Entourage: Drive - Review

The wait is finally over and the boys of Entourage came roaring back for the sixth season premiere tonight on HBO. This episode had it all: classic Johnny Drama lines, the guys giving E a hard time, Ari treating Lloyd like his lap dog and some Vinnie sexual escapades. Throw in some great naturalistic dialogue and superb editing and this season looks like one hell of a ride. Buckle up because Vince has a drivers license!

Creator Doug Ellin is one smart guy. He knows that the fans are split right down the middle with half of them longing for the days when the guys were carefree and talking smack all the time and the other half looking for character growth and development. So what does he do? He gives us both without it feeling forced. This show has always been about friendship and it was put on ample display without being sappy. And he managed to give some screen time to every single character in the shows arsenal. Nicely done Doug.

The episode didn't have any crazy surprises and in fact not much happened at all but it did have a solid story with great banter. I was actually pretty surprised how laid back everything was. It seemed more like a mid season episode instead of a premiere of a show that hasn't had a new episode in 8 months!! Not that I'm complaining at all.
