'Girls' Season 3 Spoilers: Allison Williams Talks Christopher Abbott's Exit

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 08 May 2013 13:30:32 +0000

Though HBO's eternally buzzing Lena Dunham dramedy 'Girls' made little regular habit of cliffhangers, many found themselves perplexed by the the unusually optimistic ending of season 2 finale "Together," which largely reunited the season 1 couples. That ending was thrown into chaos by the sudden departure of actor Christopher Abbott, for whom the season 2 finale had suggested a larger role, but what do Abbott's castmates have to say about the exit? Preview Marnie's updated outlook in 'Girls' season 3 inside!

Recently, news broke that 'Girls' lost one of its main boys -- series star Charlie Abbott was reported to leave the series over creative differences, despite the fact that season 2 finale "Together" set up an important role for the character next season.

Fans of HBO's 'Girls' well know that the acclaimed HBO dramedy isn't solely about the titular gender, but also tends to highlight its "Boys" as well. Adam Driver's Adam in particular has broken out as a character despite his recent dissociation with Hannah, but will he be able to hold his own story from Sunday's episode "It's Back?" And what new bombshells does Shoshanna drop that have Marnie literally running for the hills? Find out in the latest 'Girls' previews for Sunday's "It's Back!"

HBO's 'Girls' "Video Games" Preview: Meet Jessa's Family

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 23:15:11 +0000

The concepts of 'Girls' and "Video Games" don't usually bring to mind Lena Dunham and her controversial-yet-acclaimed HBO series, but Sunday's all-new episode will take on a new meaning altogether. Once again escaping the confines of Brooklyn as in last year's Michigan-centric "The Return," this Sunday's 'Girls' outing "Video Games" will take Hannah and Jessa to meet the latter's estranged father (Ben Mendelsohn) and his girlfriend (Rosanna Arquette), but how would you like a first look? Get a 'Girls' sneak peek inside!

'Girls' Review: "Boys"

Britt Hayes — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 02:30:03 +0000

Hannah’s finally writing a book, while Marnie finds herself in a situation Hannah might be familiar with and Ray and Adam take off on a little adventure in this week’s ‘Girls.’ John Cameron Mitchell guest stars as a publisher who’s finally making Hannah’s dreams come true… sort of. He’s paying her to write an e-book, [...]

'Girls' Review: "One Man's Trash"

Britt Hayes — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 02:30:43 +0000

Like season one’s “The Return,” “One Man’s Trash” is a Hannah-centric episode, but this one blissfully leans a little heavier on the drama. After last week’s stellar episode, ‘Girls‘ is just as fantastic this week, albeit for different reasons. Last week gave us what I consider to be my favorite episode of the season so [...]

Ben Affleck and 'Argo' Win Top Prizes at the DGA Awards

Jacob Hall — Sun, 03 Feb 2013 16:13:00 +0000

Okay, this is just getting silly -- another major Hollywood award ceremony, another victory for Ben Affleck and 'Argo,' this time at the Director's Guild of America awards. If this was like any other year, Affleck would look like a shoe-in for the Oscar...except that he's not nominated. Which means that Affleck's repeated victories make this year's Academy Awards the hardest to predict in recent memory.

'Girls' Review: "It's a Shame About Ray"

Britt Hayes — Sun, 03 Feb 2013 02:30:04 +0000

This week’s episode of ‘Girls‘ (airing tonight thanks to the Superbowl) is titled “It’s a Shame About Ray,” and while that’s certainly accurate, it’s also kind of a shame about Jessa, too. Those who have been a little agitated (as I have) with the lack of Jessa in the first batch of ‘Girls’ episodes this [...]

'Girls' Preview: "It's A Shame About Ray" Arrives Early

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Sat, 02 Feb 2013 00:30:47 +0000

As even 'Girls' viewers likely realize, this Sunday's usual TV line-up might have a few more crickets than usual, as most of America tunes in for the Super Bowl (or at least the commercials in between the big game). Thankfully, HBO isn't going to make you choose, airing both 'Girls' and 'Enlightened' a full day early on Saturday, as well as their regular Sunday timeslots. But why wait, even until then? Get a sneak peek of this weekend's all-new 'Girls' episode "It's A Shame About Ray" inside!

'Girls' Review: "Bad Friend"

Britt Hayes — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 02:30:17 +0000

It’s not really a “crackcident” if you do it on purpose. Hannah and Elijah do some cocaine this week on ‘Girls,’ inspiring Hannah to get incredibly honest. Hannah scores a freelance gig at the kind of place where the editor wants her to try drugs and have a threesome so she can write about it. [...]

With HBO's 'Girls' all the buzz these days, and '30 Rock' soon to close its doors with its January 31 series finale, we've been wondering what some of our favorite NBC stars would get up to next. In addition to his producing deal with Universal TV, it seems '30 Rock' star Alec Baldwin may make the move from 'The Girlie Show' to just plain 'Girls,' based on a recent conversation between Baldwin and 'Girls' creator / star Lena Dunham. Find out who Baldwin might play on the next season of HBO's 'Girls' inside!

'Girls' Creator Lena Dunham Addresses Donald Glover's Casting, Will He Return?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 18:12:10 +0000

Amid the mixed criticisms of Lena Dunham and HBO's 'Girls' that plagued the first season, the most publicly confronted was that of the show's lack of diversity among its characters, an oversight that many believed 'Community' star Donald Glover's casting in season 2 would address. Dunham has long stated on record that Glover's casting arose before the criticism, but has recent episode "I Get Ideas" created another debate on the show's quality? Find out what Dunham herself has to say of Glover's role on 'Girls' season 2 inside!

HBO Winter Preview Shows Off 'Game of Thrones,' 'Girls' and More

Jacob Hall — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 02:38:38 +0000

Let's face it: no one cuts trailers quite like HBO. In an age where we've seemingly forgotten that trailers and TV spots are advertisements because they're put together so artfully, HBO continues to be leaps and bounds ahead of the competition. Thankfully, their content tends to live up to the marketing. Their newly released Winter Preview promo (which you can watch below) reminds us why they're worth the subscription cost.

'Girls' Review: "I Get Ideas"

Britt Hayes — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 02:30:07 +0000

If Jessa is the free-flowing river, then Hannah and Marnie are adrift at sea in this week’s ‘Girls.’ And maybe Shoshanna and Ray are the only ones who really have “it” together, whatever “it” is. Thanks to his dalliance with Marnie, Elijah and George have broken up, but Elijah’s still bent on Hannah never finding [...]

'Girls' Talk: "It's About Time"

Britt Hayes — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 21:40:12 +0000

Welcome back to our weekly 'Girls' talks! This week we're joined by two critics to discuss the season two premiere of Lena Dunham's HBO series. In "It's About Time," Marnie and Hannah have seemingly switched roles, but does Hannah really have it together? And did Marnie ever have it together in the first place?

'Girls' Wins Best TV Series, Comedy or Musical at the 2013 Golden Globes

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 03:34:17 +0000

'Girls' might not have taken home so much gold at the 2012 Emmy Awards, but the 2013 Golden Globes are certainly making up for it. Previously awarding 'Girls' creator, writer, director and star Lena Dunham the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a TV Series, Comedy or Musical, the Golden Globes have upped the ante by awarding 'Girls' with the Best TV Series, Comedy or Musical statue. Find out what TV series didn't make the cut inside!

There's certainly no escaping it now. Love or hate Lena Dunham's body (of work), Sunday January 13 will officially see the season 2 premiere of the always-buzzy and always-controversial 'Girls.'

'Girls' Season 2 Leaves Behind Andrew Rannells

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 18:30:40 +0000

We're just days away from the season 2 premiere of HBO's Judd Apatow-produced, Lena Dunham-helmed dramedy 'Girls,' but already there's a bit of bad news. Whereas the first season finale "She Did" set things up so that 'The New Normal' star Andrew Rannells' character Andrew would move in with Hannah (Dunham) for season 2, it seems the arrangement isn't going to last. Find out how Andrew Rannells departs 'Girls' season 2 inside!
