    Girls continues to operate in a very limited range, both benefiting from, and in some ways handcuffed by, its generational specificity.

    A fourth season that, while competent, also feels somewhat beside the point.... This season the characters are making a concerted effort to change, but the show itself: not so much.

    For the most part, Girls is still wickedly written and, for some viewers, the best hate-watch around. Yet it too easily runs on fumes from a hipster era (circa 2012) that is already ossifying.

    With talents like Dunham (who created the show, writes, directs and stars) and executive producer Judd Apatow behind the scenes, you’d expect at least more chuckles than you get from this sad return.

Will be interesting to see where this season takes us. I still enjoy the show, but find it to be slightly diminishing each season just a bit. Hoping it delivers stronger by the end of this season.… Full Review »

There have truly been just a few bad episodes of Girls (the rom-com-y beginnings of season three). Dunham knows exactly what she's doing and she's good at it.… Full Review »
