Girls, Veep, and LA Complex = fun

Okay, we need to talk about some new TV that's happening.

Let's start with Girls on HBO. It's frank, unnerving, laughable, and unflinchingly smart. Created, directed, written, and starring the adorably annoying Lena Durham (a 25 yr old phenom that gives all women hope to make it in Hollywood.) Girls chronicles 4 girls that are so completely different from Sex and the City that it is refreshing. If you got HBO, check it. It's worth it just to see something new.

Also on HBO, we have a new show called Veep. Starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus as the Vice President. Because I'm not as political or smart as I should be, some of the dialogue was lost on me. But, the show was great. I'm looking forward to this show. The banter hits such a perfect pitch that I sometimes wonder if the show was actually directed. It's so perfect. (Yes the show was directed.)
Here's a quote from the show that should sum it all up,

"Honey. What is plastics made of? You piss off plastics, you piss off oil. And you do not want to fuck with those guys cause they fuck in a very unpleasant fashion."


I laughed a lot at this political farce(?) and of course, Julia Louis-Dreyfus is exceptional as always. 


Now on to my trashy TV.
Premiering tonight on the CW is LA Complex. This show has every criteria to bring Mindy to squeals.
