This is just a quick comment on the latest Girls' episode, specifically the Adam-Hannah arc. They clearly need a break from each other. It is starting to feel a little exasperating between the two of them. They both seem more at ease away from each other. Adam lamenting how he misses his bachelor pad is funny considering how this is where he composed hostile songs for Hannah and spend most of his time pining for her. This arc needs to take a backseat for a while. Others have far more going on. Shoshanna was really coming to her this season. I would have definitely like to see more of that. Jessa is picking up the pieces of her life, and it feels so good to see her try. Ray and Marnie have a weird connection which I hope grows into something substantial next season.
Lena Dunham definitely wanted us to hate Hannah this season. That has been achieved. She has been deconstructed with brutal honesty all the way to this episode and I could not be more embarrassed for this girl. This only semblance of sympathy I feel is for how things are for her with Adam. This oddball of a situation has taken a life of its own. Its hard to comprehend any of it. Hannah has been horrible to everyone this season, except Adam. She has decided that she is better than everyone and she does not hesitate to give them a piece of her mind. Her office-mates were genuinely nice to her and that worked out great for them (eye roll). She has not made any progress in mending her broken relationship with Marnie which stays pretty much where it was at the end of season two. Jessa has not been around a lot, though I doubt Hannah would listen to her either. She has judged everyone and put them in their place in her mind. So, the only one who can turn her around is Adam. He truly is the only one she has any love and respect for. How this will play out in the finale is interesting, though it does not look good for the two of them.
That said, they need to also stop taking up so much air time when there are other interesting and budding relationships simmering about. Adam Driver has rose to an even more prominent role this season. This show started out as the story of Hannah and her friends. That tone has definitely shifted to accommodate Adam's exponential growth in importance for Hannah. They are a pleasure to watch together, few other TV couples could match their chemistry. But, unless Hannah decides to grow up or is somehow forced to, a temporary break-up between them will be a welcome sight.
