Girls

[Rantz]

is an awesome show.

Yes it is, if excruciating to watch at times. I really enjoy it, it's very funny (especially Ray). The end of the second season was pretty downbeat in its depiction of characters repeating past mistakes, so interested to see where they go from here. Plus Jessa will be back properly next season, Jemima Kirke's pregnancy meant she had to be sidelined for a lot of the second season which was a shame.

Never seen it, but I'm told it's racist.

[Calliope]

I have seen this show get a huge amount of attention, and heaped with both praise and scorn from scores of feminist blogs. I have only watched the pilot, which was enough to make me roll my eyes and leave it at that, but I may revisit the series at a later stage, if only due to the consistent and continuous flux of polarized opinions about it.

Wait, is this that black Sex and the City show?

Or is that Girlfriends?

...to do the dishes!
...to clean up my room!
...to do the laundry!
...and in the bathroom!

I have no idea what this show's about so I just posted what I was hoping to be inside of the thread.

This show sounds horrible.

It's exempt from racism by the mere fact that Donald Glover guest starred as a republican.

Ok maybe it was sexist then. Or wealthist. One of those.

Isn't the show about a bunch of white rich girls with white rich girl problems?

Yes. But it's also about being in your 20s and not being sure of your place in the world.

That could be like almost every show in existence

[Del Murder]

Not Parks & Recreation.

[Jinx]

I dunno. To me, it just sounds like a Sex and the City knock-off.

Of course it's an HBO show, so.

[Rantz]

I didn't think it sounded very good either, but I gave it a shot before beginning to criticise it!

[charliepanayi]

It's not really like Sex and the City at all. I'd say it's got some of the The Great Gatsby about it. And the show is honest enough to call out its characters on their BS sometimes.
