Is this any good?

  i sincerely enjoyed it. hbo makes quality shows and the guys behind entourage know their shit. it's not tech entrepreneurship, but i can respect the storyline about the hustle.

I was hoping for a documentary-stye show when I saw the title and watched the opening theme, which is well done. But then the episode began and I remembered what HBO is all about.

Just watched the first free episode on itunes. I definitely liked it, as I love Entourage (it's from the same producers). Not sure if it's for everyone though. The way they mix in a more street style hustle/entrepreneurship is cool, and you'll also get more out of it if you're somewhat fashionable.

It could be good and there are some nice little (for most HN people obvious) gems in there such as "Everyone got ideas, no on wants to do the work. Don't tell me what you want to do, show me what you have done and I might write you a check"

It is nice of HBO to actually make a show about people struggling to make money for once. But other than that it does not look very good. They are obsessed with trying to make the main characters look cool, which means a lot of stereotypes and lack of realism. So it will probably be something like entorage (which suffers from the same problem).
