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

If I remember correctly it's season 2 where he becomes a somewhat sympathetic character but that all vanishes after the tail end of an episode where he...

well... it's borderline at best.

I'll just let you watch.

But I agree with others that its pretty hard to relate with or even feel empathy for the characters with the way they behave. I still have trouble deciding if I like the show or just watch b/c its a complete train wreck.

It's hard for me to put a finger on it b/c there are several shows I really enjoyed that were filled with characters who really had little redeeming value as people such as Always Sunny or Seinfeld.

This one though... It's almost as if they took everything I hate about Sookie Stackhouse and gave every character that same hateability amped to 11.
