Lena Dunham and Allison Williams are still getting used to people actually liking “Girls.”

“We are not used to the way people feel about the show now,” Dunham said during a conversation with Allison Williams at New York City’s Swarovski store on Thursday evening. “It’s a daily surprise.”

When “Girls” premiered in 2012, Dunham and her co-stars became frequent targets of criticism over everything from the show’s explicit sex scenes to its portrayal of privileged young women navigating their ’20s in New York City.
