Zoom Discussions about Girls via twitter. Apparently there has been some criticism, as there should be, it means people are watching it.  Personally, I have the cheers the writing. It captures the uncomfortable awkwardness that comes with being an “off kilter” girl in a big city, the true pain of relationships sexual or otherwise, your parents making you leave the nest(of money), finding a job, and that girl that always tells you that “you are such a Carrie.” Maybe it’s because I have heard and witnessed first hand accounts of the scenarios that Girls has portrayed. Maybe it’s because I feel bad for Hannah’s character. I liked the show, and am looking forward to what other gems it has to share. Maybe it’s because life as a young female writer in your twenties is filled with failed attempts at witty banter and yelling at your friend not to text that asshat that is just using her.

  3. lazymercenary said: the nepotism criticism doesn’t wash because: Jeff & Beau Bridges, Angelica Huston, Nic Gage, Jason Schwartzman, Drew Barrymore, Jason Reitman, Warren Beatty, etc. etc. hollywoodnepotism.net/p…

    “my life is uncomfortable sexual encounters and my parents telling me they can’t support me financially” Truth.
  5. alexseder said: I have no connection with the show whatsoever, but I still think it’s good, so far.
  6. tumblingtowards said: I completely agree…I also loved how “real” it was: real bodies, guys and gals who look like people I know, maybe, but not supermodels. The scene where she is trying to get her tights off in his apartment made it for me.

    This post makes me want to watch it
  8. brizur said: I think the reference to Nepotism has to do with the fact that all the actresses are daughters of some famous people involved in media, not the circumstances of their characters.

A website dedicated to the things that inspire a young woman with a good head on her shoulders, an overactive imagination and a constant question on her mind: what kind of woman is she?
