I really enjoyed it, I was afraid reading all the "sex and the city for the new generation" articles, but I still liked it despite being a female centric show.

Really like Lena Dunham, as an actress and writer.

 

[DreamBeaut]

I'm intrigued after first watching, will definitely give it a shot.

 

[NeilYoung]

not bad, Going to keep watching, not a lot else on these days anyways

 

[Stringer Bell]

Is there a lot of sex and nudity? "HBO" and "girls" jumped out at me.

 

[vecens24]

Watched it last night, really good. Really strong emotional center to the show with Hannah. I think this one has some strong legs and will be continually successful.

The awkward kind.

It did not wow me but I'll give it another shot.

 

[Philly85*]

recorded it, gonna watch it later. getting some good buzz.

 

[The Joker*]

Watched it.

Meh.

 

[Philly85*]

Just finished watching it. Thought it was good. I like shows like this even though it's not for everyone, particularly men, lol.

I thought it was decent, definitely something different. And as mentioned don't think it will be a topic with friends of mine

Good thing GOT is before

Oh and the friend is pretty hot.

Just finished watching it and as a comedy, I didn't laugh once, but I was invested in the characters. I'm willing to give it a few more episodes to see where it goes.

 

[Kurtz]

I liked it. Was fairly witty, had a few funny lines, and was overall quite interesting. Anything Apatow touches seems to turn out at the very least watch-able.

With the exception of Brian William's daughter, I didn't find much about the show interesting. I'll give it another shot since it's HBO, but there's something irritating about the creature known as the "woe is me hipster." And this show is chock full of them.

Oh, and how about Hannah's memoirs, which appeared to be about four pages? Get a job.

lol this. I love Apatow but this show's pilot really sucked. Seemed like a bunch of hipster over privileged pieces of **** feeling sorry for themselves. I have no idea how they're even going to make more episodes of this show. Can't see it making it that long as a series. William's daughter is beautiful though.

Not that I'm comparing this to Seinfeld. But isn't this what most comedy's do since Seinfeld? Just funny occurrences/situations that happen to people in everyday life? And since this is pretty much a "unique angle" they could play with some different storylines....

I think that was the point.

 

[GOB Bluth]

I think that was the point.

Of course it is but for something that's supposed to be a comedy satire it just comes off as a documentary of people I know in real life without any laughs. Maybe it just hits too close to home to me without being funny. Who knows?

 

[Rhett4]

Well, I detested the pilot (mainly because of the characters) but decided to give episode 2 a try. After all, it's HBO and it received good reviews. I'm glad that I did because I enjoyed tonight's episode much more. Granted, I'm not totally sold yet, but I didn't find the main character and her cohorts quite as obnoxious. I actually laughed a couple times, too. Of course, it's still a show geared toward women. Period jokes aren't quite up my alley.

 

[Bruins4Lifer]

Haven't seen the 2nd episode yet but I was pretty disappointed with the pilot after all the critics hyped this show up so much.

 

[MJG]

Okay, so, episode two was much less obnoxious and much less melodramatic and thus much better. It still isn't really funny. It's good and I enjoyed it but it just isn't that funny. Like I'll smirk, but I've yet to actually laugh.

On a side note. I know the four girls are supposed to be different, they're just so different from one another that it bothers me.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

I hate every character on this show and it's not funny at all. Is it realistic? Yeah, there's a lot of idiots like these people out there. I don't care, I'm not gonna spend my time watching a show full of people that I hate interacting with in real life.

A guy named GOB Bluth, complaining about over-privileged pieces of **** feeling sorry for themselves.

My my.

 

[Protest the Hero]

Still enjoying this show even though I'm apparently not supposed to. I thought the interview was especially hilarious. Like most here I'm guessing, I don't really feel attached for anyone in this show, except Hannah, but I like Lena's writing so much that I'll continue watching.
