UNDERRATED: Adam Driver on 'Girls'

The first season of <a class="taxInlineTagLink" id="PECLB00013059" title="Lena Dunham" href="/topic/entertainment/lena-dunham-PECLB00013059.topic">Lena Dunham</a>'s often uncomfortable HBO series was neither as flawless nor as flawed as its hype and corresponding backlash proclaimed, but its secret weapon was Driver as Dunham's buff and generally shirtless boyfriend. Initially coming off as dim and repugnant, Driver's character became the most weirdly grounded and assured presence among them all as the show found its legs.
