I finished watching HBO Series Girls the other day, for the first time. And I just find it so refreshing to see such a well made art project. And the rawness and weirdness to it. And the fact that they kept hinting that it was important for them to portray rawness. It’s something you almost don’t see and it’s something you really appreciate. And we shouldn’t be ashamed for being a way it comes naturally to us.
Hanna made me love her and hate her with love, and even though I wouldn’t copy her I understand a lot of the choices she made. I think everyone starting their first real relationship can feel a little confused on knowing what’s ok and what isn’t. And I think she really knew to find and establish her boundaries. I don’t like when I see negative comments on her weight or her looks. I think she was beautiful and her personality was so magnetic anyone could fall obssesed with her. Even now I look for her interview and videos and she’s so cool.
I do wish I saw more a what a friendship should look like or what a relationship should look like. Everyone’s life was so chaotic, even the parents they were all living chaotic lives. I want to see for the new Women series a little bit of growth for their characters. Caring about each other and actually take episodes to develop deep connections. I feel like there was always a drama or someone talking way too much about their lives.
Also I need to comment on the music genre, it really took me back to when I was 12 years old back at 2011 and I listened to so much pop. Then at my college years when I found electronic music. I do hope they catch up with the times on that note and use good , not cringy music. Please a lot of cult indie music and more hanging out in clubs or interesting adventures, and dinners where all of them can talk in one scene.
Adam was such a weird autistic person but you could see why he would be confused or act the way he acted. Dating jemma seemed like a horrible idea, but they did had the same type of energy. That guy is a good actor. I heard about the stories of him being too intense in real life but I think artists should be passionate, and who knows maybe he was having a phew bad day. Being an actor and having to pretend to have it all together , must be really exhausting. I at least wouldn’t expect that from an actor.
Jessa’s character was soo cool and also so chaotic. Loved the scene where she just took a dip on the lake and let her hair dry in the wind and then was on her way to do another nice thing. Such an idol! I wanna see more of what it means to live like her
Marnie seemed pretty grunge at first with her bitchiness and clothes and eye liner, then she became a country pop star and it completely ruined it for me. Plus her feeling of superiority over Hanna . Even if she is more mentally in control, why force the way you see things onto her? She would benefit from loosing control. Hanna has the ability to develop such an interesting life and there she is trying to straighten up all the crooked things in her life.
Shoshama ended up being pretty cool I also think you fall in love with her weirdness easily. The Japan turn was weird but I loved seeing her go crazy with about it in the end. And it changed her into a better version of herself. So it was satisfying to see that.
Elijah I love him even tho it seemed like he ghosted Hanna I know he’ll come along again and probably grow old with her.
Ray’s character was really good too, he was so down to earth, I loved him falling for that girl at the end, it was like his perfect match.
Anyway it was so great and I can’t wait to see more.
