The pace of 'Looking' is slow and predictable, the comedy falls flat, and there is no encouragement to keep watching. Honestly the only thing going for this show is that there are gay characters. But that's a novelty and will wear out quickly.

So a couple writers on Vice.com are proposing that the sitcom Friends "created a generation of neurotic, self obsessed idiots." I'm not sure Friends could be singled out as the catalyst for millennial self obsession, but I'm inclined to agree that it managed to throw its hat in the ring.

Girls does something many shows have done before: present a set of characters whose personality and choices are rarely admirable or at times even forgivable, and still craft a world where we care about what happens to them and agree to follow their comical/tragic misteps.
