The show admittedly has a very "bro" feel to it. It is misogynistic, but that's kind of the whole point of it. These are a bunch of kids from Queens that get thrust into the completely alien world of Hollywood, in other words, you can take the guys out of Queens but you can't take Queens out of the guys. This is probably how they acted in their neighborhood when they were growing up, the show just demonstrates how someone like that would act when suddenly surround by boatloads of money and beautiful women. The show also has a pretty negative view of cocaine, seeing as Vince got addicted and all of his friends staged an intervention for him. All they pretty much do is booze and pot. I'm surprised that you guys appreciate quality television and filmmaking and don't realize this show is extremely well-written and creatively shot. The dialogue has a natural flow to it that is hard to find these days, and I can imagine this is exactly what would happen if a kid from Queens suddenly hit it big and brought his childhood friends along for the ride.

Eh, I didn't think Entourage was THAT bad. It wore thin enough pretty quickly, but Jeremy Piven alone made it a fun watch for a while.

Hmm. I watched much more of Entourage than I would care to admit, and I don't think I ever once saw anyone on the show wear a fedora. So that's a puzzling headline…

This article is presumptuous, erroneous, and overall poorly written. Not good journalism, folks! Take your single-minded bias out of it. I could point to various things that aggravated me in the article, but I won't waste my time. Many people adore this show. In fact, Ari Gold is one of the most memorable TV characters of all time and his character one of the most beautifully written. If you're going to write, don't write like an angry, cynical, inexperienced teenager and provide something worth reading. IndieWire, this Drew Taylor guy needs to go.

Lisa, you do realize this was written two years ago, right? also, Gawker and Jezebel are both light years beyond this site in composition and substance. right?

Wow, another embarrassing Playlist article written by a journalist who should work somewhere like Gawker or Jezebel. Pure garbage.

I know it's in vogue to shit on Entourage these days, especially with its lackluster last few seasons, but stop trying to act like the show had no value. It was tremendously entertaining, at times very funny, and full of memorable characters (okay, mostly Ari, but still). For people interested in the film industry, it was a fun, satirical look behind the scenes that even Hollywood execs admit was highly accurate. The same sort of revisionist backlash has taken place against "Sex and the City", basically because high-brow bloggers have forgotten a very important aspect of television: entertainment.

Basically, leave the bros alone.
