So when I say up and down I mean it in the rollercoaster sense.
Contrastingly, the finale itself went about as unabashedly upbeat as the shows ever attempted.
The peaking and dipping has crafted an erratic tragicomedy tapestry that jigsaws together as a journey for the protagonists.
I wouldnt definitely say that Season 2 was just plain better, but I found it more interesting.
But then Season 1 was easily funnier.
However, let us never forget that Judd Apatow producesGirlsand his tendrils of influence occasionally creep in.
But this episode also manages to do what I brought up before.
The episodes I loved beyond that accomplished the same feat of big dramatic things communicated through brilliant comedy.
There isnt much to laugh at in One Mans Trash, but it isnt really trying to be funny.
Still, it was probably the most affecting episode of the season, if not the series.
In a scene I nearly covered my eyes for, she ends up rupturing her eardrum with a Q-tip.
They break up in the finale.
Inevitably, the marriage falls apart (over the course of one episode, in fact).
She does not return for the rest of the season.
Hannah breaks up with Adam and has sex with, well, kind of a lot of guys.
Hannah lands an e-book deal at one point, but has a lot of trouble writing the book.
The stress and lack of a friendship support structure drive her crazy.
Marnie… jeez, Marnie.
She loses her job and lands a completely unglamorous hostess position.
She and Hannah refuse to make up as well.
Charlie and Marnie rather cheesily declare their love for one another and get back together.
I also find it hard to criticize a show this unpredictable.
But its not as thoughGirlsmakes no sense.
Shoshanna cheated on Ray because she was feeling alienated from both him and her old friends.
Certain plot points felt rushed along or appeared or disappeared with little fanfare.
Sometimes moments were played at a level of unabashed sincerity that I would deem inadvisable.
