I don't mean that in an acrimonious way - I don't hate people who watch "Girls" - but in a way that clearly draws certain kinds of lines of demarcation between "us" and "them". My two daughters (early 20s) love the show, as to many (but, significantly, not all) of my female college students. I watched the first episode, and parts of a few others, and tried really hard to like it (because I wanted to be thought cool like my hipster daughters and students) and just could not stomach it (and this even not taking into account the idiosyncratic use of nudity in the show). It is not that I do not undertstand these people, I feel like I understand them, and I dislike them intensely, and I am alarmed that my daughters seem to admire them and in some ways want to be like them. I guess I had a similar reaction to "Sex in the City", except my wife liked that show, and we are on the same side with "Girls". -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
