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. so there's a lot of defensiveness around it. most non-millenials i've spoken to who dislike it are more blase 'it was boring' about it. millenials feel repulsed tho, which is kinda understandable.

i know a couple of woman who find the show depressing, which translates for them as a kind of hate, but have only watched a bit of ep 1. they'll come around...

yeah women i'm talking about are millenials. either hits a bit close to home or they're like 'fuck these girls, i'm not them'

so i guess that makes me happy re: this show to be lower-end-gen-x and a sometimes tragically observational writer type

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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