Wasn’t it already announced that Girls and Enlightened were returning in January?
Lena Dunham is a phenomenal writer. Some people are just jealous of her and can’t stand it that she looks normal.
Girls is a game changer in how women are portrayed on TV.
Enlightened is one of the best shows on TV. Girls is critically acclaimed because an over-weight girl is brave enough to appear naked in every episode
and I love this show because of her
Looking forward to more Enlightened – Laura Dern is truly awesome.
LOVE ENLIGHTENED!
