I watched few Girls episodes here and there and I can't tolerate main characters, but the story is nice. Last episode received a lot of media attention because of... Penis.
"After Hannah endorses several online accusations about the author — in which young female fans detailed run-ins with Palmer that turned into sexual encounters of questionable consent — Chuck, played by Matthew Rhys (“The Americans”), invites Hannah up to his ostentatious apartment to confront her. Over the course of a heady 30-minute episode, they spar, laugh and connect over Philip Roth. Then he takes out his penis." That was pretty smart. Never meet your heroes. And, Girls is by far better written than SATC. No wonder it's much more acclaimed. |

I can't believe it's still controversial. How many times do we see naked women on tv in a week?
I mean... do I want to see that? Nope but controversial? Come on. __________________

It wasn't even a real penis, but it wasn't about them showing his penis... But about how messy the whole moment was.

And I don't know, but hasn't SATC won A LOT of awards? I watched it and the show was likeable and for the time it was a great show. Girls is just the same show with weaker characters in a totaly different time imo. But that's just how I see it __________________

I can't believe they gave SJP acting awards but then Seinfeld won and he said himself his acting sucked. I guess it was also another time. Cable basically had no tv shows and it was new and "edgy". Girls faces a more competitive and critical market. __________________

SATC just didn't age well. I understand the impact it has, but it was never good to me.
Let's take ER 4th season (took this show because I'm familiar with it) and first season of SATC that aired at the same time: ER still looks somewhat fresh (even when it was mostly filmed on WB lot) while everything from dresses to camera work of SATC looks very of it's time and dated. It's that "eww, how could we wear/watch/listen this" type of nostalgia. IDK how to explain it. |

ER looks old as ****. My sister was watching episodes with Alex Kingston a few weeks back and I was surprised by how old the direction and sets and storytelling felt. Even Brit tv seems like it ran out of ideas. The glam 70ies prequel of Prime Suspect with some CW bimbo as the lead might have felt like a good idea to someone but hmmmm __________________

Maybe 4th season was a scratch, but early 00's seasons aged very actually good, IMO. First season is very dated, I can admit.
Storytelling depends on the episode. It only went downhill somewhere in season 7 when everyone, including our favourite JM decided to leave just because everyone was doing it. There was very good story with Alex Kingston btw, when she felt sexually attracted to killer and he made her admit it. They later tried to do the same in Grey's, but it looked hilarious. BTW, it all comes in comparison. Let's take Grey's for example. Show looks so cheap, they even started using green screen on soundstage because actors are eating the whole budget. Compared to that, Chicago Hope and even first seasons of House M.D ER aged very well. But like most shows that use a lot of special effects and shows that filmed on WB/Universal studios it never had a chance to be that perfect timeless show. |

I don't think Grey's looks cheap, or dated at all. I watched E.R. aswell and loved it, but it felt dated as hell, even the later seasons. Many people compare E.R. to Grey's, but personally I never do that. E.R. focussed a lot on the cases, while Grey's focusses more on characters imo. I always prefer to compare Grey's to House M.D., because they both look more of this time. I think we're all bias as hell though
