I rewatched the whole six series recently and it was a delight; was also taken aback by actually how petite she is, considering she was meant to be “overweight”. It’s like Bridget Jones weighing herself being “fat” at 9 stone. I’m so glad things have moved on.
Thanks for the recommendations - I need to rewatch girls. Last night I was talking with friends about films and TV series that either wouldn’t be commissioned now (Manhattan- a difficult watch with a teenage daughter, though it felt completely okay when I first saw it sometime in the early 90s) or that feel quite different viewed at a distance.
I LOVE Meg Wolitzer and The Position is probably my favourite. Brilliantly funny and moving story about the children of a couple who write a hugely successful sex manual called Pleasuring!
Thank you so much for this recommendation – I will buy The Position! And totally agree about Manhattan – I remember finding it really creepy even the first time I saw it, which was probably the early 2000s.
What! You've never told me about Mike Birbiglia's podcast, it sounds great! I'll go listen now.
Haha just kidding!!! But this does remind me to GO LISTEN! Really enjoyed this dude, and I agree about Girls, although when I watched again recently it made me feel gloomy, but that's on me I think.
Interesting that Girls made you gloomy. What was it about it? I do think the storylines get gloomier and less lighthearted as it goes along – but I still love it.

The disrespect here is unbelievable...

Hmm I can’t say exactly, but I think the general tone of the show and the way they are?
