The thing about Girls is that you shouldn't come to it expecting to laugh out loud. It's raunchy, there's awkward nudity, and some pseudo-funny moments, but most of all there's a strong realism in the scripting, acting and directing that almost makes it feel like a reality show. Basically, it's not comedy, it's not drama, it's not bad, it's not good. It's just mediocre reality. And that is why I stopped watching at the end of season 1.

One of the most overrated shows I have ever watched. There is so much problematic stuff going on and I literally hate every character, but rapey (and yet glorified) Adam was the worst. He made me finally stop watching. Total waste of time.

I've watched every at least half a dozen times. This is by far one of my favorite shows ever made. Absolutely hilarious while delving into serious life events and situations. It's just total genius!!!

Girls just got stronger as the series went on. Lena Dunham who created, wrote, directed and starred is extremely talented. Pretty sure I'm not the target demographic (37 year old Australian male. We are fairly niche), but the writing and honesty in Dunham's performance is really something. The 10 episodes of season 1 felt very organic, they all fit together very well. By the end it feels quite tidy, but open for a second season. They make a nice nod to SatC in the first episode, but dismiss it. On paper comparisons on premise could be made, but it clearly isn't and they tell you up front. I found the character of Adam fascinating with an amazing performance.
