is showing us someone eating with open mouth and letting us to hear noise of suction the HBO definition for indie comedy? pls.
one great season ensued by irreplessible decline. So boring!
The uninteresting third season drove me away completely. Using the tried and true formula over and over again truly makes me remember that people like this exist. For the same reasons I'm not much of a fan of the Sopranos, Girls warrants a departure from viewing from here on out.
The first two seasons were decent, but with repetition and stupidity of characters pressing into the middle of the third season, I can't help but call it quits. If the writing gets better and more engaging, let me know- because these 'real people' aren't anything I'd ever want to associate with.
Cmon, she's just chubby, it's a simple observation and there's nothing wrong with being chubby.
I like how this show makes me hate a character one week, but the next week I'll just love that same character. There's only been one character that I never disliked and it's Ray, he's great!
Lisa Dunham is not chubby at all.. Her BMI is probably around 25 or lower. You people are just too used to society's standards of "fat" or "beautiful".
Regardless of that, I'm finding the first season very enjoyable, but I would've hated to be her friend..
@kakature: Haha true, but especially Hannah and Marnie. Just overall terrible people =P
@b0sse I feel like all characters on this show have that personality trait :p
Man, Hannah is so fukin disgusting, her personality is just awful. Self-absorbed narcissistic bitch.
Doing a rewatch of this show, just BECAUSE.
I don't really get why it is always about how Lena Dunham looks. Who cares if you think that she's ugly? You probably are as well. If not from the outside, at least you're dirty as fuck on the inside.

I am not a fan of the 'toothpick principle'. But she is chubby however. Which is still more a remark on her appearance than it being really sexist.
Now ask me, do I find her butt-ugly?
Yes.
But you can't simply judge by the fact that I call her a chubby and say I can't look past that. There are more then enough movie and/or serie characters who really crack me up eventough they are 'butt-ugly'.
However, even they, are still butt-ugly.
non-skinny girls can be attractive, but Lena Dunham is just fugly.
@WGenee The sexist remark is describing her as "a chubby."
1. Who cares about her weight.
2. Who cares about her weight.
3. Who cares about her weight.
No, of course you don't have to like her, I do understand that she is clearly not for everybody. My problem is that Lena Dunham, like all of us, is more than just her physical appearance and I'm tired of everyone needing to be a toothpick as the minimum criteria for being fucking awesome (or just good) at their jobs in Hollywood. That is all.
@az25
First of all, please do not recommend 2 Broke Girls to me, for it is an awful show (as you can read in my comment I left there).
Furthermore, making a difference between Allison and Lena is not sexist actually, that would be preferring one sex over the other.
However in my opinion, Lena is annoying. Should I like every actor and every acting performance equally then? And am I only allowed to have critique on the more attractive actresses?
I just don't like her character, her timing, her jokes etc.

@WGenee dog? ok...
if Allison Williams was Lena Dunham, all the same lines and all, would you have the same issue? I doubt it. Besides, Marnie is way more annoying. The way she was fussing over wanting Charlie after breaking up with him? The fact that everything revolves around her, even when talking about other people's problems? But, whatever. If Lena annoys you, you're probably better off watching 2 Broke Girls or something.
@az25, well well well az25 you dog.
Donald Glover is like, totally perfect for this show.
@WGenee Whether she is annoying or not, that's sexist as hell.
