朋友们,我们别再谈电视剧了行吗?

雅各比说：“我在大学时不情愿地读了普鲁塔克(Plutarch)，后来又勉强自己看了《都市女郎》(Girls)以了解这些乱七八糟的东西都在讲些什么。但是我不想讨论普鲁塔克，也不想讨论《都市女郎》。”她口中所说的这部HBO电视台的剧集由莉娜•杜汉姆(Lena Dunham)编剧和主演。这部喜剧有大量让人尴尬的性场景、沉闷压抑的工作描述以及杜汉姆本人频频裸体出镜的画面，这在评论家和知识界种引起了轩然大波。而相对于该剧规模较小的观众群体来说，这些人所占的比例有些超常。

On May 26, Netflix will unveil 15 new episodes of a densely woven comedy that disappeared from network TV seven years ago, 'Arrested Development.'
