A Show I'm Obsessed with Right Now
GIRLS. This show is the bomb. It's about four girls living in New Yawk trying to find their way. Sound a little famil? Yeah it's gotten plenty of the Sex and the City comparisons but besides the fact that it revolves around four women living in New York City, they are vastly different. First of all, Sex and the City made everything seem glamorous and as amazing as it was it was pretty unrealistic. The opening scene in the pilot where Hannah's parents tell her they are cutting her off and she goes on to talk about how lucky they are that she isn't a drug addict reminds me of conversations i've had with my parents plenty of times. This scene is just brilliant. Lena Dunham is 26 and is the creator, writer, director and star of the show. I just think she is so rad. She makes these four girls real and flawed. She isn't afraid to highlight the not so pretty parts of the scary time in your life where you are trying to figure out who you are going to be. She makes the friendships and the sex disarmingly true. The show has already landed an Emmy nom for best in a comedy series and Lena for best actress. If you haven't seen it already I highly recommend it. The music is great, the characters are so relatable, and the writing is genius. I'm kind of dying for it to come back on. How will I entertain myself now?
