Broadcasting a world of whitness


This article was about a television show called “Girls” that shows Sunday nights that shows on HBO. Its about a girl and her non-boyfriend Adam that have sex and she later becomes pregnant .Her name is Jessa, she’s nervously deciding about an abortion but she comes to the decision that she wants to have children by many men of different races. The show failed and was harshly criticized after its debut this month .This show is full of all central figures- four young women wandering New York for love that are white. In the opinion of Jon Caramanica so far the non white characters are “on the margin at best, With just a handful of lines among them. This article mainly discusses the topic of how tv shows now a day are not diverse enough. The level of diversity determines if it stands or falls, and “Girls” is hardly in the whiteness”. HBO is a movie channel that was made to entertain. But movie critics don’t think that girls, the show is doing a very good job at it. JON the author say that many other shows that are not all whit dominant are not criticized such as the “East bound” or “How I met your mother”. Other shows that are aired on HBO are “How to make it to America” and “The wire  but these were also cancel after a couple years of being aired on HBO.but this show is to just show how we can improve and just to get the opinion, information and back round thoughts of  JON CARAMANICA
