Girls S2
10x30 mins
2013 HBO
Hannah's relapsed OCD emerges after she's got an urgent deadline for her novel. The girls have blossoming and crumbling relationships. What they've been looking for all this time may have been in plain sight, all this time.
Lena Dunham is a woman who knows women- their pain, joys, and unbeknown volatility (sorry; I mean, it happens sometimes). Her performance as Hannah is quintessential in this age of a growing respect for feminism (to whatever extent). Love your body as Dunham, among several cast members, bare al(most) all.
Marnie tries to believe that having your shit together is too good a deal and sets out to release her free-spirit, while having fiery loins with Charlie, who's rekindling his feelings. This show got me tearing up, laughing along, and strangely 'connecting' with the characters. Even if I'm spurting bullshit, just know that sympathy is not the price for the series.
I had a few [shallow] problems while watching GIRLS Season Two:
Shoshanna is pulling off a sorority girl persona, with a "33-year-old loser" at her side and Hannah has a volatile personality under that warm smile. I don't know how Adam handles her (it's revealed how well he handles her, yeah?) For now, I'm just trying to breathe through all of this busyness.| SWEATPANTS: Girls S2 | |
