I watched all of season 1 and 2, and I will admit that there were decent episodes. However the acting of some of the characters is really bad, like they are reading the script off a teleprompter.
Season 3 has sucked so far, with no raw emotion to the uncle passing. In fact I thought the whole script around this was crap.
There are cliché' monologues that are poorly delivered and seem like the PR department went overboard making it politically correct. Making the delivery unrealistic.
The mother and her Asian boyfriend dynamic seems fake and over the top.
The gay sister is horrible in her delivery.
The uncle was OK, but they killed him off.
The best friend manager and his wife are boring stereotypes.
The mother is a decent actress, but the interactions with the rest of the cast drag down her performance.
Comparisons to Entourage are way off base, the acting is sub-par to this great series. The only commonality is the underlying story of first generation wealth and the relationships with family and friend around this topic. In fact some of the episodes are (poor) copies of Entourage episodes, like the episode where friends from where they grew up were bad influence and cause trouble, among others.
I wanted to like this show, it is a good topic, but it feels like it falls short on its potential. Don't waste your time.
