So here we are. Episode 8. I didn’t learn the dance from last week and I am still wondering why I am watching a bunch of women being terrible to each other. I was lured in with promises of witty jokes and the unfulfilled hopes of seeing Patrick Wilson shirtless for 30 minutes again. Alas, no Patrick Wilson and few witty jokes. Read more

The opening of this episode solidified my theory that Marnie is the Lady Mary of Girls. The peonies. The sweeping shots of a Hamptons (okay it’s North Fork, not the Hamptons) estate. The Downton Abbey-esque music! Complete Lady Mary.
It just so happens that this episode coincides with a few recent articles about Marnie and “Pretty Girl Privilege,” the theory that certain women that are more conventionally beautiful than other women are not usually faced with serious issues because other people fix the problems for them. Problems like, being a terrible person or being kicked out of the New York City apartment that you share with your (now) ex-boyfriend and having to pay for a new apartment. When pretty fades, as it inevitably does, and these women are faced with real issues they completely freak out. Marnie is freaking out. Read more

Many people try to nail “Girls†as some kind of voice of Millennials — particularly, female Millennials. Sometimes it does actually seem to mirror the feelings of a generation with a sense of humor (the intern situation, Adam & Hannah-pre OCD) but this episode took the self-centered, entitled, “everybody gets a trophy†critiques of Millennials to the absolute extreme.

Oh, Ray … the realization that you’re too old for/uninterested in the party you’re attending. We’ve all been there and if we haven’t been there yet, it will happen. Sometimes this realization happens at parties where music is blasting and the TV is on mute. Sometimes it’s at a crappy bar where they stop the amazing Smashing Pumpkins “Today†for that “piece of shit†LMFAO song. I feel you, Ray. NO ONE turns off Smashing Pumpkins. Read more

Are you part of the demographic that cringes whenever there is nudity on Girls? Well you’re in luck because the nudity is minimal in both of the episodes that premiered on Sunday. Even Adam has a shirt on in most scenes. Shocking, I know.
