, Victor Rasuk (Tony Alva in Lords of Dogtown), Kid Cudi (yeah, that's right), Shannyn Sossamon and Luis Guzman (outstanding as Renee, my favourite character so far), and produced by entourage luminaries Mark Wahlberg & Rob Weiss, the show is sure to pick up heat quickly and become a surefire hit.
