Now to the topic at hand, if the show doesn't grab you within at least the first two episodes, most people sign off on it. In film, it’s the first 10 minutes. If people have to wait until episode 6 for the show to pick-up speed, #Howtomakeit will never see season 2. HBO has a reputation of developing great shows, and I'm getting the feeling that they are losing faith with #Howtomakeit by releasing episodes a full week before their scheduled premiere date. It’s an odd move, but I think at this point HBO are trying to grab as many viewers as they can.
With any show based on the authenticity is vital, #Howtomakeit doesn’t have it. #Entourage, for example, is based on the movie business, if you read any review about that show, you’ll read that it’s the closest depiction of how Hollywood is run on television. That’s a HUGE authenticity badge for the show, which is as we all know is great show. Does the storyline lag once in a blue sure, but it picks up way before you get bored or lose interest in the characters. #Howtomakeit doesn’t have that luxury; it needed to grab us (the viewers) from episode one or two the latest.
I can go on & on about this show (I am an aspiring screenwriter) but I know “wall of text
