Instead of glitz, Girls finds humour in the seamier stuff: bad sex, bad bosses, abortions, STDs and, along the way, relationships and self-worth.
April 15, 2012
Girls is a triumph for Lena Dunham.
April 15, 2012
Better, smarter and more honest than your average sitcom, but also perhaps focused on a rather narrow slice of the 20s universe.
September 17, 2013
One of the things that impresses about Dunham, both the actress and the writer, is how hard she is on herself: There are no forgiving winks or charming bouts of rom-com clumsiness.
April 15, 2012
Succeeds in making viewers uncomfortable while proferring a new (sharp, slightly bitter) flavor of introspective female comedy.
April 15, 2012
Dunham has written characters so nuanced and honest they feel utterly new.
April 15, 2012
Her [Dunham's] smart and idiosyncratic comedic voice would probably work better on the page than on the screen, without real people embodying her intensely self-absorbed and unlikable characters.
April 15, 2012
Girls is an exceptional piece of American art, as witty as The Women, richer in raunch than Portnoy's Complaint, charismatic like Sleater-Kinney.
April 15, 2012
Ties the grimaces and grins together with a comedic sensibility that allows you to see these characters as they are with all their irritating and contradictory behavior, but still root for them as they feel their way into adulthood.
