An aspiring writer and her three friends in New York try to make sense of what life has in store for them after college. They're not sure what they want or whom they want it from, and the picture isn't getting any clearer. Hannah thinks she has what it takes to be a successful writer, if only she would write something. She wants a boyfriend without dealing with an actual relationship, and she wants a job without having to work. Marnie is Hannah's best friend, a Type A personality who has a serious boyfriend and an actual job. Jessa is a devil-may-care bohemian whose apparent lack of fear hides her own kind of insecurity. Her cousin, Shoshanna, is an NYU student who would love nothing more than to experience a "Sex and the City" lifestyle. The others tend to underestimate Shoshanna, but she proves to be a sharp source of wisdom.

Dom @RT63119453 03/31/2023 Adam Driver's character is so fucking terrible. See more 06/05/2022 This is one of the best shows I have ever watched, and I binged all of the seasons while pondering if it could ever be possible to love a group of characters any more than this! I fully concur with the critics - "Insightful and well-cast, Girls captures the experience of contemporary twentysomething womanhood with a bristling wit that's alternately hilarious and effectively squirm-inducing." See more 12/10/2016 Lots of funny and lots of despised characters. Preachy and flaky in spots. Still funny. See more 04/15/2016 There were some loose ends I felt weren't really tied up. Like Hannah and the doctor that she was spending time with, what the hell happened with that?? See more 04/11/2016 la partenza è, fisiologicamente, meno lenta rispetto alla prima stagione, anche se poi si allinea comunque a quest'ultima per contenuti e qualità generale; girls insomma è sempre adorabile e tutte le puntate scorrono che è una bellezza, col giusto piglio a metà fra l'umoristico ed il sentimentale. però boh, ho sempre la sensazione che manchi quel qualcosa in più, da ricercare forse in un'estetica che risulta un tantino basica -- posto che parliamo comunque di un prodotto più che ottimo. See more 04/01/2014 Littered with despicable characters and utter monotony, there's very few points of interest to maintain one's attention. There is nothing wrong with casting an entire series based around despicable characters whose every dilemma is trite, superficial, and self inflicted, it can work tremendously well (see Arrested Development for a point of reference), just don't expect me to pull for any of them when things don't go their way.
