 Excellent Until Season 4... September 1, 2008
0 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought the Entourage series on a Gold Box Deal--a whim. I don't have HBO and had barely even heard of the show, so I had nothing to compare to. The show starts off in Season 1 as a great watch. The cast is memorable and humorous, and the story line is pretty easy to follow however I'd be hard pressed to stay attentive week to week after a 30 minute stint for each show. I tell my friends who've never heard of it that it's a male version of Sex in the City--but not really. This show doesn't focus on relationships, rather an actor and his brother, cousin, and best friend and their "lavish" life in California. Vince, the main character plays the excellent role in being a "not so perfect" actor who in the end tries to stay true to his original game of what he was born to do--acting. Drama, his brother is absolutely hilarious. Check out the "Saigon" episode; I still chuckle at him in Walsh's hotel room.
Turtle and Eric's characters are true staples in the show. They do more in providing the assists for the humor rather than being the punchlines themselves.
Ari is the absolute quiet thunder in this entire show. He starts out as "Vince's Agent", but is really so much more to the group. His antics and quips are the most hilarious. His funniest line (to me) is in one of the episodes where he's trying to land Vince the huge movie. (I'm not into spoilers)
Watching all the shows together lets you see the evolvement of all the actors. While Seasons 1-3 had some great runs and a nice ending, Season 4 actually kind of milked itself. I've got all of one sentence to say about Season 4 (out of them all). Although it had the same amount of humor as the others--it did evolve in that sense, the actual plot took 12 shows to hash out! The show kinds of leaves you to carry out your own assessments: Turtle isn't working with anyone since Saigon and Drama probably isn't cooking because he's so busy with the new show. There's more, but I won't dwell. I don't plan to watch Season 5 until it finishes, then I'll probably download it from iTunes or something to that effect.
As I say with all movies and DVD packs, it's better to wait until their cheaper or on sale.
 great season September 6, 2008

I was surprised by how many people didnt like drama's and Turtle's role in this season. I didnt expext drama to cook for the group forever, his career takes off in this season, and he might have finally found his true love.
I do have to admit little has change with turtle. He's just same old Turtle. This is something the writers should change next season
Another major player is billy walsh the director of medellin and QB, and his struggle with producer eric.
Even after a huge hit like aqua man vincent chase still has a hard time getting a movie role.
Ari's character really changes this season as he becomes a little emotional about events that he cant control. By far my favorite character in the show.
Eric is learning more about managing and producing and is trying to establish his career as such.
All and all my wife and I enjoyed the season and this is one of our favorite shows.
More of the same, but is that a bad thing ? September 12, 2008
I've seen all the seasons of entourage and this one doesn't disappoint. And as for the reviewer that says the Jane's Addiction "Superhero" intro is "nowhere to be found" is... well, uh wrong. In the first episode it doesn't come in right away but the intro we all know and love is most assuredly in every episode.
One thing I was a little disappointed in was that Turtle's girl (Rufus' daughter) from the last season is no where to be found. Not that I really cared if she was on the show again, but there's not even an explanation for her departure. If she had been kept in though, I feel that Turtle's character could have been developed a bit more. At least we find out where Sloan and E stand.
There is a repetitive nature to the show that is starting to take it's toll on the enjoyablility of the series. It just seems that every single episode the boys find some project, or something goes right, then 2 minutes later some little quirk happens that turns it into a complete disaster and vice versa. It just kind of feels like nothing ever sticks and it can become a little tedious at times. I've also found that Lloyd's character is starting to become annoying.
All in all it's basically the same entourage that has been a success over 4 seasons so maybe it's a good thing. I'd actually give this DVD set 4 and a half stars if I could, but I figured I'd round up since I am a fan of the series and the season. If you enjoyed the other seasons of entourage you're bound to enjoy this one, but there may be times when you start to grow a little tired of the same plot formats.
Great and entertaining series! September 13, 2008
I love Entourage. I think its one of the best shows hbo has. The 4th season was very entertaining. I thought it was great how they kept you wondering on whether Medellin was good or not and then there was the ending which had the usual entourage flair and style that we all have come to love. I look forward to the 5th season.
 A bit of a letdown... September 16, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've really enjoyed seasons 1-3, even when season 3 couldn't seem to find another storyline that making Medellin. The first episode of season 4 was awful -- I barely made it through. By far the best part of season 4 was Ari and his attempts to do good in his devilish way. Vince was likable as always, but nothing noteworthy. Eric was in over his head and I get that he's supposed to be growing as a person after spending all this time in LA but I'm just not liking the fact that it's starting to go to his head. Turtle and Drama are great when they appear, but what happened to real storylines of their own? Turtle's career and dates? Seeing Drama in action without Turtle? I'll keep watching the series, but it's just not as good as the first few seasons.
