Lena Dunham’s new comedy on HBO, Girls, is a show anyone who’s interested in goo
Lena Dunham’s new comedy on HBO, Girls, is a show anyone who’s interested in good storytelling, intelligent and honest discussion of gender and sociality, and brilliant humor should see. The pilot is awkwardly and honestly funny. Hannah is an only child. She’s 24, has graduated with a major in English, and is interning in the heart of the publishing world: New York City. The daughter of two professors, Hannah thinks that she can rely on her parents supporting her until her internship gets converted into a job. Alas, over a dinner of pasta and chardonnay, her parents inform her that after two years of supporting her, they have decided to let her fly solo. And this is when the story gets awkward and promisingly good. Hannah turns her insecurities into a strangely bearable self-mythologizing parody and that’s what makes the show. 4 out of 5 funnies -- source link
