And that is why How To Make It In America is capitalist porn.
It's fascinating to watch two recovering slackers launch a fashion line in NYC and it's impossible not to cheer for them to succeed. And even though we're writers and not entrepreneurial designers, I can identify with their aspirations for greatness. I love that they're chasing their dreams against all odds and I'm right there with them.
Bryan Greenberg is hot, but the real star of the show is New York City. I've never seen the city captured quite like this before. I might be a Cleveland girl, but like so many writers my dreams are tied up somewhere in NYC.
Can't knock the hustle.

That's awesome. So are the grass roots protests in New York and other cities against corporate greed, which is preventing some of the rest of us from having a decent life. Thanks for sharing something positive.
Capitalist porn is right. I might have to get HBO just for this.
Hell no you can't.
I've not even heard of this show! Would love to watch it sometime...but that would mean being done with stuff i am not yet done with. Sigh.

Dammit. It's on HBO.
My hubby and I have GOT to have a heart-to-heart. All of the good shows are on HBO these days . . .

I LOVE this show, everytime I watch it I feel inspired to do something more and not give up. :)
I HAVE HBO, I HAVE HBO, I HAVE HBO.
You had me at capitalist porn.
So I personally feel the American Dream is but a myth, but I'll let my forthcoming novels give you the details.
I think the idea of "making it" in America is a fascinating one. I imagine short stories narrated by members from various corners of our society.
