Entourage Series Finale Review

The series finale of Entourage on HBO was, in one word, terrible. If you had to describe it in two words, it would be, “terrible and predictable.” The series ended in a methodical manner as the writers gave each character their own form of half-assed “closure” which is obviously meant to hold off audiences and fans until the Entourage movie debuts.
The question is, “will anybody care about the characters of Entourage after a boring and systematic series finale that left everyone with the sort of fairytale ending that would make a Disney character jealous?”
During the episode prior to the series finale, we already find out what fate has in store (at least in the short term) for Drama and Turtle. Drama is guaranteed his role in the made-for-TV movie he has been pursuing, but only after some help from Vince’s checkbook. This gives Drama everything he has wanted during the Entourage series, a leading role in a movie (even though it’s only on television) that has the potential to revive his acting career.
All of Turtle’s wildest dreams are also fulfilled as he reaches his ultimate goal of being financially independent from Vince (even though it’s because of Vince’s decision not to sell his share of “Avion Tequila” and buying Turtle’s shares as well). At the end of that episode we already know that Turtle is a multi-millionaire.
We learned what was to become of Ari Gold, Vincent Chase and Eric (“E”) during the Series Finale which aired last night. The two most obvious things that occurred during the finale was Ari quitting the agency and Vince announcing his engagement to a girl he just met (but claimed to have fallen in love with).
In fact, much of the Entourage Series Finale was dedicated to Vince’s abrupt engagement and the relationship between E and Sloan. The entire episode played out as if the entire series was based on some poorly written romance novel with no apparent end. The episode ended with the entire Entourage gang getting on a private plane to Italy, except for Sloan and E who were given their own plane (by Vince) to go where they wanted. Again, no real ending at all.
By far, the best part of the Entourage series finale was a scene that came after the final credits rolled. This scene wasn’t great because of the “twist” it added to what is sure to be part of the Entourage movie’s plot, but because of Mrs Ari Gold (Melissa) parading in front of the camera in a sexy swimsuit and showing off her incredible body right in front of the camera. It may have been the only decent scene shot since the days of “Medellin,” a time in the series when most fans think the series should have come to an end.
