r/girls

The only time I fully laughed out loud was when Hannah is singing wonderwall to herself in the bath then screams as she sees Jessa standing there. Then Hannah's face when Jessa blows her nose into the bath water

Btw I found a lot of the show funny but I'm an internal laugher, it's why I like to watch shows solo cos people think I'm not enjoying myself but I am lol

Hi, new to the sub and I’m on season 3. I had a question for people who have more experience with the show. I really can’t stand Jessa right now. And I know she’s been through a lot with her parents, yes. And she’s an addict, yes. But I am struggling to have empathy for her after 3 seasons and her very bad choices all the time. I mean, all the characters make bad choices of course. But it seems like Jessa only ever does the wrong thing. She will do one step forward, and thirty steps back. Does it get better for her? Is she just in a bad place right now? Am I terrible for not having more empathy for her? Is there something I’m not seeing?

I am watching the series for the first time now that I am around the age of the main characters. Truly I envy the life styles of the characters. The freedom the characters have in their friendships and day to day life is unheard of in my generation. My peers and I tend to be uptight and fallen into this sunken place post grad. These characters are able to grow in their post grad life and have a confidence I do not see in young women today. Just my thoughts. Was it really like this to live as a millennial at that time or is it exaggerated for the show?

basically the title. She seemed to want to the whole series and it didn’t make sense to me that he never returned the feeling. his character just seems like he would

Late Season 3 Major Barbara Adam can GTFO.

He's treating Hannah like some ole leftovers in the back of fridge i don't like it.

Where the fuuuuuuuck can I stream this please. Sincerely, begging

I know this has probably been asked a million times, but I just watched the show for the first time recently and am looking for something to fill the void. I’ve also seen and love Sex and the City if that helps. I’ve heard Broad City is a good one so that’s def on my list of possibilities!

How do you leave your mother when you don't have a father to take care of her? There are 5 siblings of us: two live out of the city, one lives abroad, and the fourth brother lives at home with her (he is 24 and has a job). The only people remaining in the house will be my nani (grandmother), one brother, and my mom. How can you leave your mother especially as a daughter, when you want to move to another city for university?( As a pakistani)( Or as a muslim girl coz maybe non muslims cant understand this bcz this is normal for them)

Just like the title says, it happened to me. Hannah was in jail and I was visiting her. She sent a letter to a friend of Ray’s to try get him to visit her (I guess in my dream she loved Ray?), but she didn’t know that Ray and I had undying love for each other that we were hiding for her sake. There was a moment in the dream that Ray and I were sitting next to each other and my body fell into his and we were wrapped up in each other. It felt so warm and tender. Like we were puzzle pieces that fit. There was no hair brushing, but there may as well have been. I can’t believe it. I had a love dream about Ray Ploshanksy.

Hannah saying “I’m feeling just a little bit frail. Haven’t been eating that much, so I don’t know if I look, like, scary thin or anything.” And Laird responding with “Nope. You look like your voluptuous self to me.” HAS ME CRYING

I made my sister watch the first few episodes of season 1 with me and she didn’t get it at all. She found it quite boring and asked me what I saw in it. Then I realised that it’s really from season 2 where the show becomes AMAZING. Seeing the way Hannah acts even in the pilot is so crazy because she ends up becoming SO funny in the later seasons like the ‘frail’ scene or the ‘it’s almost summer’ scene.

TLDR: Anyone else agree that this show gets better along the seasons and season 1 isn’t the best season?

Hey guys. First time watching girls and I’m up at S5 ep 4. I wanted to jump on here to give my thoughts around the whole Jessa and Adam thing that is starting to happen.

Just the other episode Adam was really emotional and asking Hannah to get back together, when they are gathered around Caroline and Lairds newborn baby. Hannah is really emotional and said that she couldn’t. She didn’t explicitly say why, but from what I gather, I just think that she made peace with not being with Adam, and perhaps she could sense that maybe he was fresh out of this relationship, and maybe not wanting to reconnect with her for the right reasons. Is this a good interpretation of that conversation?
Anyway,
I feel like this is really valid because when Hannah got back from Iowa, she was also really emotionally pleading with Adam and I think was really struggling to accept that Adam was moving on because she herself hadn’t moved on.

So he’s rejected her when she wants to reconcile, and now she’s turned down his request to reconcile.

But I still get the sense that Adam has feelings towards Hannah when he said to Jessa that couldn’t go in to …Maybe it was Rays chairman party…and said “I miss her too much” and walked away.
Anyway…!!!

Now he has feelings for Jessa and I’m like seriously? Yes I know Hannah is selfish but at the same time, I do feel like she tries to be a good friend. She’s the one who picked up Jessa from rehab. She also went with Jessa to see her father earlier in the show and was abandoned.
And yeah Jessa was going through shit and I can understand but it just feels low for Adam to be entertaining this now.

I acknowledge Jessa rejecting Adam advances and saying that they can’t pursue this but I don’t see it ending well. Or maybe it does who knows.
I haven’t finished this episode lol.

Maybe people find Hannah annoying but if this was to happen, I would definitely feel sympathy for her character. I don’t feel like she’s so horrible that this is justified, especially when it’s kept from her.
Anyway, I’ll keep watching and maybe I’ll feel differently but I just felt strongly in the moment that I am not rooting for Adam and Jessa. I think that would suck when considering Hannah and Adams relationship. It’s not like they dated for a month and broke up. They were a committed pair.

I hadn't thought about how old he was and now in my 30s too as I rewatch this recently. I didn't realise what ages he was or it didn't cross my mind but season 5 I think he references how he's 34. I know it probably came up when he dated Shoshanna but I hadn't thought of an exact age. I wonder how he even ended up friends with them? Is there any lore on that? Or just through the cafe?

There is a song that is playing as Hannah walks up and briefly as she walks into Booth's house in the episode where Marnie is hosting the party. Does anybody know what song this is? The melody and production is so catchy but I can't make out the lyrics!

Adam and Hannah should’ve stayed together…
maybe not stayed together, but I wanted more time with them after he finds out Hannah is pregnant. I know he and Jessa and all that nonsense. I do think he’s an asshole. That being said… I loved him with pregnant Hannah and I loved seeing how he treated her for that one episode.
