THEY JUST WANNA HAVE FUN?


You know when you're really obsessed about a TV show and think nothing could ever make you hate it? That's how I felt about Girls, and then... season 2 happened. Watching season 2 of Girls was literally painful. What I used to think was one of the best things to happen to television became the worst thing. Lena Dunham, what the fuck happened?

To break season 2 down, I've made a list of highlights and low lights from the season. Bare in mind, the low lights will out weigh the highs because season 2 was so shit.

Highlights:

1. Random guy dancing at Charlie's party
2. Charlie's "All of this" speech
3. High Hannah in a yellow mesh top saying "It's a Wednesday and I wanna feel alive"
4. "Fuck you bitch"  - Su Jin, Booth's assistant who's boyfriend is doing lights for Carly Rae Jepsen
5. Marnie's rendition of Stronger by Kanye West

Lowlights:

Everything else in the show. Why the fuck did she fuck a doctor for an entire weekend only to suddenly realise how much she wants to be happy? If her OCD was such a life altering mental illness, why was it hardly mentioned in the first season and then suddenly she's so crazy she's busting her ear drums? Marnie's stupid "I wanna have your brown babies" speech in the last episode, let me not even get into that because we all know she's a gold digging hoe. Black Republican boyfriend named Sandy... really? Lastly, Adam running across New York while facetiming with Hannah.

Season 2 was a season that left with many unanswered questions. I felt like Lena lacked creativity and that she needs to go back to the drawing board. Save your show before it becomes another Gossip Girl, epic in the first season only to become an epic fail. Unlike with season 2, I'm not on the edge of my seat anticipating the next season.

Rating: 1.5/10
