Goodbye Entourage


 Couple of weeks ago was the last episode of Entourage on HBO after 8 long years and 96 episodes.  I had mixed emotions when the show ended, I was very disappointed in season 8 by far the shows worst one. But I’m not going to harp on that just sad to see it go off the air I got on the Entourage bandwagon a little late during season one after watching the first season I became a fan. The show had its ups and downs but the two characters that really stood out for me was Ari Gold and Johnny Drama.

Watching Entourage was about more than just the money, and the flashy cars, and celebrity guest appearances. It was about friendship, and male camaraderie. It was about loyalty, and reliability. Eric Murphy was blindly loyal to Vince, and despite not always seeing eye to eye, they both knew that ultimately they had one another’s interests at heart.



It was also possibly for most people to relate to the range of characters, because of how different they all are. They all attempted to become something, and did it in their own ways. None of us can ever know what it feels like to be best friends with a multi millionaire film star, but we can all empathize with struggle and challenges. The characters dealt with these issues in the same way that you or I would, with their closest friends around them.


It’s a shame such an influential show had to come to an end, but sometimes it's better to end something too soon, rather than let it drag on and become stale. Most characters had found their calling, with only a few loose ends to be tied up, will Jonny Bananas be as successful as everyone thinks? Will Ari take his dream job after barely rescuing his marriage, can Vince be faithful, and will Turtle and Drama hook up with someone? And also, how short will Eric and Sloan’s baby be? A lot of questions still need to be answered, roll on the movie.
