I just started watching the show yesterday because I was home sick and watched every episode except for the finale. I had low expectations but I actually really LOVE the show, although I despise Hannah with a PASSION. She is fucking awful.

Love everyone else though.
chandyland11 19th-Jun-2012 06:46 pm (UTC)
Hannah's hair is always bad. Hannah's everything is always bad.
scriptedending 19th-Jun-2012 06:47 pm (UTC)
haha! i did the exact same thing yesterday except i watched all the episodes and i feel the exact same way about the show. and hannah is fucking annoying, but i can relate to her self-esteem issues/being too judgey. not good qualities, but i can relate.
xtinkerbellax 19th-Jun-2012 07:24 pm (UTC)
I did the same thing a couple of days before the finale.
dazonen 19th-Jun-2012 07:55 pm (UTC)
I don't get the Hannah hate. I guess I relate to her more than most people.
ilikeandrewbird 19th-Jun-2012 06:45 pm (UTC)
god, I love him so much. His awkwardness is perfect.

Shoshanna forever though.
blenderhead 19th-Jun-2012 06:53 pm (UTC)
Shoshanna is my fave.
spartacus 19th-Jun-2012 06:45 pm (UTC)
he seems like his character irl
dazonen 19th-Jun-2012 07:55 pm (UTC)
yeah seriously. He IS Adam irl.
scientist 19th-Jun-2012 06:46 pm (UTC)
he’s repulsive but i really loved his character by the end of the show. he did a complete 180.
lovedhurtlost 19th-Jun-2012 06:46 pm (UTC)
a kind of contemporary Mr. Big

I like him more than Big, tho.

We both went to U of I. I only went because it was a free ride. ~What's his excuse?
0sleep2dream0 19th-Jun-2012 06:56 pm (UTC)
He got a free ride too, no? It's in the article.
lovedhurtlost 19th-Jun-2012 07:03 pm (UTC)
I was being sarcastic, but if the marines paid for my schooling, I wouldn't go to U of I.
klinche 20th-Jun-2012 08:40 pm (UTC)
I know this is a day late or w/e, but one thing the article doesn't make very clear is that he transferred to and graduated from Juilliard after his freshman year at U of I.
backupblood 19th-Jun-2012 06:47 pm (UTC)
Every good thing about Adam as a character I totally credit to his performance. No one else could have someone as creepy and hypocritical as him borderline likeable.
satellite__eyes 19th-Jun-2012 06:48 pm (UTC)
I can't tell if I love him or hate him on the show. I guess that means he's doing his job? But I do know one thing - I HATE Hannah. Hatehatehate
chandyland11 19th-Jun-2012 06:52 pm (UTC)
I LOATHE HANNAH. I would rather have a fucking tea party with Bella Swan and Rick Santorum and then have angry hate sex with Rush Limbaugh on a cold kitchen floor than spend a SECOND breathing the same air as Hannah. I hate her.
satellite__eyes 19th-Jun-2012 07:37 pm (UTC)
Bahahahahahahahaa you said it!
shelostcontro1 19th-Jun-2012 08:03 pm (UTC)

lmaoo
i understand your irrational hatred for her. shes the worst.

He's so ugly.
jaimelepink 19th-Jun-2012 06:50 pm (UTC)
I feel like I'm the only one who likes Hannah and isn't upset that she's not 105lbs/6 feet tall/gorgeous. Isn't it just tiring seeing the same old crap on tv? This show and its flawed protag is refreshing imo.

I like Adam, but he can be a serious dick to Hannah. I think if she were conventionally pretty people would have more sympathy for her.
superpchan 19th-Jun-2012 06:52 pm (UTC)
I like that Hannah is (extremely) flawed. It's obvious she's meant to be annoying and not exactly endearing (at least I've never translated any of her actions to be that, sincere or selfless, etc.). She's not my favorite character on Girls, but I don't hate her. In fact, there are many elements about her that I relate to.
scriptedending 19th-Jun-2012 06:55 pm (UTC)
yeah, she is definitely relatable. it's refreshing in that you don't see characters like her on other shows very often (or ever). she is annoying as hell, but she is a good character.
elijahxwhore 19th-Jun-2012 07:00 pm (UTC)
this this this this girl is so in her own head. I feel like that end scene was probably a dream come true for her because it'd be something great to write about, which is why she wasn't hyperventilating over losing her purse.
bollyhood 19th-Jun-2012 07:02 pm (UTC)
I like her better than Marnie in that aspect. Marnie is so annoying, snobby and uptight about everything. Plus she treated that guy that shaved his hair like shit.
chandyland11 19th-Jun-2012 06:53 pm (UTC)
How could you possibly find anything about Hannah likeable? This is an honest question. I literally cannot find any logic in liking her character.
howveryasif 19th-Jun-2012 06:54 pm (UTC)
I think she's cute, and I don't hate her character at all. I don't hate any of them.
woollymammoth 19th-Jun-2012 06:57 pm (UTC)
That's not why people hate Hannah though.
sassandthecity 19th-Jun-2012 06:57 pm (UTC)
I personally like Adam more than Hannah, probably because Lena seems like a better writer than actress, but I don't know how people can think Hannah is so much more egregious than Adam.
oohasparklie 19th-Jun-2012 06:58 pm (UTC)
I agree with you 100%.
0sleep2dream0 19th-Jun-2012 07:01 pm (UTC)
I love that her appearance isn't perfect, and I do think it's rather important that they have someone like that on screen, and dare I say, quietly revolutionary?
forthe_asking 19th-Jun-2012 07:10 pm (UTC)
Hannah is whiny, self-absorbed, childish, ungrateful, and daft. Most of the time I forget that she doesn't look like a model because her personality is so obnoxious.
watchsnowfall 19th-Jun-2012 07:27 pm (UTC)
I don't think she has to look like Blake Lively, I would just like her more if there was actual character development with Hannah. There isn't. Someone yells at Hannah; Hannah whines about herself; other person storms off. Rinse, repeat next week with a new character.

She doesn't even have to ~change~ and have it work out -- she could fuck up hugely like Jessa getting married on a whim, but it'd be more interesting than her whining. Instead we get her sitting on a beach stuffing her face.
agguss 19th-Jun-2012 07:55 pm (UTC)
This show and its flawed protag is refreshing imo
Absolutely, I totally agree. She's flawed but that's what makes her and the show interesting and, like you say, refreshing. She's not my favourite character but I like watching her story.
orangemusictrip 20th-Jun-2012 09:59 am (UTC)
i don't like her but its nothing to do with her not being "hollywood" i like that about her.

She is just so self obsessed and whiny and absolutely dresses like shit and it irks me.
thats all :)
judgmental 20th-Jun-2012 06:29 pm (UTC)
It has nothing to do with her appearance, it's her god awful personality and most of us hate her probably because we know someone like her irl (I know I do)
sassandthecity 19th-Jun-2012 06:51 pm (UTC)
I think the Hannah/Adam relationship is sort of creepy since it follows that trend of telling women that just stick it out with that assholey, jerkwad of a dude and he'll magically reveal his tortured pain and somehow retroactively make him a decent person. And this is coming from somebody who prefers Adam over Hannah in the long run.

Overall, the show is good. It's just not nearly as revolutionary as critics like to pretend and, in its own way, is just as stylized/distorted as Sex and the City ever was.
0sleep2dream0 19th-Jun-2012 06:58 pm (UTC)
Ever since the Brooklyn party, I've started hating the costume changes. Like I really don't think what Jessa was wearing was realistic, and it's making it seem more like SatC.
woollymammoth 19th-Jun-2012 06:52 pm (UTC)
lol, I saw him on the L train yesterday. Also, Adam is one of my favorite characters. He's so adorable.
runtothesun 19th-Jun-2012 07:02 pm (UTC)
Jealous! Is he less goofy looking in person?
woollymammoth 19th-Jun-2012 07:11 pm (UTC)
He was wearing a backwards baseball cap and it did make him look less goofy, yes, lol.
syzygy09 19th-Jun-2012 06:52 pm (UTC)
He is an amazing actor. His character is one of the best surprises of this past TV season...across the board, not just on Girls.
howveryasif 19th-Jun-2012 06:52 pm (UTC)
yay ty for the tag!
nabuch 19th-Jun-2012 06:52 pm (UTC)
At first I thought he was a douche, but then all of sudden he turned into being my favorite male character on this show.

He would be far better without Hannah, though.
unique_lilpixie 19th-Jun-2012 06:55 pm (UTC)
Soo basically he plays himself ?

Also i wish people would stop comparing this show to SATC. They're both great shows but Girls is not the next SATC. It's its own show imo.
scriptedending 19th-Jun-2012 06:59 pm (UTC)
that's what i got when i was reading the description of his daily life. creepy.
watchsnowfall 19th-Jun-2012 07:28 pm (UTC)
I despise the SatC comparisons as well. ugh.
agguss 19th-Jun-2012 07:57 pm (UTC)
I read that as 'so basically he plays with himself' and was all wtfff, where did she get that from? lol.
