Yea, I'm pretty sure Lena wants you to dislike Hannah. I saw some little video clip the other day where Lena was basically making fun of Hannah's terrible fashion. I can't relate to any of the characters except maybe the one who just got a job at the "cool" club. But everyone else is just foreign to me and it's interesting to watch how life works for these type of people. It reminds me a lot of a family member I have who intentional tries to struggle.


I am still absolutely perplexed that some people don't get the fact that the characters are not necessarily intended to be liked or celebrated. They're intentionally portrayed as fricked up.

I am perplexed that you are so adamantly defensive about a show you claim to have barely watched and is not your cup of tea.

she's not "fricked up"

she's a horrible, terrible person

i am still absolutely perplexed that people claim to love a show filled only with horrible characters that nobody can like and very few funny moments that aren't completely cliched

very few funny moments

at the core of it, after 6 pages of discussion, this it what I dont understand seems to be lost in the discussion


It's not funny, it's not entertaining

the parts of the show that are intended to be witty, quirky, funny.....are not witty, not quirky, not funny


and yes, her physical unattractiveness detracts greatly from the show. If I wanted to see a bunch of fat, scraggly, ugly people interacting with each other, I'd go into the office, or grocery store, or the gym.

You can be fat & unattractive or you can be un-funny
.....you cant be both

there is no way on God's green earth that Night Owl would frick Hannah and then beg her to stay at his house, especially being that he's a 42 year old doctor who owns a brownstone.

....and he rejects her after she opens up to him

Over the course of the show she's steadily made it impossible to like all but three characters: Shoshanna, her boyfriend, and Adam.

Adam's probably the best character and he's been missing for the last 4 episodes.

And after making progress the past few weeks, she writes herself an entire naked episode where she has a totally unbelievable hookup and an eventual, equally unbelievable, breakdown to tell us that she's been putting up a front and actually wants to be happy. NO shite!

I don't hate the show like so many here do, but tonight was just painful.

When y'all say Adam is a “good" character, is that because he's likable or something else?
