RECAP: The GIRLS Are Absolutely Losing It
March 10, 2013

Here we are at the penultimate episode of GIRLS' second season - a season, that, well, hasn't felt entirely like GIRLS. At least not the narrow-in-scope, boho-Brooklyn series we came to know from the first go around last year. It's turned into more of a depressing mish-mash of millennial problems and bad life decisions, that constantly make me question my own. Lena Dunham has taken GIRLS to a dark place, occasionally good, but for the most part, mediocre.

CRITIC'S CUT: Best Binge-Worthy Shows on Netflix
March 4, 2013

RECAP: The Boys are Back on GIRLS
March 4, 2013

As unnatural as it is for GIRLS, this week's episode, 'It's Back,' strikes a formidable and welcome balance between the show's leading characters - minus Jessa, of course, because no one knows where the frack she's run off to. The boys, this time, are on a path of foreward momentum, while the Girls are sputtering around in lop-sided, smokey circles, while previous haunts of their past reappear.

RECAP: Life is But a 'Video Game' for the GIRLS
February 25, 2013

Last night's episode of GIRLS, 'Video Games,' attempts to show why Jessa is a hipster-coagulation of boho brevity, approaching life lens-less and free. It's nice to actually see her, but it's weird, you know, because she's gotten about 9 minutes of screen time this season. It's also more than welcome considering even Ray got his own episode.

RECAP: The GIRLS Are Naive, Also Complex
February 17, 2013

Isolationism be damned, the rest of the Girls are back this week. Following last week's highly-controversial episode - which may or may not have been a dream of Hannah's depending on who you ask - Girls has picked up the storylines previously introduced, even taking the viewers and a rabid dog to Staten Island. Good times in the city.

GIRLS RECAP: Hannah and the Trashman
February 11, 2013

In its one-and-a-half seasons on HBO thus far, GIRLS, and Dunham, has become known for its self-indulgence. Tonight, it wasn't a bad thing. Before we get too deep into 'One Man's Trash,' let's be clear: this is a Hannah-centric episode. No Marnie, no Jessa, no Sho. Just Hannah and the Trashman.

RECAP: Cocaine and Mesh Tank Tops, the GIRLS Do It All
January 27, 2013

Some musings after tonight's episode of GIRLS: should one attend an awful nightclub while high on coke and dressed as a pre-teen girl? Probably not. You'll end up in a yellow mesh tank top that's not yours.

CRITIC'S CUT: The Most Empowering Female Characters in TV History
January 25, 2013

This week's edition presents the women that moved televised feminism forward. These ladies (and those that played them) aren't just admired for their acting prowess. Those featured had a stake in making TV no longer a man's world - they were embodiments of the best that humanity had to offer, gender be damned. And in general, they were pretty badass in their own right.

RECAP: GIRLS Just Wanna Self-Sabotage, The Season 2 Premiere
January 14, 2013

GIRLS does not try to be the cheerleader in veneers. GIRLS is the mathlete with a chipped tooth from that time she tried eating spaghetti while walking up stairs. Girls is honest. And after last night's two Golden Globe award wins (one for ‘Best TV Comedy' the other for series creator/writer/director Lena Dunham), the show's buzz from season one led to immense acclaim.
