Zosia Mamet, Lena Dunham, Jemima Kirke, and Allison Williams in Girls (2012)

FAQ

Girls

FAQ



    Not directly, but Lena stated that the characters are drawn from life: "They're definitely based on me, my circle of friends, and combined with the lives of my staff writers.".



    Girls appears to subvert traditional romantic comedy clichés in the way that it treats relationships. Blissful romances are short-lived, and the twists in the interpersonal connections are often surprising. Yet over time the show's focus on relationships is striking. In Season 5, the girls are completely caught up in their love lives, even if their choices are not working out. So while the show positions itself as an anti-rom com with dark undertones, its focus on the subject argues that it is more romantic comedy than not.



    A complete Girls soundtrack, including scene descriptions, can be found on TuneFind.
