What I’m Watching: Entourage

Entourage: Season 6, Episode 6 “Murphy’s Lie” (B+)

Now that everything was going right for everyone, of course it has to fall apart. Johnny’s attempts to keep his best friend’s girl from getting seduced by his predatory producer are probably the most entertaining of the bunch, since he’s almost as bad as Andrew a few weeks ago trying to remain cool and collected while clearly spying on David Schwimmer. It’s also one of those situations where Johnny’s persistence and devoted efforts to make sure it doesn’t happen actually inspires the future-guilty party to take an active interest in making Johnny’s blood boil. This good streak for Johnny isn’t likely to last after this, and he’ll probably be out of a job before he knows it. Turtle starting school isn’t terribly exciting, so there’s not much to write about concerning that. Vince’s exploits to avoid boredom are extremely entertaining, especially when he forgets that Johnny’s on the phone while he’s otherwise…distracted. I’m a bit worried about Vince being caught on camera, but maybe I’m being a bit too paranoid since this is, after all, just a comedy and there’s presumably no danger. Eric’s renewed interest in Sloane is rather unfortunate since she likely doesn’t want anything to do with him, romantically speaking at least, and now he’s gone and lost Ashley. She does seem like she’s a bit of a nutcase, so it’s probably for the best. The best reaction to the threat of another woman goes to Andrew’s wife, running through the office and shrieking at every girl who looks at her the wrong way. Lizzy’s defiant refusal to let Ari talk down to her is a great showcase of Autumn Reeser’s talents, but I still want to see more of her!
