Girls aired its season two finale on Sunday, and it was a rather ambiguous conclusion to the episodes we’ve seen this winter. We had a lot of feelings.

Girls Recap: Parents Just Don’t Understand
10:30 am, February 25th | by Sarah Devlin
Lena Dunham has created a very ambitious second season for her show this year, zooming in on unexpected characters and setting whole episodes in unfamiliar locations, trusting her audience to follow along. I’m not sure who will like this episode and who won’t, but for my part it felt like a bit of a stretch. Dunham has been writing for all sorts of characters this season — the mysterious doctor, Ray and Adam on their mission to Staten Island, and now Jessa’s father and girlfriend — and though I can understand why she wants to experiment with different voices, I wonder if she’s as adept at capturing the essence of a deadbeat middle-aged British estranged father as she is, say, a spoiled Midwestern Oberlin grad.

Girls Recap: How Long Does It Take To Write A Book?
10:30 am, February 18th | by Sarah Devlin
First thing’s first: this episode seems to confirm what I began to suspect last week, that Lena Dunham’s idyll with Patrick Wilson could have been a fantasy. That she shows up at Café Grumpy and does not get reamed out by Ray for skipping out on a shift seems to support this. Of course, Ray could just be distracted because Shoshanna keeps trying to get him to pay for Learning Annex lectures from Donald Trump and the like, as she seems to be getting more and more freaked out about her older boyfriend’s lack of direction.
