Fame, fortune and fired agents.
The Lowdown: With the starring role in Medellin having slipped through Vince’s fingers and Ari subsequently given the boot, the gang turn to sexy new agent Amanda. Furious with himself for losing Hollywood’s hottest talent, Ari sets about finding a way to turn things around and get Vince back on the books.
Review: If you’re unfamiliar with the exploits of actor Vincent Chase and his buddies as they attempt to navigate the cutthroat Hollywood movie industry, allow me to enlighten you. To put it simply, to watch Entourage is to discover your new favourite TV show. Rammed to the rafters with celebrity cameos, snappy dialogue and amazingly well crafted and endearing characters, Entourage has been enthralling ITV2 viewers since it first appeared back in 2004. After three seasons though, you’d be forgiven for expecting the show to have lost its edge and suffer from a touch of repetition. Suffice to say, you’d be wrong.
Being a show that’s heavily reliant on the superb performances of its ensemble cast, Entourage naturally takes a turn for the better in this box set when the action sees a dramatic change in Vince’s ex-agent Ari. Having lost his biggest client to a rival agent, the abrasive, smart-mouthed shark goes through a metamorphosis of sorts. Showing compassion for a temporarily blind employee and treating those below him with uncharacteristic respect, it’s a situation that sees Jeremy Piven getting to have even more fun playing the show’s most entertaining character. With his performance reason enough to invest in the box set, it’ll come as a further delight to see that the rest of cast also bang out sound performances with the usual oomph. As such, Entourage remains one of the most consistently captivating shows on the box today. Terrific stuff.
