A Conversation with Judd and Lena |
The true genius of the show is that Dunham is willing to make a television comedy that doesn’t, like so many other TV programs, beg you to love its protagonists. Some critics have turned off to “Girls” because the characters are unlikable. They have missed the point. There’s a key line at the end of the second episode in which an older character says, “You couldn’t pay me to be 24 again.” There’s no idolization here. Just identification with a time when young people think they’re still the center of the universe even when they’re clearly not. You end up liking Hannah, Marnie, Jessa, and Shoshanna not because the writing asks you too but because they feel real. That’s daring television. |

The tag “girls” isnt very helpful when looking for things about the show so you can tag your “Girls” posts with “girls night” and/or “girls hbo” We will LOVE to see what you guys say!! -marniemichaels |
