The number of people who complain about how terrible the characters on Girls are yet have never voiced the same complaint about the characters of Breaking Bad is remarkable.

walter white had a lot of characterization during that show. go watch episode one and the first half of the last season and tell me that there is no difference. jesse was hystrionic at times, but had ebbs and flows. skylar, too.

hank, flynn, marie, and some others (HUELLLL) didn't really do much...but don't claim there was no characterization in BB

plus, when Girls ran out of material last year and they basically just made Hannah completely psychotic overnight, they jumped the shark. this was like the 18th episode of the series, and they were already jumping the shark. that's what you call amazing writing

Never did.

Here are some comments from this thread

quote:
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.
