Entourage has been one of my guilty pleasures over the eight years it's been on. Last season was my favorite: Vince's (AdrianGrenier) decline into coke and sex addiction with his girlfriend Sasha Grey,the porn star; Ari's (Jeremy Piven) self-destructiveness in the face of afailing marriage; Johnny Drama's (Kevin Dillon) inability to get his careergoing; E's (Kevin Connolly) going Hollywood and losing the girl; and Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) in search of life as a businessman.

And then the season ended with Vince going into rehab.

Enter season 8, the worst yet. The "good" Vince comes out of rehab andproceeds to fix everything for his pals and for himself, turning a bitchy CondeNast reporter into his wife. He fixes things for E with his girlfriend andhires a private plane so they can go off and honeymoon. He saves Turtle by notselling his shares in the vodka company he helped launch, thus making hishomeboy a millionaire. He buys off a producer so his brother Johnny can star ina movie. Except for the scene where the director blows his head off on a coke binge while Vince tries to talk him down, it's all goody goody.

Improbably, the one person who figures things out on hisown, is Ari the agent who manages to save his marriage by giving up his job andmoving to Europe, though an epilogue leaves us wondering if he'll reconsider andreturn for a bigger job.

After all, we've been promised a movie so we need some hookto keep us interested.

I'm there.
