    Like Dunham's film or IFC's Portlandia, this show prioritizes its faithfulness to the cultural moment. And, anchored by gorgeous production design and the pop naturalism of its performances, How to Make It in America dramatizes this particular cultural moment with uncommon style and a little grace as well.

    It's nice to see that in the first three episodes of the eight-episode second season, the plots, such as they are, have a little more discipline and focus than they did in season 1.

    This show has always had charm, but Season 2 is way more evolved in every way. The characters are coming into their own, and the stakes have definitely increased for everyone. This season already seems sexier, and more fun. I like that Rachel has her own storyline too. Cant wait to see what happens...… Expand

    I still do not understand why HBO cancelled the show, during the second season, things got real and I wish it'll go back on an other network ... Great Show ! Crisp forever !… Expand
