Could Entourage ever be made in today’s climate?

[Robbie3000]

I mean Ballers happened in today's climate. It got thinkpiece'd but kept get running

Good point.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Show was trash and borderline cringeworthy in hindsight

 

[It is a mystery]

Isnt ari based on a real person also named ari who is basically the same person? Nobody is coming for the real Ari as far as I know

I was rewatching some episodes today and I started thinking if there is any chance this show could ever be made in today’s Me Too climate?



The show was a male fantasy and It was a so popular at the time that even Obama was admitted big fan.

There is no way Ari’s character could ever exist on such a large platform, let alone have the president of the U.S admitting to being a fan.

It’s crazy how things have changed in a few years.

Sure it can. It the same way you could make a show about the rat pack. If it is a take on a certain time in history you could just show how people acted then. Same way with mad men and that shyt had black face. Now if you mean could you have the same story lines in 2020s then no because we dont act that way anymore and it would not make sense.

Yeah. Ari is based on a real person. Ari’s brother was Obama’s chief of Staff and later became Chicago mayor.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Yes

 

[BlackAchilles]

They could, but they’d be too afraid to.

we could probably say the same for Californication

Now that's a show that would definitely be too problematic for 2020

 

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

yeah

 

[Rekkapryde]

Yeah, just ignore social media cats who bytch all day

 

[Human Torch]

Damn oddly enough I started rewatching this this week

 

[Verbal Kint]

Yea but they’d make E gay and Sloane would be played by Winston Duke

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Hollywood can make anything they want when it's white people doing it.

 

[JoseLuisGotcha]

It’s a shame how that show fell off

looking back adrian was the main character but was such a trash actor

 

[JerseyBoy23]

Ironically the last two or three seasons of the show were heavily written by a female writer so it would probably be closer to that. But it's not like they really crossed that many lines, from what I remember all the encounters with females were always consensual (even with Turtle).

There would be a lot of thinkpieces about how the show fostered "toxic masculinity" but I'm pretty sure you can find articles about that from feminist websites in the late 2000s.

Does it still hold up? I was going to rewatch seasons 1-3 because I remember those were the best.
