Girls

So I know I am probably alone in this but I cannot stand “Girls.” Granted I have only watched 3 or 4 episodes but I couldn’t take it anymore. I know it is getting very good reviews and it seems a lot of people love the show, but I just don’t like it. I know all about how Lena Dunham is 26 and she is actor and writer and everyone is kissing her butt for getting a show on HBO at that age.


My main problem with the show is it seems it is just a bunch of rich white girls complaining about everything. It seems they are very out of touch with reality. None of the characters were likeable and their relationships were a joke. I understand some relationships are messed up but these just did not seem natural. Maybe it was the bad acting by the four main cast members. They all seem to be like drowns going through the motions. Lena’s character was the most annoying. She seems to ramble on about nothing and then rambles some more. It’s hard to understand what she means when she speaks.

The other characters are basically the same, the act like spoiled rich girls who are very dense. Maybe it too closely resembles life for Dunham. It didn’t seem like there was anything really going on during the episodes I watched. One girl has a loser shirtless boyfriend, her roommate is in a relationship with someone who smothers but they both decide to break-up, one is a virgin, and one is a baby sitter who loses the babies. This character got pregnant, got drunk and hooked up with a guy at the bar while she was supposed to be getting an abortion.

Maybe I don’t relate to the hipster lifestyle but I just can’t find anything to relate to these characters. I am almost 30 so in the same age group as these girls. I don’t know, I wanted to give this show a chance because I heard it was a modern more realistic show not really like Sex in the City. To be it’s just a dumb show about dumb whiney rich girls.

Shame too because HBO has probably the best shows on television.
