   Girls is a uniquely realistic portrayal of life for young people in today's America of permanent recession and constant electronic communication. The characters all engage in self-destructive behavior, just like young people do in reality, but the writing is humorous enough to make it entertaining.… Expand

   Girls is simply hard to love, but easy to laugh with. Lena Dunham does an amazing job with this show, which shows us the lives of twentysomethings in NYC through a shockingly truthful lens. Ignore the critics of Girls (of which I used to be one) and watch a few episodes. It's worth it.… Expand

   What I love about Girls is its creativity and freshness and how it is so different from other comedy shows on television these days. You may not laugh out loud at every scene but the writing and wonderful performances by the entire cast have the ability to move you, the ability to make you smile eventually. People complain that it is overrated, my only response to them is it doesn't get cheesy or stupid to get ratings or whatever, whereas it stays on its own level, its own ingenuity and style. Season 2 is just like the first season and maybe it will get even better in coming episodes. Lena Dunham won 2 Golden Globes for this show, come on, show some respect!… Expand

   Lena, You are indeed witty and charismatic, and the first season started off with a flurry of twist and turns exploring the beautiful and the grotesque aspects of young life here in New York. Unfortunately, I must say that this 2nd season has really made me cringe and is honestly so far from believable. Shock value no longer sells (at least as well as it used to). High on coke shirt off at Greenhouse with a bunch of glow stick kids isn't hip, fun, or even slightly cool. How did you even get past to door guy looking like a sweaty turd? Maybe you could have expanded upon that experience as there is nothing more real about New York than being denied club access because you look like crap. That would have been worth writing about... I understand this is a scathing review and I honestly hope it serves you well because bad reviews tend to full the fire. Good luck, I hope this show gets better for all of us...… Expand
