It seemed like everyone reached their breaking points during Girls’ “Cubbies,” even Hannah’s dad. And just when it started to seem like things would be okay for some of them, of course things went terribly wrong. What else was I expecting?

The first two episodes of season 4 of Girls set up Hannah going away to Iowa. Now in the third episode, “Female Author,” we really got to check in on where everyone is. And Hannah and the others had to learn some pretty hard lessons this week. I know that while promoting the fourth season, […]

Yes, my new favorite guy, folk guy (I […]

Has Marnie finally found her singing soul mate? It’s okay, Marnie, wear your Michelle Branch love proudly. Adam’s new folk singing, actor friend stops by and Marnie, Shoshanna, and Elijah are immediately smitten. He was even on One Tree Hill! I don’t know what Hannah’s problem is, that guy’s awesome. This week on Girls, Hannah […]
