Pilot

Girls is a more grounded version of Sex and the City from Lena Dunham. In the opening scene we see Hannah Horvath (Lena Dunham) wolfing down her food as she has dinner with her parents.

Hannah is informed by her parents that she can no longer sponge of them. This comes as a shock to her. She is living in New York and hope to make it as writer.

Her job is an unpaid internship with no hope of a real wage. Hannah's no strings attached boyfriend attempts to soothe the shock with some lube and access to her back door.

A more realistic look of young people living in an apartment in one of the most expensive cities in the world. This is a dramedy rather than a comedy.

It makes a change from the cookie cutter sitcoms with young women in the city but this pilot did lack jokes.

That boyfriend of Hannah looked like the guy who killed his dad in Star Wars. It turned out it was him!
