I had never seen or even heard of the show Girls prior to class last week. When we were watching it I found my self almost in a trance watching it. I was mesmerized by these characters, their personalities, their style, just everything about them. I feel like it is a kind of Sex In The City for a younger crowd. But what I love most about this show is that they show you real women, and real men trying to live in a real world. In Sex In The City they showed a more extravagant lifestyle of going out every night and shopping all the time. But in reality these are things that people our age can not do everyday, or even at all!
The show girls hit close to home for me because in a couple years I will be out of school trying to face a new world. I will be struggling with internships and jobs, as well as with love, sex, and friendship. I believe that this show is such an empowering one, I wish every female around our age could watch it. It promotes good self esteem, good friendships, and it shows the real hardships that come with life. I still have only seen the two episodes that we have watched in class and I am hooked. I want to watch the rest of the season. I am so glad that we finally have something on TV that shows real women, not stick figure models. And instead of showing glamorous lives, it shows that there are problems that come with life but you can get threw them. There is something for everyone in this show, something or somebody that everybody can relate to. I hope this show stays on for years to come, I would love to see where these characters end up 5 years from now.
