What I’m Watching: How to Make It in America


How to Make It in America: Season 2, Episode 7 “The Friction” (B+)

Just when things were looking up, everything’s falling apart, and, surprisingly enough, it doesn’t have anything to do with the fact that Ben is sleeping with Nancy. After all of their hard work, it’s unfortunate to see Ben and Cam so let down by Yosi’s excitable announcement of “Crisp by Yosi.” It seems that one of the guys is almost always for a move while the other is somewhat more against it. Cam was dead set against it, mainly because he wants to be an employer rather than an employee, and I imagine this is going to be a lasting point of contention between him and Ben. The revelation that it was Nancy who recommended Yosi and not the other girls represents a major negative development, and I think that the boys are going to be to square one after this. Cam may be in even worse shape with Rene after him looking to give him a beatdown for his collaboration with Domingo in selling the weed spray with the Rasta Monsta name. The East Flatbush Caribbean League’s involvement is definitely not a good step either. Debbie’s pregnancy comes as something of a surprise, and I’m wondering whether Rene will actually stick around. Unsurprisingly, Rachel is out of a job, and after some shrooms and an argument for free soup, she’s going to need a fresh start. Kaplan going to see Rene about prison was quite entertaining, and I do hope he’ll be alright. It’s crazy to realize that next week is the show’s season finale, but I suppose we’ve come pretty far this season.
