Product Description From writer/director/actor Lena Dunham and comedy veterans Judd Apatow and Jenni Konner, this scripted half-hour series focuses on a group of 20-something women in New York and their adventures in post-collegiate floundering. Two years out of liberal arts school, Hannah (Dunham) believes she has the talent to be a successful writer, and though she has yet to complete her memoir (she has to live it first), her parents cut her off financially without warning. Further complicating things for Hannah is her unrequited passion for eccentric actor Adam, with whom she occasionally has sex (when he can be bothered to respond to her text messages). As the harsh reality of rent and bills looms, Hannah leans on her very-put-together best friend and roommate Marnie, who has a real job at an art gallery and an even realer boyfriend (neither of which she can admit she might not love). Meanwhile, their gorgeous British friend Jessa, who has travelled to as many different countries as she’s had boyfriends, appears in the city and moves in with Shoshanna, her naïve younger cousin with Sex and the City lifestyle aspirations. Over the course of Season 1’s ten episodes, the four girls try to figure out what they want – from life, from boys, from themselves and each other. The answers aren’t always clear or easy, but the search is profoundly relatable and infinitely amusing. desertcart.com Lena Dunham mocks the idea of being a voice to a generation, but there's no question she's captured something ineffably of the moment in her sitcom Girls. Dunham writes and directs most episodes and stars as Hannah, a smart but self-flagellating writer floundering in the urban wilds of New York City. Both an homage and a counterpoint to Sex in the City, Girls has its own quartet: Hannah, who's just been financially cut off by her parents; Marnie (Allison Williams), lovely but uptight, who's bored by her too devoted boyfriend Charlie (Christopher Abbott); Jessa (Jemima Kirke), a transplant from England who keeps her true feelings hidden under a cool surface; and Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet), a hapless chatterbox who's ashamed that she's still a virgin. All of these girls, grappling with adult life, can be funny, irritating, embarrassing, and richly sympathetic--sometimes at the same time. Girls doesn't tackle themes per episode; instead, it's a series of moments, vividly observed and often joltingly funny social interaction and sexual relationships (some graphically depicted, with all the freedom that cable television allows). Dunham doesn't explain everything all at once, but gives only glimpses into the characters in each episode. At first, Hannah's relationship with Adam (Adam Driver) seems horribly one-sided, but by the end of the 10-episode season, the picture changes completely (and going back to watch previous episodes with new eyes is rewarding). While Hannah, Marnie, Jessa, and Shoshanna may suffer from the neurotic self-absorption of twentysomethings, Dunham and her cocreators do not; everyone in Girls is multidimensional, including parents and men on the periphery (Charlie's friend Ray, played by Alex Karpovsky, grows from some jerk to one of the more intriguing characters on the show). It's rare that comedy and compassion are so well-balanced. Like a microscope, Girls focuses on a tiny sliver of the world, but within that sliver lies abundant life. The Complete First Season also has an abundance of extra features, including auditions, deleted scenes, commentary tracks, interviews with the cast, and a revealing and lively conversation between Dunham and producer Judd Apatow. --Bret Fetzer P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Set Contains: Inside the Episodes A Conversation with the Girls A Conversation with Judd Apatow and Lena Dunham 5 Audio Commentaries with Judd Apatow, Lena Dunham and more See more Review: Grower not a shower - A few months ago I was going to be out of town for a few weeks in an area with no internet. So, I downloaded Girls onto my iPad because I saw that the first two seasons were available for free through desertcart prime. I had no prior impression of this show besides a few gifs I saw floating around the Internet. At first I found this show overwhelmingly annoying. I felt like I could not relate to any of the main characters' personalities at all. HOWEVER, with no internet to provide me with other shows, I eventually continued watching. AND I WEIRDLY CAME TO LOVE THIS SHOW AND ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THE CHARACTERS. Although the characters are hard to take at times, they are entertaining and (most of) the situations they go through are 100% relatable. After season two the show really comes into its own and ends up being addictive. Also, the main guy characters in the show are amazing (although I saw the new Star Wars before seeing this show and so that was weird at first). Overall, this show is great and I have binge-watched all the episodes up to the most recent episode in season five. I have no regrets. Give this show a shot, it may seem just ok at first but it gets much, much better. This show is a wonderful mix a comedy and drama. Review: Best show of my millennial generation. - A Quick Retort to the Haters: As a film-maker and a 20 something male, there is little to criticize about this show. Though many have indeed taken a stab at it, their indignation is usually directed toward the ontology of the characters in the show. Many of these critics shout their contempt for the "rich white girl" status of the characters, yet forget to define their concept of wealth or what it means to be spoiled. These individuals compare their own existential existence to those of fictional characters. Which only proves one thing, and this is that Girls is pretty damn good. Because if you pull away the girls wealth, race and location your still left with 4 crazy girls. Not women, girls. And that is truly why the show is so dang good. Because being in your early 20s is a ride of pure narcissism and ignorance. It's a time of mistakes and growth, denial and pride. And this show illustrates that so incredibly well. Why You Should Watch Girls: Prior to my rant above, I wanted to discuss why the show is worth buying, renting, or pirating. Like I said above, the show show is what its like to be in your 20s. Though the philosophy or experience might not include everyones ideology, I find it to have many truths. People in their 20s are selfish, ignorante and prideful. Sex, friendship and perennial relationshops are consistently defined and redefined. Such realizations we hold dear and ultimately true, only to be tweaked a year or so later. Girls illustrates this nature of man. The writing and cinematography is reminiscent of older Woody Allen films, yet done through the eyes of a women. Lena does this not through a radicle feminist agenda, but from an hernest and humain place. Both sexes are equal, and its about damn time. So pick it up and watch. If you dont like it give it to a young girl. After all the show is called girls, because thats what many 20 somethings are, children.

Funny and Original But Not for Everyone
My favorite type of shows, especially comedies, is when you cannot guess what is going to happen next. Girls avoids a lot of your typical clichés which make it refreshing. Especially for a "female" series; there is a sorry lack of smart programming. So many shows/movies are almost insulting. Even though the Girls are meant to make mistakes and when watching sometimes you will think "What is she doing?" the characters have complexity which is usually reserved for television's male characters. Much of this has to do with Lena Dunham, who stars, directs, and created this series. I was very impressed with her talent. Do I think Girls defines my generation? No - but the show definitely offers a different perspective than previously seen and I do find it relatable. It represents the time in your life when you have the education, and maybe even your intelligence has made you successful in school, but now you have to figure out what's next and how to survive in the adult world. The attitude shift in relationships is also interesting - the transition of the casual relationship that was typical in college to navigating serious, mature relationships. My "Not for Everyone" comment is that this show has a quirky humor that you will probably love or hate. You will not see broad, sitcom-like setup humor. For me, I was laughing out loud (hard) through the whole first season. But I also have a weird sense of humor so I am on the same wavelength. Lena's Hannah is for me the most interesting. Lena is brave in that she lets her character do and experience things that aren't the most glamorous. She has flaws, but not in the silly cutesy way where the romcom heroine is just a little klutzy. She seems like one of your real girlfriends. Jemima is a charismatic actress, and her Jessa is a force that is fun to watch. Marnie is a foil for Hannah. She is gorgeous but also has her flaws. For me, Shoshanna is the weakest part of the show, but she is also the least featured so I didn't mind her too much. The up-speaking delivery I find annoying and the character is one-note (at least for this first season). Hannah's sometimes-boyfriend Adam is a gem.

GIRLS est incontestablement la bonne surprise des séries de ces dernières années. La série rend hommage aux "vingtenaires" cette tranche d'age dont je fais partie et n'est ni trop trash, ni trop décalée, les personnages sont crédibles et brillants de sensibilité, Lena Dunahm en plus d'être excellente dialoguiste sait créer des ambiances à la fois dramatiques et comiques, les méler et nous offre certaines scènes excellentes tant par la réalisation, que par le scénario. A ceux qui pourraient penser que la série est trash et glauque, d'autres séries le sont bien plus et GIRLS essaie de retranscrire la jeunesse d'aujourd'hui de manière brut dans son rapport à l'argent, au sexe, à l'avenir. Il faut dire que la série ne saura plaire à tous, elle sort des sentiers traditionnels de la série américaine et se rapproche plus des films de Woody Allen ou de Sofia Coppola que d'un teen movie américain écoeurant. GIRLS montre le vrai visage des adulescents d'aujourd'hui, parfois cruels, parfois immatures, parfois intrépides, des êtres fidèles à eux même dans le meilleur comme dans le pire, accumulant avec eux leurs bonheurs comme leurs angoisses et cela fait du bien qu'on arrète de montrer aux adolescents comme aux adultes qu'avoir vingt ans c'est être insouciant, avoir une vie et des histoires faciles, boire du vin en souriant, tout ça bien évidemment en ressemblant à une couverture de magazine de mode. GIRLS est une réussite et un plaisir à voir et à revoir sans modération.

I love GIRLS! This show is so funny, intelligent and real. Filled with a strong, funny, quircky interesting feminist cast, written by a talented ambitious young woman, what else could you want for a HBO comedy! I am so happy I finally ordered season 1& 2 of this amazing show. I recommend it (mostly to women) to my sisters, best friends, and woman of all ages. There are so many "real" relate able moments in this show it's such a treat compared to most stuff on TV. Don't even think about it, order all 3 season NOW!

Une série récente très originale; créée, réalisée et jouée par Lena Dunham, nouveau porte-parole de l'humour juif new-yorkais revisité façon 21ème siècle (Woody doit s'inquiéter!). C'est l'anti "Sex and the City" trop aseptisé sous des allures libérées; le contre-pied à "Desperate housewifes" imprégné d'américanisme neuneu. C'est plutôt "F.R.I.E.N.D.S" version trash. Le tout est imbibé d'un naturel qui se rencontre peu actuellement. Le sexe et la nudité y sont très présents mais jamais avec vulgarité ou gratuité; tout simplement, comme la vie doit l'être. Tous les personnages sont campés avec brio (avec qui!) et particulièrement celui d'Adam (Adam Driver) est truculent: faux macho obsédé qui révèle peu à peu son romantisme postmoderniste. Je ne peux terminer sans parler (sans trop dévoiler) de l'irrésistible bad trip au crack de Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet), l'ingénue fantasque. Ce moment béni va devenir culte, assurément. Longue vie télévisuelle à Jessa, Marnie, Shoshanna et Hannah.

j"ai obtenu les 3 premières saisons EN FRANÇAIS mais, je ne peux pas compléter la série puisque les saisons 4- 5 et 6 ne sont qu'en ANGLAIS... donc, je suis satisfait de moitié seulement...

Die Serie wäre ja vielleicht ganz nett, aber die deutsche Tonspur ist so defekt, dass man die Sprache teilweise gar nicht verstehen kann. Der englische Ton ist nicht ganz so stark defekt. Also schaltet man auf den englischen Ton. Da mein Englisch aber nicht so gut ist, dass ich die Feinheiten verstehe und es gibt 'ne Menge davon, schaltet man auch noch die deutschen Untertitel ein. Damit kann man das Ganze eigentlich vergessen. Zur Erinnerung: Es handelt sich hierbei um die derzeit qualitativ beste Art einer Videoaufzeichnung! Natürlich habe ich die BD umgetauscht, mit dem Ergebnis, dass die zweite BD den gleichen Fehler aufweist. Zu einem weiteren Tausch hatte ich dann keine Lust mehr. Ich wünsche allen anderen Käufern eine intakte Tonspur. Vielleicht liegt es ja an meinem BD-Player. Aber alle anderen Blue-rays werden einwandfrei wiedergegeben!
