Amazon.co.uk Review iEntourage/i is everything viewers have come to expect from an HBO series: smart, hilarious, and highly addictive, especially when taken in full-season, DVD form. As implied in the title, the show follows Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier), a rising Hollywood star with bedroom eyes and an over-active libido, along with his three childhood companions-turned-hangers-on. Kevin Dillon plays Johnny Drama, Vincent's less-attractive, B-list actor of a brother (he is Matt Dillon's less-attractive, B-list actor of a brother in real life). Jerry Ferrara plays Turtle, the weasel, and Kevin Connolly appears as Eric, the Everyman hero who hopes to parlay his friendship with Vincent (plus two years of community college) into a career in talent management. Along the way Eric contends with the predictable self-doubt, romantic indecision, etc. The cast is rounded out by Jeremy Piven (Doug Hughley from Singles) as a foul-mouthed agent reminiscent of Jay Mohr's short-lived Peter Dragon character. Finally, it's produced by Marky Mark himself--and you've got to believe that guy knows something about the star-entourage relationship. If possible, watch with a friend so you'll have someone to quote lines back to later. i--Leah Weathersby /ip The most clever thing producers did with the second season of Entourage, HBO's hip and hilariously accurate depiction of Hollywood, was to take the boys out of Hollywood. Sending star-on-the-rise Vincent Chase and his boys from Queens into places like Sundance and ComiCon created a whole new treasure trove of inside jokes, and for that we thank them. The usual clutter of celeb cameos abound (Hugh Hefner, Pauly Shore, Ralph Macchio,), but one main story arc takes up the entire season: Vincent's casting in iAquaman/i, the big-budget movie he didn't want to star in, and then had to vie against Leonardo DiCaprio to get. Mandy Moore turns up as the only girl who ever broke Vince's heart (on the set of iA Walk to Remember/i, allegedly) and now re-enters his life as his Aquagirl, while James Cameron makes a few appearances as director of the superhero project. In the meantime, Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) goes from moocher to music manager, Eric (Kevin Connolly) gets courted to be a big-time agent, and Johnny "Drama" (Kevin Dillon, ever the punchline) ponders calf implants and gets fired from a "Movie of the Week" with Brooke Shields. The biggest turn of events, however, happens to Vince's slick agent Ari Gold (an Emmy-worthy Jeremy Piven), who pulls a "Jerry Maguire" by the end of the season. Ari's ability to switch sides on a dime -- that is, to choke up at his daughter's batmitzvah, then manipulate the family moment into a publicity stunt to lure his client away from a rival, continues to make Piven the firecracker of the bunch. Grenier is slightly less vacuous than last season, but still has the least interesting personality (which could be the point of the show--that it takes a village to make any Joe Actor into a movie star). One interesting extra on the DVD: Executive Producer Mark Wahlberg, on whom the show is based, interviews the cast and producers. The banter is interesting enough, but Wahlberg makes such a dull interviewer it's certain we won't see a talk-show host career in Vince's future. i--Ellen A. Kim/i

Great series March 3, 2009 M. Young (Paris, France) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I really enjoy the first two series was addicted. Had to stop myself from watching them all in night!
Best show on TV March 4, 2009 Duarte Almeida (Lisbon, Portugal) In my opinion, Entourage is by far the best show on television at the moment. Currently on hiatus, the creator Doug Ellin, has given us 5 seasons of the good life: with cars, girls, mansions, endless Hollywood parties, celebrity cameos from Scarlett Johansen to Dennis Hopper and from Snopp Dogg to Kanye West. The first two seasons are great. Really addictive. They depict the rise of Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier), from B-List movie star to A-List headliner, always accompanied by his entourage of friends and family: Kevin Connolly as E, his best friend and manager; Kevin Dillon as Drama, the brother with serious issues trying to make it back after relative success in a cancelled tv show called Viking Quest; Turtle, played by Jerry Ferrara, as Vinnie's friend and errand boy; and last but not least Jeremy Piven as Ari Gold, the high-powered agent who can make anything a reality. Executive produced by Mark Wahlberg, these first two seasons somewhat mimic his rise to fame, with a cameo by the "real" Vincent Chase and his entourage in the first episode. Look out for season 6, coming to HBO this summer.
Great tv show April 9, 2009 Smilie (Denmark) This tv show is a great one of the kind. It has it all I would say :) it has drama and humor.. you feel like you get to know how it is to live in LA!

br /i dont think any young guy could not love this show.
Great, German subtitles by default August 4, 2009 E. Alms (Zürich) This series is so much fun. I'm watching it with my boyfriend and it a kind of Sex and the City for guys. Parties, cars and fun instead of bags and fashion.
br /The subtitles are German on default which is kind of funny, but maybe because I'm ordering from Switzerland.
br /Anyways I can just recommend it.
