[The One and Done™]

Hannah is such an unlikable character

 

[TentPole]

Love Hannah. One of my favorite TV characters ever.
Not as good as Adam though.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Hey, this is back. Cool. I mostly just watch for the guys because they all crack me up between Elijah/Ray/Kylo Ren.

I hope Marnie becomes less cringe worthy this season.

 

[CreepingFear]

Is Adam Driver going to be on this season?

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Is Adam Driver going to be on this season?

Yes.

 

[The Elite]

Hannah is such an unlikable character

Love Hannah.
Not as good as Adam though.

I agree with everything here.

 

[robotrock]

I think I might hate this show, but you know I'm in for Season 5.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Nearly all of GAF hates this show, but as somebody who liked S1 and 3, but not 2, how is the fourth season? I haven't seen it yet and want to know if it's worth investing in the show again

It's solid - about on par with season 3.

 

[hateradio]

Hannah is such an unlikable character

Love Hannah. One of my favorite TV characters ever.

I can't believe it's been five years already.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Is Adam Driver going to be on this season?

I wonder how much though. I hate to sound like such a Bro but guys really are the best part of this show.

 

[Conrad Link]

Ray for president!

 

[RatskyWatsky]

The season premiere is tonight!

Wedding Day

Spoiler

Season 5 opens with Marnie's wedding at an Upstate New York resort, where a gloomy weather forecast, an unhinged makeup artist and Desi's neuroses could conspire to make it a memorable occasion for all the wrong reasons.

 

[Dereck]

I wonder how much though. I hate to sound like such a Bro but guys really are the best part of this show.

They are, by coincidence. Or so I feel.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

The show seems different this year somehow. The characters seem slightly more mature, maybe? Anyway, I thought that was a solid premiere episode, if not a little light on the laughs.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

This snuck up on me! Wasn't completely sold on season four, but I thought they brought it together really, really well by the end of the season.

I'll watch this later today I think.

 

[Staccat0]

Man, I really like how Hannah has seemingly grown through the show.

Marnie and Jessa are still fun to hate haha

I almost expected Adam's weird blunt no bullshit attitude to surprise everyone and have him bust up the wedding.

It's solid - about on par with season 3.

Same. It has at least one or two of the best eps overrall.

 

[Matt_]

I liked this episode
Pleasantly surprised to see adam back

 

[MG310]

Desi, it's going to be okay. You're both garbage people.

 

[The Illiterati]

I had a strange experience with the episode because I didn't watch a recap and couldn't remember Desi. So for about five minutes I couldn't figure out who Marnie was marrying and if I was supposed to know...then I thought it was Ray and was pleasantly surprised....and then Desi reappeared. Was a pretty funny recollection.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

I liked it about as much as i didn't which is more than i could say for anything from last season

I had a similar thing with Hanna's boyfriend

 

[metsallica]

I'm not ashamed to say I've loved every second of this show so far.

 

[Zyae]

Like this show but havent watched season 4 yet

 

[j-wood]

Man that was a boring premiere. Hannah is still a jerk I see. It's you're friends wedding day, and you're going to be stubborn about how you do your hair and makeup.

ok.gif

 

[Dan]

People thought some of the characters seemed more mature? I wish I watched that episode. It took maybe three minutes for everyone to exhibit the same self-centered, superficial bullshit as always.

 

[backflip10019]

Ray was funny. I liked that.

 

[captjohnboyd]

Ray was amazing as usual. I wish that guy would get cast more but I guess her fills a pretty niche type so it's hard outside of girls. I think Adam driver has really grown as an actor as well over the course of the series. That scene with him and Hannah's new boyfriend was expertly done. Both of them had me cracking up

 

[Dereck]

I forgot how much I don't like any of the main characters.

Is that Baron Vaughn

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Totally forgot this was on, will catch up tomorrow or something. Better call saul is on too soon.

 

[Inferno313]

Weird watching an episode of this post-TFA. Driver was basically given a sit-com celebrity guest star entrance.

Weird watching an episode of this post-TFA. Driver was basically given a sit-com celebrity guest star entrance.

It was pretty much a Kramer entrance...just needed the applause.

 

[Macadinho94]

Andy Greenwald on his podcast said episodes 2 and 3 are stronger episodes overall. Looking forward to it. Also shipping Adam and Jessa.

 

[gdt]

Fantastic episode.

I kinda always feel that way though. I just generally love this show.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

New episode tonight!

Good Man

Spoiler

Fran moves in with Hannah when his roommate's behavior takes a turn for the worse. Meanwhile, Hannah's dad needs help when he dives into the deep end of the dating pool; Adam and Jessa spend the day together after an encounter at an AA meeting; Ray sees a rival in a new cafe across the street; and Elijah meets a well-known news anchor.

 

[Seesaw15]

All the line delivery was fantastic this episode. Frans face was killing me.

 

[KingKong]

Corey Stoll is a gay man is the most believable performance he's had in years

Ethan Phillips was pretty great too.

 

[ZeroX03]

It feels like the show is playing hard into the comedy of these situations more than ever and it's really working.

AV Club: “Good Man” finds Girls threatening a full-blown comeback season

 

[RatskyWatsky]

That was a really strong episode - the humor was on point and the end solidly laid out the path that Hannah is going to be headed down this season. It also didn't hurt that Marnie was nowhere to be seen.

 

[Rookje]

I've had Kelela - Rewind on repeat all week and couldn't believe I heard it in this episode (the bar scene). Awesome.

 

[Dereck]

Jacob's crazy

 

[Macadinho94]

Lena Dunham can sure write a WTF scene. That scene with Adam and Jessa is so millennial

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Elijah still kills me. Show has been really funny so far.

 

[gdt]

Fantastic episode.

A nice touch was the quiet piano notes strung throughout.

 

[Dereck]

I liked the scene with Yassir Lester.

 

[lush]

Wasn't feeling the Adam-Jessa stuff at all this episode.

Lena Dunham Hospitalized, Actress to Undergo Surgery

The 'Girls' creator-actress revealed in February that she wouldn't be doing any press for the show's upcoming season due to endometriosis.
Lena Dunham was hospitalized Saturday morning due to a ruptured ovarian cyst and will undergo surgery, The Hollywood Reporter confirms.

"Lena Dunham has been very public with her personal bouts with endometriosis. This morning, she suffered from an ovarian cyst rupture and has been taken to the hospital," Dunham's rep, Cindi Berger, said in a statement to THR. "Lena will be undergoing surgery at an undisclosed hospital. We thank you for you understanding and hope that Lena's privacy will be respected."

hope she'll be ok

 

[Ovid]

I liked the scene with Yassir Lester.

That was the funniest scene in the entire episode.

This season is off to a bad start. The first episode was alright. This was one was just awful.

Wasn't feeling the Adam-Jessa stuff at all this episode.

Feels forced.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

New episode tonight!
