This. Though both are probably playing younger characters then themselves. Their age difference is actually pretty similar to the characters in the book, so I don't understand why people are trying to make dumb hasty statements like "this is the entertainment industry!". I mean that is a problem in the industry but

A HUGE Thank you to some of the staffs for having the decency to put Girls in their ballot. The underappreciation for the show's truly magnificent fifth season is just wrong and, quite honestly, awful.

About the finale, I don't think Frances said 'yes' to her lawyer thinking that it would destroy Robert's dream - I just think she didn't care. Especially with the money, she has total upper hand here, so she probably thought she had the right to go for it. Robert's silly act in the end, well, it seemed like a

Unlike Gwen, I find Frances to be very fascinating protagonist. And also, I don't think she's the 'evil' one at all. No, she's not a hero, that's for sure, but she's not the evil one as well. Affair is, well, evil I guess, but she is not. With Frances being the primary earner, and pretty much supporting the kids AND

First of all, I loved your reviews Gwen, but I do think that yes, you had a hard time with this episode because it was very different of what you hoped/visioned. Which is fine, but I'm a bit confused because I found this show to be very, Very, VERY cynical show from the beginning. I found this to be very fitting to

IMO, the reason she gave up her dream job was because she really wanted it to be her own. She's divorcing him to have a fresh start, to finally reach out for what she wants and what she always dreamed…. but having to minus Robert's half would constantly remind her of him and would always follow her like a shadow.

I seriously had no idea that Younger Shelley was Lauren from Younger. Excellent work from Molly Bernard.

Probably my favorite episode so far. I get that this show is divisive, but I'm quite loving it and the last three weeks were pretty excellent imo. I love the cynical and even sometimes very mean style of comedy this show is presenting, mainly because the show knows exactly when to stop before it gets too much. The

I agree. Believe it or not, there were some moments that I wished Raquel and Josh to get back together, since I thought they had great chemistry. But watching this episode sealed the deal for me: they shouldn't. Unless Josh goes through some unbelievable change and becomes a complete new person, nope. It was just so

In the same comparison, if Mary was born in a world without aristocracy, she would have been just like Peggy Olson. And she would have been a more compassionate person.

Why do people say Anna is not her friend when Anna totally considers Mary as her friend? Anna literally said no one has been kinder to her than Mary. So Mary did that to Anna because she wasn't threatened? lmao

Oh, I think I misunderstood your word "admire". I do admire Mary, but I also don't want to be like her.

Am I the only one who thought Henry and Mary was a fantastic match? I do agree there wasn't enough time (their relationship should have started during the middle of season 5, and 6). Their chemistry was something that we see in modern romances, which was very dynamite and sexy. I liked how different it was from

Just because she didn't become "kinder" does not mean she didn't grow at all. Mary grew A LOT. Possibly more than anyone else. I might even go and say she is the most progressive character. Sure there was Sybil and Tom, but they were progressive from the beginning to end, while Mary was the one slowly realizing the

I feel sorry for everyone who can't see the brilliance of Mary as a character. I'm not going to defend her behavior, because she is a bitch. However, her entire journey is much more dynamic than any other ones and if there were one character who deserved happy ending, it's Mary. Look how she started, with all those
