Girls TV Show Reviews
“It's probably the smartest, funniest, most place-defining, generation-defining, now-defining TV show around.” Guardian UK
“There hasn't been a show since "The Sopranos” so concerned with bodily functions, and it makes its oft-compared predecessor “Sex and the City” look like a TeenNick production. But it's also fresh, bracing and original." Boston Herald
“It's raw, audacious, nuanced and richly, often excruciatingly funny.” Time
“The new HBO series from Lena Dunham (Tiny Furniture) is one of the most original, spot-on, no-missed-steps series in recent memory.” Hollywood Reporter (season 1)
“Girls continues to delight and provoke in a way too few shows can.” The Detroit News (season 2)
“Though the show is about twentysomethings trying to make it in NYC, the comedy is more universal, offering frank, hilarious portraits of the pitfalls of incipient adulthood…The result is a brutally honest, brutally funny look at the lives of twentysomething girls that goes from painful to funny (and sometimes to painfully funny).” DVD Verdict (season 1)
“Extremely funny and extremely raunchy (consider yourself warned), but Dunham's a major talent.” Newsday
“It definitely has a voice, and it's a great one: witty and wise and warm and not exactly like anything you've heard before.” Hitfix
“As bright-eyed and bushy-tailed as it was in its first season, Girls may now be even spunkier, funnier, and riskier.” Entertainment Weekly (season 2)
“It lets you simultaneously laugh at and with the characters, and feel justified for laughing, then ashamed, and then the pendulum swings back again; this is a much messier and more fascinating set of reactions than what sitcoms typically evoke.” New York Magazine
“Girls represents an exciting moment in television history because, like a handful of other shows (MTV's "Awkward,” most notably) it not only makes great use of the medium but has the creative guts to realign it for a new century and a new generation." San Francisco Chronicle
