I’m all for rekindling the spirit of old friendships: far, far in the distant realms of the Internet world only (which is still even too much to bare sometimes). So when a super-crazed Marnie suggests that her Aunt’s place be the symposium for some Girls “healing” time (Marnie going…

“It’s like jury duty, or floods: they happen.” Last night’s episode of Girls felt rather uncomfortable. We find out Hannah’s editor was found dead, and the result of that death (that has the “literary community left scratching their heads”) spews our ladies into some self-discovery. Hannah…

As we pass a decade into the Internet’s use as a medium, we know two very contradictory yet absolutely correct facts: 1) distilling art forms into easily digestible top ten lists is reductive and useless, and 2) we absolutely cannot stop reading top ten lists.…

I love seeing how much Girls has evolved from their very first campaign and SXSW Festival premiere in 2012 to the now 3rd soon-to-air season of the HBO comedy of twenty-somethings starring none other than writer/director/producer Lena Dunham. And who doesn’t love indulging in some Girls? Looking back at the…

It’s official, everybody. Literally the last person on the planet who hadn’t written a thinkpiece about HBO’s Girls has finally shared their thoughts. I give you 19-time NBA All-Star (holy shit! Seriously?) and official United States cultural ambassador Kareem Abdul Jabbar’s take on Girls. “This season…

Season 1 of Lena Dunham’s HBO comedy GIRLS left us wondering about all the stuff contemporary twenty-somethings are getting themselves into nowadays, in the midst of living in a world where boyfriends propose the idea of peeing on them in the shower—in a world when…

Sometimes it can be tempting to create a narrative where there really isn’t one. 2012 wasn’t the best year for TV of all time, nor was it the worst. Some shows had their best seasons ever (Archer, The Walking Dead), some shows had their worst…

Full disclosure: I didn’t watch the Emmys. Well, that’s not entirely true. I watched the first third before I had to head into work. As a serious journalist, I feel compelled to share that. It’s ok though because the only thing more fruitless than analyzing…

Despite all my insistent, whiny and yes, accurate declarations that television consistently outshines movies, the Emmys are still somehow merely a shadow in the Oscar’s saturated hype machine. Giving more awards to “Flash Forward” than “The Wire” will do that. Still the nominees have been…

No matter how weird our friends might be and no matter how dumb the decisions they make are, through it all we have to love them for it. And that’s exactly the case in a very unexpected season 1 finale of Girls. All of the…
