The season finale of Entourage just aired two days ago and I hated it so much I didn’t even feel like posting the review I promised. Yes folks, HBO has done it again, they’ve managed to end another epic series in the most horrifying of ways. Let’s go back to season one to know why this blogger (and almost every Entourage fan) is mad at the finale. Entourage started off as a show about friends, a group of friends living together, it was about the feeling of brotherhood and what it felt like to share the same house and car. It showed us what it felt like to share your fame with the people you love, with the people who surround you, your entourage. Over the years the show has groomed into an amazing series, from the boys coming from nothing to becoming big in Hollywood, it was an awesome ride. The thing I loved about Entourage is the inside look it gave of Hollywood and how life is with people there. Every scene inside a real studio or with a real director (James Cameron appeared in several episodes as himself) were just so involving and inviting. It made me want to be a part of that lifestyle.
Entourage showed me parts of Hollywood I never knew existed, the money-hungry agents, the blood-thirsty studios fighting over movie scripts and directors, the high-end executive class hotels and restaurants which were only accessible by a chosen few. The private jets, the hotel suites, all of which were shot in their real forms is what made Entourage so amazing. But ever since Season 6 started off, it slowly lost its touch. It slowly became a show about women, about girlfriends, about relationships. I thought it was just a segue into something even greater, but it just kept progressing in that same digressing stage. Season 7 really kicked it up a notch by introducing Sasha Grey, the porn star, in the mix. She played herself the entire season of ten episodes and drove it down deeper in the ground.
Season 8 was announced as the last season. I thought it was going to be an amazing piece of work. I thought it was going to be Entourage’s way of showing its fans how good it can make a comeback. But alas, it kicked it up a much greater notch towards being lame and slow. The last season was announced to have a mere eight episodes and it was supposed to be the “complete” end to Entourage. But the season was a complete waste of writing and recording. It was eight episodes, each driving the fans’ expectations more down the ground. It had about two good episodes, but the rest were just a waste.
Now to the finale, when it comes to a SERIES FINALE its a big thing. The finale was supposed to sum everything up. It was thirty minutes of the most pathetic writing I’ve seen in TV history. Sophia, the morale-high journalist, was supposedly OKAY with marrying a Hollywood star just after a day of dating him? Vince, the Hollywood star, who would never even think of settling down, was okay with MARRYING a girl he hardly knows? Ari, the biggest and most powerful agent in the business, was crying and moping like a little girl? Drama had no role in the episode at all except for being Drama. Turtle, who supposedly became a millionaire in the last episode, doesn’t even mention the business in this one? Sloan, the super-hot girl with a decided mind, was ready to travel with Eric alone in a private jet? IS THIS ENTOURAGE OR A DISNEY MOVIE?!
They’re making a movie now, I just hope it’s not as sappy as this. Whatever happened to the show where the guys were riding in their newly bought Rolls Royce jamming to “99 Problems”? Entourage will be missed.
