The characters in Girls take drugs. They “hook up” in a manner that makes the casual sex of the 1960s seem like an arranged marriage in Oman. And they drink and they vomit and they drink and they vomit and they drink and they vomit.
“The young people in Girls are miserable, peevish, depressed, hate their bodies, themselves, their life, and each other. They occupy apartments with the size and charm of the janitor’s closet, shared by The Abominable Roommate. They dress in clothing from the flophouse lost-and-found and are groomed with a hacksaw and gravel rake. They are tattooed all over with things that don’t even look like things the way a anchor or a mermaid or a heart inscribed “Mom” does, and they’re only a few years older than my daughters.

IMO anyone who lets their young kids watch shows like this are guilty of very poor parenting. Watching these shows leads the pre or young adolescent to think that the behavior in these shows is normal and expected. For example, if a show repeatedly shows teens having sex on the first date, that is what they think they are expected to do when they start dating. After all TV shows that is what all the cool kids are doing. These shows are not entertainment, they are essentially instructional videos whether they were meant to be or not.
