i think bc of a few factors (the kind of coverage it has gotten, its zeitgeistiness, her 'voice of generation' comment, etc) ppl have felt implicated by the depiction of characters in the show. ...millenials feel repulsed tho, which is kinda understandable.

oh, that makes sense. lol, i'm old, so it never even occurred to me that people might relate to it in that way. i just get to laugh at other people's problems.

Even with all that I find it difficult to understand strong feelings about this show one way or the other. It's just a group of post-college young people in New York who say funny things but otherwise don't do much of anything. What's there to feel strongly about?

I always envisioned 20 somethings living in NYC as being a lot better looking and more hip than these squares.

This show reminds me of Degrassi in so many ways.

i am usually pretty susceptible to I HATE THIS BECAUSE [EXTERNALITIES] kinds of feelings, so i've been making an effort to not do that w/ this, and it seems to be working because i've happily watched every episode and recommended it to people. i laugh more at it than i laugh at most shows.

Oh, I am too with certain things and the two I mentioned DEFINITELY are. That's why they came back and sheepishly apologized. It got kind of heated last weekend because I was totally incredulous at their level of hate and dismissal after TEN MINUTES especially coming from a pair with some pretty fucking questionable taste in television.

I can see people hating something that seems to hit close to home, but sometimes it's even easier to hate something that comes close to hitting that mark, but fails on some account. I think in my past I've been very guilty of the latter.

I wish more art "hit close to home," tbh.

"class of 06"

I will continue watching this show only if they promise to never say that out loud again.

This Adam guy, I like him. No idea why. Pharmacy guy looked like the pale weird guy from Twilight. Lovely episode!

oh and loooooooool at the benefit. Pretty Girl Rock performance was A+

Adam seems much less hateful now.

Kiarostami bag (milo z), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 05:34 (11 months ago) Permalink

yeah I'm not sure how bc he's still pretty much the same as when we met him. maybe that's why? like, he just "is".

the tao of adam or some bullshit

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 06:08 (11 months ago) Permalink

We see more of Dunham liking him? Being into the seemingly creepo shit he was pulling during sex?

Kiarostami bag (milo z), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 06:41 (11 months ago) Permalink

true. lol @ her sticker finger up pharmacy boy's butt

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 06:44 (11 months ago) Permalink

By this point if Adam ever puts a shirt on or leaves his apartment it'll seem really weird.

feel like any time ive tried to pursue quirky seemingly-mismatched relationships where im also somewhat curious about what a person's deal is, my initial instincts were right & we were in fact mismatched

not saying this doesn't work in this show, but that it contrasts w/ my experiences or something

omg scolari peen!

We just saw a different side of Adam, I think. The one that clues us into why she likes him.

those of you pitching a bitch about how horrible and evil the mom was for wanting to not bankroll hannah's ongoing peter pan syndrome might want to take a step back
