All in all How to Make It had us interested. Primarily because we are in love with Bryan [Greenberg] and would watch him do just about anything.June 11, 2018
It takes a while to catch on to each character's motivations, and the no-frills script doesn't do a lot of hand-holding. But by the end of the first episode... you feel certain that America may, in fact, be going somewhere.February 14, 2010
Everyone in How to Make It isn't a winner. But the show looks to be just that.May 09, 2018
[It] attempts to hide the fact that it is simply uninspired, barely obscuring that fact with its trend-setting music choices (there is already a free mixtape ready to download on the show's site), anti-fashion clothing, and street talk.June 11, 2018
It never feels genuine, just generic. It's so blatantly cut from the same pattern as Entourage, merely made with inferior fabric.February 14, 2010
I think How to Make It in America has a lot going for it, if show creator Ian Edelman can keep from indulging in New York hipster cliches.June 11, 2018
A loose and affectless (but not devoid-of-charm) half-hour, How to Make It in America is either a mostly laugh-less comedy, or an entirely stakes-free drama.February 14, 2010
Pleasurable, amusing, well conceived and written.June 11, 2018
The road is not easy to travel... There is a fine line between a realistic show that follows characters throughout their day while still being compelling and the show being boring.February 14, 2010
If you're not a fan of hipster posers and the New York young bohemian scene, there's much about How to Make It to rub you the wrong way.February 14, 2010
I had few expectations for the series, in part because of the lack of buzz from HBO, and I found myself pleasantly surprised by the early episodes.June 11, 2018
This sad sack of a show plays like an East Coast, economically challenged version of his HBO hit "Entourage."
