Girls on HBO (I don't get the hype?)

never watched it but I wouldn't expect it to be good

I fricking loathe the show. My wife likes it. None of the characters are likable. The main fat girl is disgusting and for some reason has to write herself naked in every goddamn episode. We get it. You want the audience to feel uncomfortable about how comfortable you are with your body. We are not uncomfortable. We are disgusted, you fat frick.

its the usual sex-driven, gay/lesbian agenda, females sleeping around type of bullshite that most critics love. I've seen a few episodes and I'm not a fan.


(btw I'm pro-gay marriage so I'm not judging it based on that in anyway, but the fact is that is one of the main agenda's being pushed to the American public nowadays on television and the critics/media love it)

but I don't see how this show is anything special or innovative

---

it's a celebration of people with a certain set of values, so those people love it

do you dream of moving to NYC and living amongst a bunch of poor people who refuse to get a real job when they prove they're not able to succeed in their dream...and act like their collective failures in life constitute some sort of culture?

if not, you probably wouldn't like girls

it's terribly un-funny, and premise is 100% unbelievable: no living, breathing male would ever knowingly, willingly have sex with that fat, ugly bitch


......and worst tattoo ever, looks like something a 5 year old would scribble on the back of a kid's menu

I like the show. I think its pretty innovative in how it tells a coming of age type story. The show depicts these four 20 something year old privelaged white girls for what they are in reality: while sweet, funny, and at times intelligent....blissfully ignorant adolescents who really don't know shite about making it on their own in the real world. In their struggle to grow up, they make a few mistakes and I think it makes for a pretty refreshing show.

The most recent episode had a pretty epic argument between Jessa and her husband. Everything the guy said was so funny because it was true. "...And you're a whore with no work ethic."

Haven't read any of this thread past the OP but this show is damn good. Well-written, acted and the humor is witty, awkward and downright entertaining.

Unless you're over 40. If so GFY.

I love it.

I think it's hysterical.

And I don't think you are supposed to like or root for Hannah. It's a lot like Louis CK on Louie.

so after hearing everybody rave about this show

Who raves about the show??? Especially here on TD???

I feel like every discussion on here about Girls has been that is nothing to brag about and at the very most, is watchable.

If the New York Times got to create a human being from scratch, it would be Lena Dunham.

Intelligence not put to use, privileged upbringing combined with unbridled liberalism, faux complexity allowing critics to justify their worthless, unproductive existence...
