A common criticism of this season of Girls has been that Adam has seemed watered down in comparison to previous seasons, almost as if the writers were trying to make him more palatable now that he is a series regular. There's something to that if you look back to seasons one and two and see his callousness toward Hannah and his unsettling sexual aggression. It feels like a big leap to see him go from the guy who borderline-raped his girlfriend Natalia last season to the surprisingly sweet, supporting boyfriend he has been this season.
