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.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Insightful and well-cast, Girls captures the experience of contemporary twentysomething womanhood with a bristling wit that's alternately hilarious and effectively squirm-inducing.

Brittani Nichols Autostraddle Comedies aren't always about whether you can relate or not. It's about being funny and all three episodes had several laugh out loud moments... But I have to say that I think Lena Dunham gets to be out of the box because she's white. Sep 1, 2021 Full Review Kelsey Wallace Bitch Media It's tough to talk about something that's already been dissected so extensively, but I will say that, for a show that is praised for being about likable but flawed characters, that is exactly what it was: likable and flawed.

Elen P I'm watching it again, 10 years after the first time and I've felt the same exciment, have the same laughs and happiness seeing it. It's really too good. Simple, funny and good. It has a combination of struggles, complex characters and at the same time has all the futilities of youthness at that time (and some not just from that time). Beyond that, it has Adam amazing f*ing Driver, acting marvelously as he always act. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Never have I seen a more unfunny so called comedy Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review
