As one of the most hilarious shows on HBO, I have no shame in admitting that I spend my weekends binge-watching GIRLS just to see more of their ridiculous antics. While I'm definitely not saying that this representation of Brooklyn is the best or even that accurate (as everyone seems to forget that Brooklyn spans over more neighborhoods than the hipster headquarters that is Williamsburg), there have been quite a few moments — especially in the show's earlier days — where I've found myself nodding along to the characters' often shockingly insightful prose.
