Alas, not all HBO shows remarkably improved this year. How to Make It in America went from being just watchable in its freshman season to slightly interesting during its sophomore outing.
Full disclosure: the main reason I watch this show is the magnetically charming Bryan Greenberg (Ben), but I still hope the show will be good!
Seeing now how high it rates on IMDb (8.4/10 today), I’m starting to think that maybe I’m just not the demographic the producers are after.
The show centers around Ben’s friendship with Cam (Victor Rasuk) and their efforts to get rich and famous by launching a successful clothing line. There are friends, relatives, and business partners, and the action takes place in the hippest and liveliest of locales: New York City. It all sounds very exciting right? And yet, the end result is less than the sum of its parts.
At this point I don’t know if I’ll be watching season 3. It’s a possibility, mostly because how can one say no to Mr. Greenberg, but I might just drop it from my lineup.
Grade: 6
