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…

I know, you miss getting quiche with Ja’mie Private School Girl and hanging out in the Billy Barnes Extended Care Unit with your new favorite comedy trio in Getting On. Last season’s HBO Sunday lineup had us hooked from the get-go (fingers crossed both get a…

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.

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…

Everyone—artists especially—keeps tabs on their classmates’ movements. Who works at what publication, who got a promotion, who lives at home. It’s always been a sick obsession of anyone with any hope for a career, but for the current crop of twenty-somethings, of which I am…

At some point during last week’s episode – probably when Marnie was getting scolded by Elijah – Girls found itself. It was the rare episode that had all of the characters in the same place, even if they weren’t together, and the plotlines just clicked.…

You can never go home, as the saying goes, but the rough truth of it is that sometimes, you just have to try. This week, in an episode co-written by Judd Apatow, Hannah returns to her childhood home in Michigan to join her parents in…

Of all the complaints aimed toward Girls, the one thing you’ll never hear is that it doesn’t move fast enough. The show has fallen into a fairly steady rhythm of conflict/resolution/conflict, and “Hard Being Easy” is no different. This week opens on Hannah/Marnie/Charlie immediately after…
