    Premise: Four friends discover the triumphs and hardships of post-college life 'one mistake at a time'

Why Girls (TV) might be annoying:

    The premise may lead some to think that this series is a 'Sex and the City' prequel.
    It also earned many comparisons to 'Desperate Housewives' and 'Gossip Girl.'
    John Cook of Gawker.com derided the show saying it is about 'children of wealthy famous people and shitty music and Facebook and how hard it is to know who you are and Thought Catalog and sexually transmitted diseases and the exhaustion of ceaselessly dramatizing your own life while posing as someone who understands the fundamental emptiness and narcissism of that very self-dramatization.'
    Many critics also complained about the main cast's lack of ethnic diversity.
    In fact, the only portrayal of an African-American person in the first season was a homeless man.

Why Girls (TV) might not be annoying:

    Prior to the series, creator Lena Dunham won Best Narrative Feature at South by Southwest and a Spirit Award for Best First Screenplay.
    Many of the show's plot elements were derived from Dunham's own real-life experiences.
    Dunham wrote, co-produced, and directed the pilot episode.
    The series has some very provocative scenes for a 'teen series.'
    James Poniewozik from 'TIME' reserved high praise for the series, calling it 'raw, audacious, nuanced and richly, often excruciatingly funny.'
    It essentially 'Stand by Me' meets 'Bridesmaids.'
