Entourage - Season Three, Part 1

My husband and I ration episodes because we enjoy this show so much. The characters (esp. Drama and Turtle) are likable and the stories are witty.

Personally, this is the beginning of the flourishing of the careers of all those crazy guys (except for Ari). What I don't fully understand is how they would sell this season in two parts like that. To make more money? Still, this is a great addition to a wonderful series.

I Own The Other box sets of the show before this and this one but the show seems to be losing some of its ingenuity for entertainment no disrespect still a good show just seems to have started to fall back on already established sitiuations and perdicaments.

Season 3, Part 1 continues the trend of exceptional writing, great locations, and excellent (yet relevant) guest appearances that 'Entourage' viewers have come to expect in this series.

Season 3, Part 1 begins where Season 2 left off. Since shooting James Cameron's 'Aquaman', Vince has reached a level of stardom reserved for the Pitts, Cruises, and Clooneys in our "normal" world. As promised, the lucrative offers have reappeared for Vince in the wake of Aquaman's success, as has a certain movie about a Columbian drug lord.

Like its predecessors, Season 3, Part 1 is filled with witty dialogue, Hollywood in-jokes, memorable moments, fantastic locations, and everything in between. What sets this particular season apart from the others for me is the character development and progression of the show's major characters. Entourage is a fantastic show, yet a show dedicated solely to a mega-movie star it is not. As such, the shows "other" characters have time to develop, and they do this no better than in this season. When Turtle's rapper finally makes it big, when Drama gets cast for a pilot, when Eric gets the opportunity of a lifetime with Sloan and Tori, you feel genuinely happy for them.

However, for me the biggest character improvement from season to season is Vince. Adrian Grenier has become a fantastic actor, a role that he perhaps was born for. However, Season 1 Vince and Season 3 Vince seem to be two completely different persons; while Season 1 Vince lacked any real depth and came off a bit shallow, Season 3 Vince exists for a much deeper purpose, (he even steals a few scenes along the way), all the while coming off much less dim-witted than he did in Season 1.

Jeremy Piven reprises his role as Ari; little needs to be said, other than it is very evident why he won an Emmy for this role. He has some of the very best scenes and lines in this season of any comedy series (a certain Carmen Electra comment in 'The Release' comes to mind).

With its cliffhanger (though, perhaps, this is still not a strong enough term) of an ending, I am thoroughly awaiting Season 3, Part 2's release on DVD tomorrow so that the many questions left unanswered become resolved.

Overall, Season 3, Part 1 is fantastic. For me, I still rate Season 2 above it due to its thorough storyline and the split nature of Season 3, however this does not diminish the qualities that made this season an absolute joy for me to watch each Sunday night.

A must have DVD set.

I don't really know how to review this without giving too much of the plot away.Lets just say that Ari Gold opens his own agency.The only way is up and thats the way the quality of season three is going(If at all possible).
If you enjoyed one and two you will love three.
