I loved Girls. Really, I loved everything about it. The awkward sex, the way men are portrayed, the way the girls don't know what they're doing with their lives. The show just seems so real without being reality TV.
The awkward sex for starters. Sex is messy, not always romantic and pretty as a lot of shows seem to make it out to be. Not to mention the main character's body type. She's not a flawlessly skinned, size zero, shiny haired supermodel. She looks like someone you might run into in New York City, she's not always put together perfectly, her hair isn't always perfect and it isn't the end of the world when she isn't perfect-there are bigger worries than her looks. It's nice to see men who aren't perfect too. Normally we see these guys that are perfect images of jocks, or are just completely nerdy. There is no middle ground. But these guys have real feelings. The girls all have all this potential for their lives, and very little holding them back, but they have no idea how to move forward with their lives.
I think it's really great to see something on tv that I can really relate to. The show may not represent everyone but it has enough in it to show everyone something they can relate to. Everyone has different experiences, and it's hard to portray that, but I think everyone can find some sort of experience in the show similar to theirs and learn from it.
