I just watched the first 4 eps and now I feel bad that Adam is really the only character that doesn't annoy the hell out of me in some way.

But not really. They're all just so far gone and obnoxious to varying degrees but I find him (and Ray) the least obnoxious and easiest to identify with. That said, I can't stop watching.

u watching the new seaz or just staring the series now?

No, I've seen whole thing up until now I just hadn't watched any of this season until today.

did anyone watch this? i didn't like the scenes with marnie and ray. their interactions seem to have been better written in the past.

{spoiler alert}
What happened to Adam's sister?!
How do you end the previous episode on a cliffhanger of her getting kicked out and Adam racing out to look for her in a panic, and the follow-up episode makes no mention of her and everything is hunky-dory in the place?
This is truly the surrealist-absurdist/thumbing-nose-at-notions-of-continuity "Louie Season 3" of Girls.

This season started off quite poorly, but this episode was great.

I always just assumed it was Neutraface
Oh! Here is more insight about why it is not Neutraface:

― eric banana (s.clover), Sunday, 16 February 2014 21:42 (ten years ago) link
I don't know, maybe it's very subjective. I work with people just a little younger than this age now and watching the show kinda makes me feel creepy like I'm eavesdropping on a part in a dorm or something. I'm sure I have old-guy stuff I should rather be doing. But the recent episodes I've seen have just been airless and bad. I feel life passing me by as I watch it.

I also no longer think Lena Dunham is smart or fun. Well, I definitely don't think she's fun and if she's smart, she's not being generous with that gift at present.
― Kornblud (admrl), Sunday, 16 February 2014 21:56 (ten years ago) link
i would be happy to outsource some of the blame for what this show is like now to a kind of Apatowization, & a misread of its original value, but yeah it is frustrating to see it vaguely resemble & then operate totally differently from the impulses that made it so smart. that there's a season-three rearrangement of existing characters into a new couple just seems like the basest most clasically moorless move.
― mustread guy (schlump), Sunday, 16 February 2014 22:14 (ten years ago) link
last episode i thought the sympathetic music when hannah had the "oh no i might stop writing" realization was jarring. like we were being asked to genuinely relate to that sort of anxiety, instead of looking askance at it.
― eric banana (s.clover), Sunday, 16 February 2014 22:48 (ten years ago) link
i kinda stopped taking this show seriously until i get to the next ep that dunham wrote solo. is that happening?
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Monday, 17 February 2014 00:15 (ten years ago) link
Whoa, I really liked tonight's episode. I mean, it wasn't subtle at all in how it basically addressed the complaints people have about every character (interestingly, Jessa got the least of the crossfire) but I think the show's been building up to something like this for awhile now and it's something the show needs.
Also, is Danny Strong gay???
― Murgatroid, Monday, 17 February 2014 05:46 (ten years ago) link
I kind of lost my steam on this show after the first few this season. I have also had the thoughts stated above that (1) the show might be drifting as it becomes "apatowized" or (2) all those times where I wasn't sure exactly how smart and self-aware dunham was really being might be resolved in favor of less smart and less self-aware
― Burt Stuntin (Hurting 2), Monday, 17 February 2014 06:10 (ten years ago) link
I don't know if tonight's episode indicated self-awareness or just an ability to read comment sections.

Audibly cheered at some of Shoshanna's lines this week.

it was funny, enjoyed seeing everyone call each other on their shit, and loved Hannah relentlessly hanging out in her swimmers all ep
― (D1CK$) (sic), Monday, 17 February 2014 11:42 (ten years ago) link
kind of a disconcerting "Friends"-like sitcommy vibe to this episode. not necessarily a bad thing but everyone drunkenly calling each other out feels a little rote at this point.
― ryan, Tuesday, 18 February 2014 00:51 (ten years ago) link
1. There was a whole Friends-related motif in this week's (excellent) episode of Looking.
2. DS is also playing a psychotic, abusive prison guard in a women's prison on the current season of Justified, if you're inclined to read into casting.
― Simon H., Tuesday, 18 February 2014 00:56 (ten years ago) link
Okay, so a bit of wishful thinking on my part (he's kinda cute imo) but it's less of a stretch for him to actually be gay because of a role on Girls than for him to be psychotic and abusive in real life because of a role on Justified.
But yes, it's probably mostly wishful thinking.

xp, actually I take back what I said, I finally watched ep 4 thru 6 and mostly really enjoyed them. Although I agree that the Ray and Marnie thing was fucking stoopid.

I think I enjoy this show more when I stop expecting any kind of radical critique out of it. There's an Apatovian conservatism at the heart of the show.
― Burt Stuntin (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 18 February 2014 04:13 (ten years ago) link

― eric banana (s.clover), Tuesday, 18 February 2014 04:35 (ten years ago) link
I don't know if it's because I had just woken up when I watched it & was still kinda groggy, but good god was the pacing of this ep relentless or what?! I'm not sure I would be as charitable as Dunham, who described it as "wall-to-wall fun scenes" in her weird post-credits behind-the-scenes interview...
OTOH, it definitely captured some of the stifling feeling of a stay at the beach, so kudos
