Either the Criterionforum has warmed (slightly) to her, or they just hate Stanley Kramer more, because it took a whole half day before anybody seized on her part of the newsletter.

As are many real-life twinks in NY!
So I've seen the first 5 episodes of the first season, and I'm in the middle. Some very funny dialogue, but sometimes the characters are too stupid for a quasi-'realistic' comedy, as when Hannah torpedoes her job interview with a date-rape joke. Must be that EDGY millennial humor the VICE alum is around to supply.
Also phrases like "hate-read," stfu. And I would give Adam Driver a tongue bath.

but by the conventions of a sitcom having characters do somewhat outlandish things like in the job interview scene is not really that unusual.

I never understood what that means. Seinfeld was a show about the banalities of single adult life in New York City. Kind of like Living Single with white people.

"show about nothing" is just one of those meaningless things that people mindlessly repeat because they think it sounds good
― undescended listicle (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 23 July 2013 19:37 (ten years ago) link
The show about nothing made no sense to me either. How is it more about nothing than any other sitcom out there? I guess it was the original concept that didn't last but as you said it sounds good as a catchy tagline.
