Anyone watch the first episode? Yeah, it's a bummer that the cast is so white/homogenous, but the writing is sharp and funny, and the characters seem three-dimensional. I'll definitely keep watching.

I love people shitting on this show for the cast. I wonder if they watch TV, and if so why people are saving this criticism for this single show.
How many other shows on TV have a central cast that is all white? Why is it up to this show to fix what's wrong with TV casting in general? It may be a necessary discussion, but why is it hanging so specifically over this show?
I thought it was pretty good, though. I'm normally not super interested in super biographical fiction, but thismanages to avoid the smugness you normally get with that.

I chuckled a couple times during the first episode, but honestly, I thought it was kinda blegh. Certainly not bad, but just not something that grabbed me.

All I've seen of the show is the poster and I thought they were all the same girl.

Probably because people are calling it like, the most feminist thing that ever happened, and it's about women/written by a woman and women should know better, duh. I can't remember where I read it but someone said it's kind of stupid to call the show "unrealistic" since most white people in Brooklyn really do only hang out with other white people? I haven't watched it since I don't have HBO but it looks kind of annoying.

I really liked it, but I've been a fan of Lena's for a while so I went into it expecting to love it and I wasn't disappointed.
