Girls: Season 1 [Blu-ray] [2012] [2013] [Region Free]

I finally got my hands on this brilliant show, which well deserved the critical acclaim it got, and put Lena Dunham on the map (my map, anyway, after a bit of a research I found out Lena was rocking the world with her creations well before the "Girls").Perhaps not from the pilot, but from the second episode I was hooked. The show is edgy, smart, funny, quite unique, different and a bit (sometimes more than a bit) awkward. Okay, there is not much of a story behind this season (apart from a few drawn lines), but each episode is its own story, and each chapter is one brilliant sitcom in its own right. The series slowed down in the middle episodes, there was, at times, a lot of over-dramatising (and a bit of over-acting in the beginning), but overall the show was very much enjoyed by me.I loved all of the characters, from narcissistic and aloof Jenna to uptight Marnie, and curious, honest, with a wry sense of humour, phenomenal (and embracing it) Hannah, and, of course, Shoshanna, who lives by the rules of bad reality shows and self-help books with titles like "Listen Ladies: A Tough Love Approach to Love."Time flew by! (And I appreciated less than half an hour episodes - you can watch a few and still have an evening left!) Yes, when I think about this I admit there is not a lot of philosophising going on, and I appreciate a lot of people may think there is no substance to the series, no glowing idea behind "Girls". But I tend to disagree. And in any case, I think the series is a great way to banish the boredom and cringe at the mistakes made by someone else, rather than you.I cannot wait to watch the Second Season. Roll on Christmas!P.S. And you have to check out the soundtrack!P.P.S. Have I mentioned that I love this show?!

Honestly, this is just selfindulgent trash by a girl who is probably set for life now with money from this show. It's just episode after episode of badly written plots and stories to make the main character seem infallible. She's a terrible pwrson and the show only seems to indulge her. If there was a lomg running plot to keep me hooked I'd carry on but honestly this is just sad.

I bought this as part of a secret santa last year, my friend LOVED it and went on to watch the remaining seasons.It's a great programme.

Not what I expected

Rubbish

If you're a fan of Sex & The City, you'll love this.The girls are in their 20's with varied walks in life and different backgrounds and each one is unique in their own way.It's laugh out loud funny and easy to watch and you feel for each of the girls.There are some also great guest actors throughout the show.10 out of 10, great fun

I like this, I found the characters believable and enjoyed the world, I laughed aloud and it was zesty and funny, however, I wonder how the narrative can be sustained. Are we really going to care indefinitely about this group of anxting 20-somethings seeking self-realisation through series after series? I don't know.
