OK, this may be my most off the wall question ever

Part of it is her writing such great material at such a young age. It's not just 'Sex in the City rebooted.' It's Millenials growing up in a post SatC world with all the expectations and disappointments adjusted and rationalized. She [and her friends] are growing up in a perfect situation for their demographics, yet are both flailing and thriving in said situation, depending on your metrics.

The key is her eye for minutiae. In the most recent episode, there's a 5 second scene of her trying to do the workout being shown on the TV that's the most depressing and endearing scene I've seen in a long while. A while back in season 1 there was an extended scene where a rich guy who had lured two hotties to his impressive crib, but they were amused with him than impressed, and he loses his shit in an impressively inventive way. You have to see the scenes to realize their import. There's no more I can say.

It's the epitome of a a 'you had to see it' situation. Watch 2-3-4 episodes of the show and come back and discuss is all I can advise. I've never seen anything so contemporaneously repellent and adorable in a long while.

Pretty much nailed it.

It's a brilliant show.

And I didn't even mention Adam who may be one of the most brilliant characters in TV history, with practically nothing to do. He'll be a seeming complete asshole for so long, then mutter the most endearing rationale under his breath that more than excuses it, it makes it the exact right thing to do.

Like I said, you have to see it to understand.

Who would have thought they'd EVER see a scene where someone was peeing in the weeds at a rural train station, on the phone with her parents whining from her UTI?

Like I said, hilarious, repellent and adorable.

So I am all caught up on the series thanks to you bringing it up here. Do you know, or are you a member of the Generation N(Narcissism) portrayed on this show? I know a few and this show is pretty much on the money with this directionless bunch. Much of what I have seen is cringe inducing because I've seen it play out in real life over and over again.

Other than that, the most redeeming character on the show is either Adam or Ray, in my opinion. Both guys are brutally honest about who they are, to a fault almost. Everyone else seems to be all about mememememememememe. Maybe I am just a grouch...
