Last night, the HBO original series, GIRLS premiered to stellar reviews! Being someone who had a chance to tune in and watch the latest effort from multitasker extraordinaire, Lena Dunham (Tiny Furniture), I was happy to see all of the positive comments on the show this morning. I really enjoyed it and could relate (despite being a rural Midwestern girl-an unrealistic fear some reviewers pointed out that could cause alienation to some viewers).The show follows four young women in New York City trying to find themselves and navigate the adult world. Lena Dunham takes the lead as Hannah, an intern (two years after graduating from college) who is suddenly financially cut off from her parents and subsequently fired from her internship when she tells her boss, working for free ain't gonna cut it. The situations and conversations are incredibly relatable and realistic-save for the scenes when the girls pile into the bathroom to bathe or go pee. How many women have actually experienced this? Pretty funny, though.
While the show has some room to grow comically, all of the characters are fresh and real and I'm really excited to see where the gang goes from here. Watch GIRLS Sundays at 9:30 Central on HBO if you're looking for a humorous and realistic take on young adults living in the Big Apple.
