This show feels so autobiographical even though it isn't billed as directly based on Lena Dunham's life. There's something about her writing that you just know she's working out her own issues. She plays the main character's sister but one of the supporting actresses from Hacks is the lead.
Sent me down a rabbit hole on Dunham's relationship with Jack Antonoff (now married to Andie MacDowell's daughter actress Margaret Qualley) and her current relationship with UK musician Luis Felber. Apparently, everything from the throwing out pillows to dog adoption and re-homing are all things from her life. |
Honestly, I can't stand her. She's always angry and thinks everyone has wronged or slighted her. |
So girls was very imperative for me when it came out. It was really kinda the anti SITC and geared towards the ugly transitional years of life. It was funny and self deprecating. But similar to SITC, it has a shelf life. And LD wants to continually be her character in Girls and at some point it looks and feels pathetic and dumb, when it use to be cute and somewhat insightful. This is now, the dumb and pathetic time is now. She needs a new angle. |
Any Lena Dunham is too much. |
I’m hate watching it because I just cannot stand her and her writing, but yes it’s plainly obvious this is biographical. The lead is very good and the episodes are intriguing and that’s about it. And she looks awful these days. I know she has health issues but come on. She’s let herself go. |
Exactly. She needs to stop sharing all her isssues. |
She is MARRIED to Louis Felber

Its SATC |
First ep was not good. |
Great review in NYT. |
She definitely has a perspective. I feel like we need more not fewer strong eccentric women in Hollywood. So I'm okay with her whether or not I like every little thing she does. |
Oh my gosh. This show sucks. |
It was basically SATC targeting millennials instead of generation X. Glorifying being a whore in New York City in your 20s and 30s. Same depraved crap, new characters. |
I started playing this and saw Lena Dunham in the first minutes, and immediately backtracked.
So is so insufferable and annoying. It's an immediate 'No' from me. |
I agree with this. I find her generally “a lot” but I respect her non conformity to weight and/or beauty standards, in Hollywood, and agree we need more diversity of thought and experience, not less |
