Girls

Girls; being critically acclaimed and buzzed at Golden Globes for its originality, is a passion project of the creator and the protagonist, Lena Dunham whose creativity and genuine soul is what keeps this character driven series flow frictionless. The series is shot beautifully and the camera work is utterly pleasing which helps seek attention of the viewers. The writing is strong, witty and brutally honest sometimes, which can be inedible for viewers especially for it resonates eerily with reality that we all reside in. The characters or even the actors aren't given priority especially not at the compromise of the story-line which is what makes it different from one's usual sitcom. Addition to that, the series can afford and does offer a wider range where each notes connects and hits to the audience; from humor to intense drama. It is rich on technical aspects like sound department, costume design and editing. It is no short on execution as it communicates with the viewers and offers a palpable environment, that is cozy, raw, bold and uneven, in short an apt depiction of the current generation's social life.

Season 03

This particular season explores characters in details, to a point where the plot barely advances and still it keeps the audience not only engaged but electrified where the credit goes to both the performance and the execution without which the series never had that chance to even pick up; especially the episodes directed by Lena Dunham.

The politics and the career struggles offered in here are intriguing enough to invest in it and wisely doesn't go loud on any other side tracks too, and keeps it mild and subtle especially the breakdown of Lena Dunham's character.
