It’s back! After a massive hiatus, too long to even remember how long it was, Season 8 Episode 1 premiered last Sunday on the 24th of July. What do I think of it? What did you think of it?

The Boys watching it burn
Season 8 Premiere ‘Home Sweet Home’

Here’s the HBO Recap, to refresh your memory:

Well I loved how it started, with the gang all back on our screens, although I really think Doug missed a great opportunity with Vincent going into rehab, that would’ve been an awesome few episodes with the boys getting loose without their man Vinnie.

Here is my breakdown:
Vincent Chase: OK, so he does the Hollywood thing and does rehab for 90-days so he can get out of jail. As I said it would’ve been nice to see him suffering from boredom watching the ‘news’ etcetera, and maybe even fail a couple of times, who knows? One thing I really dislike is him running away from confrontation, is that really his character? Especially getting pissed off at his friends telling/not telling the truth. He’s beginning to look a lot like Golum – my precccciiiiioouuuuussssssss! A fucking weakling. Will be interesting to see what he does next!

Johnny Drama: We see the usual OCD-type that he is. Cleaning his brothers place, and generally doing the funny shit he always does. No surprises their! And that’s the way we like him. Even having his own successful show makes it easy watching for us fans. Finally nothing to whine about!

E: Love that he broke up with his absolutely stunning fiancee Sloan (played by the beautiful Emmanuelle Chriqui). Now that’s a story that will unfold, and I can’t wait to see what happens. Hopefully she gets featured more in this season (if not check out the cheeky 8 Good Reasons to Marry Sloan). E & Scott being in charge of the firm is quality, and definitely has the potential to brew some crazy stories. While Scott is definitely Eric’s chill pill, way fucking cooler and laid back as. He makes Eric look like a dweeb.

Turtle: Now there’s are two things that need to be said about Turtle, one that he’s lost some fucking weight. He must be a machine now. And two, he was offered a fuckin’ threesome! Damn there is some good things to come out of this boy! Looking forward to it!!

And finally our main man Ari Gold: We have a man crush on this guy. Our hearts died a little when he was trying to win his wife back, and his wife slammed him with the fact that she was seeing someone else. We got a hint of his anger when he was after a drink, and I loved that scene. Ari is the center in which the Entourage world revolves, give us more!!

BUT Out of all the positives for each character, and the fact that one of my favorite series is back, I was still a little disappointed in this episode. My favorite part was still the credit song. In fact here it is before I rant too much about the negatives of this episode. I should just be glad the series is back! BOOM!
