[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the main character supposed to be on the spectrum? Her social skills are extremely lacking. She says things bluntly, and without thinking.  [/quote]

This.

If she’s on the spectrum, then let us know so we can be forgiving and sympathetic.

But right now she just seems like a clueless jerk. She’s unlikeable. Uninteresting. Where are here endearing qualities? [/quote]

What I appreciate about Lena dunhams shows is how unfiltered they are. I’m not there to see endearing, unrealistic characters. This is Lena’s world through her own eyes - someone who is simultaneously fascinated by herself and self loathing, and the witty, cynical, self centered way she sees the world around her.

Don’t get me wrong, I love a trite show like Emily in Paris, but I also appreciate a show where the characters are more multi dimensional and flawed.[/quote]

I agree with this. I am really enjoying this show, despite all the negative reviews here.  I like these characters and feel like I haven’t really seen them before.

I don’t think these two are going to make it as a couple long term maybe. Things are too easy now?  But oh!  All that talking at the beginning really is such a good sign for a good match, so I hope they make it. I’m not sure he’s expressing everything that’s on his mind. Shouldn’t he maybe have been a little mad at her for the boss’s party where boss beats him up and she’s mad at *him*?

Anyway, I like it. And I liked the episode where they were alone all night (just worried she’d miss work but it was fine).[/quote]
