Jon Caramanica in the New York Times dislikes HBO’s new comedy-drama, Girls, but not because of its depraved lack of morals:
“THOSE looking for hints of racial tone-deafness on the second episode of “Girls,” last Sunday on HBO, wouldn’t have been let down. In an early scene Hannah...and her nonboyfriend Adam (Adam Driver) have sex. Later Jessa (Jemima Kirke), nervously facing down an abortion, insists, “I want to have children with many different men, of different races,” as if they were trinkets to be collected, like key chains or snow globes.”
Plato Sandilands asks: why have so many critics overlooked the dangerous immorality of the show and focussed only on its racial composition?
