Show Summary

This show takes a comically wry and offbeat look at the ups and downs of a group of twenty-something girlfriends living in New York City. The cast includes creator, Lena Dunham, as Hannah, an intern at a publishing house in SoHo; Marnie, a motivated assistant at a political PR firm and Jessa, a down-to-earth girl who wants to be an artist and teacher.

    I didn't realize that the star Lena Dunham was also the writer and producer of the series, As a woman its like watching parts of my life over again and I love it. Its real its raw its awesome. I hsd an Adam in my life but was too stupid to see what was right in front of me. Watched the whole season in a couple evenings and am craving season 2.moreless
  • Lena Dunham you're BRILLIANT!

    9.5
    I'm thrilled, positively surprised, hooked up, you name it... I happened to stumble upon this show and it loooooved from the first second. Then I saw the rest and I was more and more into it. OMG, Lena's a genious, she's simply brilliant! She manges to write, produce, act and direct this show and she's "only" 26!!! You have ALL my respect. Everything feels so NOW; the show is actually about what's happening among people today (i'm speaking for italy, sweden and poland) so quite a fetch of europe... guys acutally do act that way and so does girls. Plz keep on rolling, hope to see you again next season! LOVE U!!!!moreless
  • 9 episodes and countless of Dunham nude scenes later...

    5.5
    I really liked this show to begin with and found Lena's Hannah a refreshing lead female. 9 episodes and countless of Dunham nude scenes later and not only have I begun to lose my interest but I'm also starting to genuinely dislike all the characters. The plot has no continuum, no build up and no hook . The characters are written in such a choppy and sporadic way resulting in shallow stick figures doubling up as watered down indie versions of Carrie (Hanna), Miranda (Marnie), Charlotte (Shoshanna) and Samantha (Jessa) and no Duham the fact that you acknowledged the obvious comparisons to the SATC crew in the pilot episode of the show does not exempt you from taking accountability to the fact that there is just no escaping from it. In addition to shallowness and bad stereotypes the characters spend so much of their time bitching about each other's faults and accusing each other of selfishness (and boy are they selfish alright) that in turn we, the viewers, just end up hating them ourselves. I mean is this show really meant to be a comic, but ultimately honest, look at the lives and friendships of 20 something year old girls living in the big city? Cause if so geesh what a bleak outlook it is. Despite little spark of genius here and there and real snort-laugh moments this show takes itself far too seriously for me to enjoy it for what, I can only assume, its creators envisioned it to be whatever that may be? Nowhere is this better expressed than in Dunham's main lead Hannah, a wannabe writer leaching off her parents and best friend to pursue her artistic calling; this pursuit is sequentially translated to 'Dear Diary' gossip - the only way in which Hannah knows how to apply her talent, that is when she is not too busy playing the submissive girlfriend and uncaring friend. Seriously can someone just please slap that girl tell her to grow-up, get a job and shut-up already about your obnoxious boyfriend!



    Bottom line is I'll stick it out till the end of this season but if you're after a NY show about nothing littered with self-indulgent characters then just play Seinfield reruns (14 years on and it's still pure TV gold) or rather if it's 'single ladies living and loving in the big city' type of show you're more inclined towards you're better off tuning in to the original.



    And Christ Dunham put some clothes on! No one needs to see that week in week out.moreless
  • the Napoleon Dynamite of Modern day t.v.

    8.0
    the plot is their is none. the story builds along the line of living life one day at a time with no plans and no general since of what the future has. Plot: stuff (s**t) happens and life don't wait around for you to get a std check. Cheers!! for something different
  • It may be the real life of our time but what is the special here?

    1.0
    I watched the boring pilot patiently, but after a few second of the second episode, I thought we are going to watch a porn movie, so I gave up. I am not against sex on TV but when the story demand it as in Californication, but sex just for sex or to bring more teen age people to watch it, that is not acceptable for me.
  • Strange but good show!
    Is it just me or does the way they film this show and the clothes they wear sometimes make it seem like their from the70's or 80's...
