I heard about Girls last spring, but I never got around to watching it until now because I thought it would be about a bunch of well-to-do 20- somethings in NYC. Let's be honest. We already have Gossip Girl for that. When I finally got around to watching it, I was pleasantly surprised that it was a more down-to-earth portrayal of young women trying to make it in Brooklyn.
Unlike a previous poster who said that this show does not reflect reality, I am a 25-year-old woman trying to make it in NY, and I find that many scenes are similar to the real lives of my cohorts and I. Yes, some of my friends were being supported by their parents after college and have just recently been cut-off. Yes, it is hard to find a job in your field. So, you start taking any paying job without trying to sacrifice your dignity. As for relationships, there are a lot of weirdos out there.
Overall, I think this show is meant to be shocking and more real-to-life than many other shows about girls in NYC, and it achieves its purpose.
