Banged through this a week or so ago (I see that last week it was nominated for five emmys, all for Dunham). I actually liked it even though it seemed to weave back and forth indiscriminately between legit, believable, astute observations on women's behavior and totally implausible, deliberately off-the-wall behavior. Specifically, I liked that the Dunham character wasn't written to be likable, although I still have a hard time resolving that she and Marnie are believable BFFs given the rather large gap in their levels of attractiveness.
Regarding these two, one thing I tried to look up but didn't have any success with - she owned Marnie a bunch of back rent, and then Marnie moved out on her. How exactly does that work itself out without Marnie getting hosed on the lease? They never really explained (that I recall) how she could just bail on the living arrangement. Not a big deal but it confused me at first.
It's very likely I'm missing something obvious and/or unimportant.
oh how awesome this statement is about a show called girls
Possibly not a coincidence that a forum full of guys connects with the male characters more than the girls....?? Although I do agree that Adam killed it and I'll be disappointed if he's not a part of season 2.
Didn't realize the second season debuted tonight til I saw that preview, thanks. Unsurprisingly the Williams daughter looks hotter. Too bad she won't do n00dz.
Didn't see the post directly above when I made mine, heh.
I think the novelty is wearing off though. Novelty is too strong of a word, but there are aspects of the show that are going to grate on me. I'm expecting for that to be flipped by the end of the season though.
Ms. Williams won't wear off on me at all. She looked incredible throughout this one.
