Dear bros and broettes,
If you have been following along for the last eight years, you will know that “Entourage” is coming to a close. With two episodes left, I am sad to see it go.
I have a love/hate relationship with it.
I love how Vince, Drama, E and Turtle are family. I love how it shows that friends and family, mores specifically bros, are more important than anything. I hate how nothing really ever goes wrong with this group. I hate how this group gets pretty much anything they want.
Finally, in the season seven finale, Vince loses it. In this season’s opener, Turtle burns down the house. Ari loses control of his life. His life is all about work, his family is an after thought, and now that Mrs. Ari wants a divorce, Ari doesn’t know how to handle it.
Drama is an aging actor that nobody wants to hire. Vinny has projects lined up for him, but the studios don’t see Drama playing the part. Now in this season, NBC picks up “Johnny Bananas” and Drama goes on strike.
E and Sloan call off the engagement because E won’t sign a prenuptial. E isn’t over Sloan, but he sleeps with her ex stepmother. He has so many emotions for her, that it’s affecting his professional career and his relationship with business partner Scott Lavin.
The show is based loosely around producer Mark Wahlberg and his group of friends. What makes the series entertaining is the guests that have cameos. Athletes from Tom Brady to Alex Rodriguez have guest starred. Jimmy Kimmel, Gary Busey, Hugh Hefner, Eminem and Bob Saget have also appeared on the show.
Saget has to be one of my favorites because we think of him as the loving dad from “Full House,” but Saget has the mouth of a sailor.
I’m not able to watch the show Sunday nights, so I am forced to watch it on HBO Go. This week was different from most, in that, HBO has put up next week’s episode for viewing. I’m not going to spoil it, but DAMN.
The events that transpired in the short 27 minutes should set up for a grand finale. There are different sub-plots involving all five main characters.
It should all be resolved, but I would love to see some sort of curveball. I’m also hoping some things aren’t resolved and the rumors of a possible movie become truth.
