Anyone here a fan of Girls? I'm a bit late to the party - the third series started last week but I'm catching up from the beginning via On Demand. Just the six episodes last night. It is really chuffing brilliant. I am totally bowled over. Why did no one tell me how good it was?
It's proper grown-up comedy - exec produced by Judd Apatow, and very much in the same style as his own stuff (definitely not suitable for children!), but much sharper writing, much less puerile boy shit. Just a bunch of 20-something women telling it like it is (which is kind of uncomfortable viewing at times for a boy, but hilarious all the same).
Lena Dunham (writer, director and star) is an incredible talent - staggering to think she was just 24 when she got commissioned to make it.
