This Show....
So I want to talk about the show Girls. Before I watched it, I read about it. Mostly on ONTD. I heard from its naysayers, but still I thought it would be interesting to watch. So I started watching it on the HBO GO site and I finished watching over the course of week.
The show is...very problematic. I didn't really notice it as much in the first season, though there were things I thought about.
So I just finished watching episode 2 and Hannah breaks with the Republican dude that also happens to be black. Like I don't know how to feel about this. The show is very white washed and I feel like she only brought on Donald Glover to silence her critics. But he basically didn't add anything to the show. Like what the fuck? And then I get to the end of the episode with Adam. She freaks and calls 911 before hanging up. The police show up and she tells them she didn't really mean it, but Adam sort of freaks. They arrest him because of previous citations.
Like I get having different political ideologies and I am no stranger to that. But Adam is basically stalking her and she actually calls the police? There's something wrong with this picture to me, like whoa.
I read another hundred pages of Mine Till Midnight and I wrote about 600 words. I've met my min. goal in the spreadsheet but like I said on Twitter, I wanted to be at about 20,000 words by today, but haven't been writing 1,000 each day, so yeah.
