The show is funny. It's like a broke version of sex in the city. Lena Dunham and her dry sense of humor keeps me laughing. I can totally relate to some of the situations. Would recommend watching. Took a star away b/c Hannah is always naked and it got to be a bit much.

I lovelovelove this show and find myself relating to the characters at times. I see myself in the awkward but blunt Hannah and see others I know in Shoshana, Marnie, jessa, even Adam. Not only is it relevant but there are so many laugh out loud moments. Ex: the episode when Hannah does cocaine and goes to a rave. My only complaint is with how Lena Dunham's character is naked all the time. At first I was like "you go girl!" But it got to be a bit excessive after a while.

Hilarious. Painful. Remarkable. Humiliating. Intriguing. Dark. Sentimental. It's good and bad, lovely and sad. I could go on, but this is one of the best television shows I've ever watched. Speaking as a twenty-something, I relate to this on a personal level. There's something so personable about these characters that makes you sympathize and hate them at the same time. Incredible dynamic. Stunning cinematography and writing. Top notch.
