Girls: Season 2 Episode 1: "Its About Time"





So this year I planned on reviewing a couple of TV shows, they include: Archer, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones and Mad Men.  The one I was on the fence about is Girls.  Then last night, Lena Dunham won  Best Female Actress and Girls won Best Comedy Television show at the Golden Globes, the same night of it’s Season 2 premiere.  I guess it was the universe telling me I should include this show on my rotation.  Or not, who cares.  Anyways, here’s my thoughts on the Season 2 premiere.

The episode definitely felt like a season opener.  It seemed busy trying to catch up where all the characters left off and establishing where they are now, which is understandable.  Still it was entertaining and once the party rolls around, things start to get better.  Hannah is dating Donald Glover!? I like his work on Community and the rap group Childish Gambino, I hope he adds something to the show.  Their relationship looks promising.  Shoshanna is still weird but had my favorite scene of the night.  Marnie has an interesting encounter that turned out to be pretty funny.  Jessa shows up for a scene out of nowhere. 

Overall, a good opener. 

8/10
