This new show on Comedy central (if you're from the U.S.) called Broad City? It's a more realistic version of "Girls". It's only two episodes in but it more accurately depicts the SWPL life of girls in NYC ( at least that's my take). Check it out.

We shouldn't be encouraging 2Wycked to watch shows. He already clearly spends too much time in 'psychoanalysis of fiction' land. I'm worried that one day he'll walk out of the house and see the real world, decide 'Nah,' and go back inside to pen yet another epic 200 000 word essay on the Narcissism inherent in the underwear colours used on American TV shows.

Have you seen the Kroll show sketch they do called, 'Publizity'? "It's based off our names." I'm not sure what they're mocking, if it's just American girls in general or a specific show, but it's hilarious.

Turn speakers down for this.....

I like his analysis. *shrug*

I laughed out loud at this thread and the comments.

I have seen commercials for the TV Show on Adult Swim. May have to check it out, as I have purposely avoided watching "Girls."

As someone who watches Girls, this show is not the same thing at all. It's a million times funnier, and more of a cartoonish depiction of SWPL girls. Also, both of these girls are infinitely more fuck-able than Lena Dunham, though that realm occupies the same space as certain towels and cups.

You watch.....Girls?

I watched the first season of Girls expecting to hate it. I did hate the characters, but I found the show overall pretty well-written and actually kind of funny. I really loathed the characters, but it was an accurate description of lame millennials and alpha/beta relationship dynamics.

I watched an episode and half of the second season and quit. It stopped being funny and became the show that I wanted to hate in the first place.

Yes, I find time amidst my hours of xoJane perusal to catch the show on a weekly basis.
