Girls

Yeah, I know I'm behind with series 2 done and dusted but to my defence, I started this series before series 2 began... Anyway, as with everything on the site, it got lost along the way, this time at 3/4 finished stage and it's taken 3 months to finish off. Ah well...

I took a long while to get into Girls, at least 4 episodes, but series 1 of Girls definitely got better the longer it went. Obviously this generation's Sex and the City (a show I completely abhorred) with an even darker edge and some fairly dubious humour (that rape joke early on was pretty awful) and a near unlikeable lead character in Hannah played by creator Lena Dunham. Somehow it works, just, but definitely interested me enough to want to see series 2.

Not really in the mood to say much, but I will say that even though Lena Dunham is a divisive figure, she sure has created something that is very different to most of the stuff that is out there. Where series 1 had a feel of an updated Sex And The City, series 2 has veered so far away from that to the point where it's one the darkest things I've seen on TV.

Yet, I still don't love Girls, it frustrates the hell out of me at times and the second half of the season is depressing as hell. That's not necessarily a bad thing because I'd much rather watch a show that makes me feel something than a show I have no interest in at all, which a fair bit of what I cap ends up being...

And finally, Lena Dunham still has no problem with getting naked, sometimes to the point where you wonder if someone should step in and question this. Not saying I have a problem with it, I don't as you see below, just, oh, I've lost my train of thought...

OK, where was I... anyway, series 2 of Girls turns into this depressing show pretty much during the episode where Hannah meets a doctor (played by Patrick Wilson) and has a mini-affair with him and that's basically the episode and it's the best episode of the series by far, but from then on Hannah turns into a complete mess and it's hard to watch, whether it's the lunacy of her obsessive-compulsive behaviour or that ridiculous cotton swab incident (did love the doctor's reaction to her behaviour). It really is hard to warm to Hannah.

Another thing is the bizarre lengths Allison Williams goes to cover up, which is heading into Julia Roberts-level of paranoia. At least Allison hints at nudity, but it's entirely awkward and while it actually suits her character's princess-like tendencies, it's distracting to watch.

Also, that scene, yes that scene featuring Shiri Appleby is something else.

That time again where I catch up on the Blurays of Girls. Kinda liked this season, better than the last season anyway. Far more lighter than the dark depths of the later episodes of last season, but not without some downer moments, mostly from Adam's sister played by Gaby Hoffmann who was a barrel of laughs. Hannah, who was a mess at the end of series 2 is bright and bubbly and things are looking up, well sort of, she's still cluelessly selfish as ever, the funeral of her publisher was horrible to watch. Her and Adam have at least developed as a couple, but that ends badly in the final episode. Marnie's still Marnie, Jessa still a whole lot of nothing although her plot does involve bringing in Richard E. Grant playing a maniac drunk and a great dinner scene with them and his daughter played by a near unrecognisable Felicity Jones. Shoshana becomes a grump, but a pretty funny grump especially when she starts bagging out everyone or attacking Marnie in the final episode.

As with every season, there also a large array of deleted scenes, seemingly more this series, at least 30+ with a couple of extra nude scenes from Lena Dunham (see below), which is pretty requisite now, but they cut out an entire plotline where Marnie becomes a spin cycle instructor which now seems baffling. Plus more talk about that embarrassing YouTube video of her singing that Edie Brickell song, never a bad thing.

Being sitting on this series for a while, mainly because I was hoping to get the Bluray of the series, but I was not able to (also I really couldn't be bothered...). The Blurays of the series always have deleted scenes and there's always extra stuff to cap. Ah well...

Last of the videos from the final 5 episodes of the series plus collages from the series. Can't get my hands on the Blurays, so the usual extra deleted scenes aren't available. There's usually some extra Lena Dunham nudity because why not?

I'm pretty much done with Girls, Lena Dunham's character is so obnoxious it's unbearable to watch, not that she wasn't always sort of obnoxious, but now it's every fucking minute and I'm begging for an episode that focuses on one of the other characters. Even the Basic Instinct rip-off scene was unbearable. All I'm thinking is surely someone tells Lena that this is stupid, it makes the character look unrealistic and just plain ugly. I think the sixth series is the final series. If it continues the way series 5 went, then good riddance.

So that's it, the last of the Girls updates, thankfully... I liked the final series significantly more than series 5, well, except for the first episode which was at series 5 obnoxiousness. That episode with the sleazy writer was pretty annoying too. But Hannah having to face reality was a lot easier to watch. And the men of the show got more of a go the longer the series went and the male characters were what gave the show levity against obnoxious moments.

I still don't know why I started watching the show and then continuing on until the end. Madness...
