It's interesting that she's taken the show in this direction. I hope that we get to see a different side of Hanna before the series finishes for good - I want to genuinely like her, rather than just watching how shallow and narcissistic she is. All of the experiences she's had, good or bad, none of them seem to change her. I know this show is a comment on a generation, but after 6 series you want the characters to mature and change, or even become more self-aware of their actions and consequences. Lena has always been bold, with the sex and nudity and confronting the body-shamers, and I've admired the series for that. It was fresh and different. But the characters seem stuck in their old habits, there's none of the chemistry between them anymore and 6 years on we've come to expect a bit of nudity each week, but now I feel 'meh' - been there done that.
I hope Dunham doesn't disappear from the public eye though - I feel like she's got more to offer.
