This is what makes us girls?



Greetings earthlings, 

It's time to talk about girls. Not the humans, the tv show. The hugely popular Emmy winning tv show.  The hugely popular Bafta winning tv show. The hugely popular tv show that I had to turn off twenty minutes into the first episode.

Maybe I didn't give it a fair shot but nonetheless I'm going to proceed to excessively judge the show and it's cast based on those twenty minutes.

I won't delve too far into this one, but I have to put it out there. I don't like Lena Dunhman. I don't know her, but from what I've seen she seems pretty arrogant. That's all I'll say on the matter or I'll be here all night.

With regards the show itself I just felt it was trying too hard. The scenes between Lena's character and her boyfriend frankly just made me feel uncomfortable. I understand that the show is trying to go against the stereotypical series that involves beautiful casts and unrealistic story lines, but that's what I like. Shallow and all as it may sound, I like watching a world that's different to mine. Watching something different to your own life gives you a break from yours. Sure it's completely unrealistic and they usually consist of botoxed models in their twenties portraying teenagers, but that's what makes it, for me anyway. I get that Girls perhaps sends out a better image to young girls with regards body image etc and that's important but I'd still rather watch  the shallow nonsense that makes me feel like I've escaped my own reality, not something that reminds me of the struggles of being a hopeless youth strapped for cash.

Despite my views, the show is a mega success and I can't deny that. Maybe I'm seeing sense and the rest of the world has gone crazy. Of maybe in the run up to the end of my teenage years I've turned into a cranky syndic. Either way, I still turned off the tv after twenty minutes, and I guess I thought you should know.

Stay classy,

L xx
