“GIRLS” is the worst show on television. This is including the new ABC drama series, “Mistresses,” which is convoluted and overacted, to say the least. The difference between the two is that “GIRLS” is lauded as the voice of a generation. Our generation, to be exact.

We at the Simmons Voice are surprised. We had no idea that the voice of our generation was so white. Ironically, the New York Times published an article in April 2012 titled, “The New Shades of Feminism?” with a photo of the cast of “GIRLS” beneath it.

For those who haven’t watched this self-indulgent show, it stars four white women trying to make sense of their lives in New York. In the pilot episode, we learn that Hannah’s parents have been supporting her financially since well after her graduation day.

In what world is this the voice of a generation? And who among you would react the way Hannah did when her parents cut her off? (“All I need is $1,100 a month for the next two years.”)

Amid criticism for an all-white cast, creator Lena Denham generously added Donald Glover as her Republican boyfriend in the second season. Then he was written off in the second episode.

The show’s co-executive producer Judd Apatow said that the show is intentional, and “that’s the joke of the show.”

Apatow also noted that “GIRLS” is supposed to be a comedy about intelligent women whose lives are just a mess trying to make it in New York.

John Cook, a writer for Gawker, said it best, calling it a  “television program … about the exhaustion of ceaselessly dramatizing your own life while posing as someone who understands the fundamental emptiness and narcissism of that very self-dramatization.”

In response to the monochromatic nature of “GIRLS,” Apatow said that there was plenty of time to have all kinds of people on the show. We’re a little surprised that a show trying to be so “real” would slack so hard on the diversity factor.

More recently, the show depicted without warning a violent sex scene that many victims of sexual assault found to be triggering. How is a show so irresposible not only still on the air, but still doing fabulously in the ratings department?

We would rather watch “Mistresses.”
