‘Entourage’ still enticing
After an admittedly unpleasant fifth season, “Entourage” rocked the first episode of the new season and has managed to make the show interesting again.
The writers have finally realized that the three supporting members of Team Vince deserve their own spotlight moments. Vince has always been the show’s Ferris Bueller, while Eric (and the rest of the crew) plays Cameron. Anyone who says otherwise is lying.
What’s really impressive is the way the writers have developed Turtle into a real person. He’s been the generic pseudo-street, stoner horn dog for the majority of the show, and to see him question his role, as well as his future, has been the show’s biggest transformation. His relationship with über-hot Jamie-Lynn Sigler doesn’t hurt, either.
Even Johnny Drama grew up this season when he stood up to the studio executive who challenged the Sigler character’s integrity.
Of course, the show isn’t up to the caliber set by the first three seasons, but most sitcoms don’t last more than seven or eight years, anyway. But with the new focus on the full “Entourage” cast rather than just Vince, E, and Ari, I wouldn’t be surprised if HBO cranks out at least two more seasons.
