The show's tone is difficult to encapsulate, engendering a polarizing response. It relies on CringeComedy and tongue-in-cheek humor, portraying its characters as immature, flawed and often deeply selfish--{{Designated Hero}}es, in short, who may be lovable but are not necessarily likable. The show also catches flak for being almost comically hipsterish, privileged, white, and New York-centric. Critics, however, have come down pretty strongly on the "Love It" side; the show's won a number of "Best Comedy" and "Best Performance" Golden Globes and Emmys, as well as a "Best Comedy Director" for Dunham from the Directors' Guild of America--the first time a woman has ever won that award.
