Should You Watch HBO’s Girls?

If you were ever on the “internets” during the first season of HBO’s Girls, you’ll know it was the source of a lot of criticism, including some unjust comparisons to Sex in the City. But with abortion clinic parties, horrifying fashion choices, and the most awkward sex scenes in the history of ever, it’s truly unlike anything you’ve seen on television ever before. Girls is not meant to represent every twenty-something gal’s experience in the city. In all the excitement of a new show ready to criticize, some forgot that the purpose of this show is to be funny. And funny it is, my friends, funny it is.

Don’t believe me? Let’s just examine a few moments…

If the male readers aren’t convinced (I’ll admit, that clip was a little “ladies” focused), I’ve got good news for you. The three leading men on this show get more and more screen-time as the show goes on. An old boyfriend who turns gay, a 31-year-old “loser” who turns his life around, and Adam, a man who builds ‘things and stuff’ and drinks milk.

And if that doesn’t convince you, the sheer combination of Lena Dunham’s Tiny Furniture humor with Judd Apatow’s sensibilities (not to mention HBO’s approval of this whole shindig) should really have you convinced. This article isn’t meant to convince or convert (the show does that all on its own). This article is meant to give you a small, tiny sampling of the hilarity to come.
