    Hard as it is to rate a season from its very first episode, it seems like "Girls" is taking on a funner direction, but the whole thing still feels like Lena Dunham's personal glorification.

It is somewhat eerie that a show with such realistic characters (note: there are no hot, leggy blondes in the protagonists' roles for once, men are voluntarily ugly and New York City feels like a sort of backyard) does not instill a sense of comfort. What it does, instead, is give us some grotty dialogue involving semen of both sexes and pretend that's the way we would actually talk. The show is false, and perceptibly so. Lena Dunham's acting is okay, but definitely surpassed by any other of the actors.

    I hold "Girls" in serious consideration: in the future, we may look at it as an early, pioneering attempt to a new kind of tv-shows, where they'll want to show us how the world is, and not how it should be. But as for now, and as for all things pioneering, it is a draft, an idea. A good one, maybe.    … Expand

    Eventually one starts to think about what one is doing with one’s life and how one actually wishes to spend it rather than tripping from one youthful, unconsidered mishap into another.... I can say that Dunham and her co-creators understand that progression.

    The show is becoming more complex along with its characters, and as a result, the viewer feels a greater investment.

    Going into its third season, Girls is as refreshing and audacious as ever and one of the few half-hour dramedies where you can feel its heart pounding and see its belly ripple with laughter.
