Okay, this isn't really the kind of show that gets a fannish following, but it has been, shall we say, getting a lot of attention lately. And most of the Internet discussion I've seen on it goes more or less like "OMG fat protagonist ewww" "Fuck you Lena Dunham is the biggest genius the human race has produced since Shakespeare!!11!" "If you watch that show it probably means you're a whiney overprivilieged asshole just like everybody on it!" etc, etc.

Opinions? Personally it's...actually the only thing I've been keeping up with, mostly because I don't have time for more than one TV show and I enjoy it, but I also find it's very good... value? Because it pays off far better than any other show in IRL conversations made possible because of it. It seems like every woman under the age of 30 has some kind of strong opinion that can start a discussion.

sorry, but I don't hate Lena because she's fat; I hate her because she's a racist POS and so is her show

+ I'm not really interested in the plights of privileged, whiny, rich kids

Preeeeeetty much this.

And the way critics slobbered over her from the start and worship at her altar is gross. Just super gross.

I've never seen the show. However, I dislike it - or to be more precise, I don't like the way that some people talk about it. For all I know, it's a great show. But what I don't like is the way that people talk about it as though it's generation-defining, as though it's THE chronicle of what life is like for people in their 20s today. I especially, ESPECIALLY don't like it when people who are in their 40s or 50s say that. It's never going to be definitive and I find the things that people think makes it definitive kind of insulting. I'm being honest here. I could go off on something about how it's privileged or about how it bothers me how many of the people involved are second-generation Hollywood (which does bother me, but it's not at the root of my feelings about the show) but that would be a red herring.

I know very little about the show (ie. nothing about privilege etc) but my first introduction to it was people saying that it was exactly what life is like for women in their 20s. And I knew then that I never wanted to watch it, because I had a very strong feeling that something in it would be treated like the norm for women in my demographic that I would be or feel the complete opposite of, and I would despise the definitive universalizing that people would take away from it.
