but don't claim there was no characterization in BB
Never did.
Here are some comments from this thread

But every person on the show a a piece of shite.
quote:
But there is not a single likable character
quote:
Hard for me not to find something redeemable in a character, but these whiny girls make it easy.
quote:
None of the characters really have any redeeming value
quote:
And none of the other characters are even in the slightest bit redeeming.
The show is about post college, early 20 somethings. Of course they are self absorbed and dumb. That doesn't mean they are irredeemable. How many people aren't self absorbed and dumb at that time in their life?
Just funny to me that so many think of these characters as awful, but didn't see much of that critique during the BB bonanza. shite, there was even a Team Todd movement.

Breaking Bad is about Meth Dealers. I would kind of expect that they aren't going to be particularly likable characters. Not to mention that Breaking Bad wasn't billed as a comedy with Jud Apatow involved in the show.
The Wire didn't have any likable characters in it either but it was about crack and heroin dealers in Baltimore. That was kind of the point.
I guess with Girls the hype made me think it was going to be something that it clearly was not.

well hannah is irredeemable
so to make her even more crazy, they literally OUT OF NOWHERE made her fricking crazy
there are good people who are 20 somethings (just like there are black people, even though this show acts like there aren't)

BB wasn't hailed for its realism or how it defined a generation. it was a crime thriller that required a suspension of disbelief. girls is supposed to be a show that requires no SoD, at least if you belief the hype
show me where BB was hailed for its realism
