How to Make it in America -- The 2nd Season Thread -- Sundays (HBO)

Synopsis for ""Money, Power, Private School"

Spoiler:
Ben hopes a seemingly meaningless job for Nancy will lead to bigger things; Cam angles for a piece of Domingo's business for some extra cash to afford his own place; a video shoot for Rasta Monsta helps Rene get closer to Debbie; Rachel hears a tip about Ben's romantic status.


Episode 3 of 8


With the Glut of stuff on Sundays and this show's season being so short at only 8 episodes, I figure one thread for the remaining episodes will be sufficient. Those of you who do watch probably aren't going to watch this tonight anyways.

Definitely a nice body on the girl. The face... not so much.

Can't believe there's only 8 episodes. Have to agree on Lake Bell, very nice surprise.

Was this Lake Bell's first topless scene? I knew she had a sick bod, but confirmation is always appreciated.

I like the addition of Gina Gershon to the cast - boy is she hot!


and the whole Rasta scene was hilarious, I'm guessing that alone will get the youtube hits the brand needs.

I don't even watch this but happen to have it on and thought: that's not that horrible rapper Kid Cudi is it? And was about to turn it off and then lo and behold a naked Lake Bell. Things like that make you actually want to watch a show. I ended up watching the rest of the episode but its really just not my thing, however, there's not much on HBO that isn't worth watching whether is your type of show or not.

I really like this show so I know my only comment shouldn't be about the nudity, but that red head has a nice tit.

I had to laugh at Rene trying to pull the ol' switcheroo and getting caught.

Still loving this. Definitely a good post-2008 Entourage. The show is low key and light weight, so it is pretty easy to enjoy.

Anyone know how long the season is? Another 6 episode run or do we get more this time? I think the show is good enough for a full season.

Imdb has 8 episodes listed for this season. I agree though, this show should be a full season with 12-13 episodes.

The 8 episode runs on HBO are weak sauce. Especially when there's a two year wait between seasons. Leave short seasons like that to the Brits.

I really like this show, Cam and Ben are super likeable, and now I feel bad for Kappo..

Good season so far./

Loved this past episode. The scenes with Rene came off genuinely sweet, Rachel in the garden and riding the bikes was nice too, but the best was the ending with Ben hooking up with Nancy. If anyone is wondering the song is called "Midnight City" by M83 and it is available on Spotify.

Ben mixing business with pleasure. ^ Downloaded that song shortly after the end credits finished.

I liked the first season, but I'm loving the second. Hope we don't have to wait 18 months for season 3.
