"Girls" running thread

[Buck]

It was alright.

 

[Azrael]

Interesting diversity of opinion.

 

[Editude]

Colleague at work said she was fired up to watch it, so I did. Maybe it's the demo, but ... A few good lines, but lots of mumbling and randomness. Her parents were interesting. We'll see.

 

[TigerVols]

I will give HBO credit.

It's not every day you see a writer/producer/director portraying a naked 11-year-old girl getting raped by a slacker with incest issues.

::)

I thought "Tiny Furniture" dragged on, and this looks like a continuation of that film.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

A friend of mine who has decent taste in TV told me it was the worst show she's ever seen....

Granted, I don't think she had any idea what to expect going in...

I haven't seen it, but I haven't heard too many positives...

I watched the pilot and found it lacking, so I didn't watch the second episode. I guess I'm just too old to relate to early 20s neuroses anymore, let alone semi-privileged female early 20s neuroses.

 

[Alma]

Mumblecore. Ya'd better like it.

OK, now I'm off Alma's sign-on and back on my own

Two laughs, which is two more than in the pilot.

I see what they're trying to do.

But they're failing miserably.

 

[rico_the_redneck]

Has potential.

Frankly, I'm gobsmacked that HBO would give a 20-something female who looks like, well, um, about 80 percent of most 20-something females...the keys to her own show, to write, star in, and even direct.

Good to see Peter Scolari finding some post-Bosom Buddies "Newhart" work.

This. Got better from the pilot to Ep. 2. I'll keep watching.

 

[JackReacher]

The lead chick reminds me of the female version of the kid from Arrested Development.

 

[Zeke12]

OK, the third episode was better, still. Somewhat explaining why the show has gotten such great reviews. I am pretty sure the critics got the first four episodes at one shot.

I think I'll stick with it through the rest of the season, since it's only a half hour.

 

[Wenders]

The third episode was twice as funny as the other two put together. If it was on the same level as the first two episodes, I was going to take it out of my DVR rotation.

Loved the inclusion of Andrew Rannells, Hannah's ex, towards the end. He was one of the leads in The Book of Mormon on Broadway last year.
