The thing about ranking Girls episodes is that the stuff on the bottom of the list is often as notable as the stuff at the top. Even when the characters were drawn too broadly for the comedy to really work, or there were plot twists that felt out-of-the-blue, the series was rarely boring. The episodes at the top of the list are remarkable, stand-out TV, and the episodes near the bottom are the moments when the series didn’t seem to know where it wanted its characters to go. Missteps from its characters are such a part of the Girls DNA that it can be hard to tease them out from the aimless moments in the series. In other words, some of the show’s gutsiest episodes are the ones at the top. But there’s plenty of pluck at the bottom, as well. Here, then, is a ranking of all the episodes of Girls, running the gamut from the great to the infuriating.
