How to make it in America

HBO has decided to renew its new project ‘How to make it in America’ for a second season consisting of another bunch of 8 episodes.

I got wind of the series online through some random clicks and I stumbled upon the opening track of ‘How to make it in America’ –a series that follows two New York late twenty somethings :Ben Epstein , an FIT dropout now working in a Barneys jeans store and freewheeling Cam Calderon trying to make it into the fashion scene of New York .

Now that doesn’t mean that its all fashion scene and milieu .This is about them struggling to even get a peep in ,into the lucrative yet seemingly impossible to break into business. And then they have rents, ex–con cousin and broken ,wandering relationships to take care of and avoid, in no particular order.

Although tagged as a comedy, it isn’t quite actually..its mellow and still in the works .After all its just into its first season-but I liked what I saw .Especially the title track over which the credits run over . The picturisation of the title track ‘I need a dollar’ by Aloe Blacc is something that will get anybody to stay a little while longer with the show..its that well shot and a very catchy number .

How to make it in America, is not blockbuster stuff, but this series from the creators of Entourage has promise.
