Yes. This. The ending of pretty much any episode of Girls blows a massive hole in the "but we're not meant to like them!" argument. After which everyone starts saying, "OK, they're unlikeable, it's a comedy, comedies have always had unlikeable characters!" And then someone points out that there are whole stretches…

Yes, that's it. I've just finished reading Foucault's Pendulum and the last film I watched was Godard's Helas Pour Moi, but some trust-fund kid pointing a camcorder at her awful friends is just too profound, complex and philosophically provocative for me.

You're not supposed to empathise with her, but you're also supposed to keep watching her, care about what happens to her, and not hope she shuts up and goes away forever. That's the bit I can't really manage.
