HBO's 'Girls' Season 1 Finale: How Four Girls Made Television History
What did the first season of Girls accomplish?
For starters, as a show that has been around for three months, it has spurred a wave of conversation and criticism unprecedented for any other series. It has been the focus point of dialogues regarding racism, white privilege, body types, and about the disillusionment of the millennial generation. Not a bad start.
The first season of Girls was nothing short of an undulating roller coaster. A digital media rawhide torn-apart from every direction.

For this interview, I headed up to one of the karaoke rooms above the Highball bar in the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar where Khan was waiting with a chipper attitude and a bag full of breakfast tacos. The chipper attitude is noteworthy because it was day eight of the festival, and I, personally, was sucking down a sugar-free Redbull like my life (and subsequent interviews) depended on it.
