Who exactly are we rooting for on this show?

The Show: Girls, the brainchild of writer-director Lena Dunham, is a new-age Sex and the City of sorts, following four twenty-something women as they tackle relationships, work and general existential malaise in New York City.

Why It’s Overrated: What Dunham has created has to be respected for sure: she’s got a singular artistic voice and her directorial chops are solid, yet after four seasons, the show’s characters have evolved from endearingly quirky to insufferably annoying, with Girls as a result becoming a popular one to “hate watch” despite consistently strong critical reviews.

Yes, Dunham steers far away from the conventional sitcom format and presents authentic, believable situations, but the self-absorbed nature of the characters is at times unbearable, and they frequently feel like they are now parodies of themselves.

There’s a strange irony in that the two central males – Adam (Adam Driver) and Ray (Alex Karpovsky) – are easily the most likeable characters in a show called Girls, though perhaps that’s the bias of a male perspective seeping into this entry. Either way, it’s a series as obnoxious as it can be entertaining, so it’s something of a poison pill should you choose to subject yourself to it.
