How to Make It in America: Season 1 [Blu-ray]

I cannot wait to get my Blu-ray copy in the mail. As I write this on September 28, 2011 my ordering is pending shipment. I have seen each episode quite a few times already but it will be nice to see a whole bunch straight through instead of having to wait the usual week for the next episode.As for my view of this show, it's amazing. It's a little gritty and sometimes you really do not know what is going to happen. As much as I enjoy the mulitple story lines the only one I could of done a little less with was with Lake Bell and Martha Plimpton. I'm not saying it should of not been included at all, just a little less of it. I do find Lake Bell sexy as hell. A naturally looking beautiful woman.As for the plot lines, the writers have it right. Thank god it's on HBO because they can basically do what they want and make it sort of real. No language or content barriers to deal with make this show so much better. Luis Guzman nails his role as man just out of prison trying to make his way in a sort of, but not quite, honest way. As for they main characters, Ben & Cam, watching them struggle and everything not always coming out right keeps you wanting to see what will happen next.The new season (2nd) is about to start. It's been a real long wait. Other shows that started at the same time are already going on their 3rd seasons why 'How to..' is only on it's second. I guess the actors had to be free from other roles and scripts and locations have to be obtained. Still, if season 2 is anywhere near the 1st season it should be great. I only wish HBO would release the seasons faster. I know they want people to subscribe to their On Demand or watch their channel for it but I love being able to watch them whenever I want on blu-ray.So Amazon, please send me this ASAP. I'm dying here.

HBO made a mistake when it didn't sign on for season 3. I love this show. Honestly, the only reason I started watching is because I'm a big Victor Rasuk fan (he's very under rated). And once I started watching I just could not stop. The first season really draws you in. As the viewer, I really wanted these guys to make it. One guy being laid back and anxious and the other being an all-or-nothing type personality really balances the show. These are the people you want to see win it. They are young, ambitious, broke and using their skills and personality to push forward and BE SOMETHING.I think this show appeals to my generation because it's filled with people who have ambition and don't know HOW to do anything with it. On the flip side, we also have a lot of people trying to make it and scraping by. Also, the characters in the show are at the age where it's make it or break it. If this doesn't work, they'll have to sit behind a desk and hope they don't get fired from their 9 to 5 jobs. This, mixed with personal stories, and the charming edge of the Lower East Side setting really made me love the show. Wish there were more than two seasons.

Humorous and clever. Even though at times I felt it simplifies it too much and makes it seem too easy to make it in a business ( I mean, no business plan at all? Rich classmate? Always someone to save the day at the last minute?). But I guess if the show is too realistic, it won't be on TV. Sad that the show got canceled after season 2.

I don't have HBO so I only heard about the show from advertisements. I watched short clips and cast interviews from Youtube submissions which snared my interest. The series was entertaining. I appreciated the interpretation of the struggle to grab the American dream for oneself ,and I identified with Ben's struggle between the day job we all must have to sustain ourselves and ones true passion. I did feel something was missing within the story. I wasn't as excited to watch each episode and I didn't feel like I cared much for the characters. I am willing to give the series another try and purchase the the second season.

I like the theme of the show. I am a person that will empathize with the character that always does the wrong things but hate them at the same time. You constantly want them to get their life together. Great characters and i love the anticipated climax of eaxh episode. Would be 5 stars but i can go without watching it.

As a new business owner I can relate to the start up struggle, learning on the job and making the right connections. The two guys are polar opposites but make a great balance as business partners and friends. The romance triangle keeps things interesting and I love the designer Boss lady!! Interested to see where the show is going....

Excellent show with great acting that draws you in from the 1st episode.Gives you a perspective on NYC and what it takes to survive in a big business world with little resources.If you own your own business it may light a fire in you to do more to create opportunities that would not otherwise be there.

I only gave it a 4 due to hating Bryan Greenberg's ex. If she (the actress) was someone else, I'd give it 10 stars.I've watched this show many, many times. And I still love it! Wish the show could have had a few more seasons.

Great show.Great DVDs

love it ty

amazing

Entrougeに続く男系TV SHOW、すごいスタイリッシュでドツボだった。シーズン2でキャンセルになって残念！

La bonne critique de telerama sur cette série est elle exagérée : je le pense (nous n'avons pas été plus loin que le second épisode). Episode très court, saisons très courtes. Bref, mauvais achat.
